The Tourist Price Index (TPI) for the third quarter of 2007 was 127.71, down by 1.44%
over the previous quarter. The indices of Accommodation and Clothing & footwear dropped by 14.96% and 3.39% respectively, on account of lower hotel room rates after the Easter break and Labour Day “Golden Week” holidays in the previous quarter, as well as reduction sale of Summer clothing and footwear.
On the other hand, attributable to rising prices of meat jerky, higher charges of Portuguese cuisine, as well as dearer prices of furniture and handicrafts, the indices of Food, alcoholic drinks
& tobacco, Restaurant service and Miscellaneous goods went up by 2.43%, 1.44% and 0.82%
respectively.
Compared with the third quarter of 2006, TPI rose by 8.59% in this quarter, with notable increase in the indices of Restaurant service (+15.39%), Miscellaneous goods (+10.85%) and Accommodation (+9.63%). The average TPI for the last 4 quarters ended the third quarter of 2007 rose by 9.02% over the preceding period.

No. 3 DSEC 3rd QUARTER/2007 TOURIST PRICE INDEX
METHODOLOGY
Consumption structure of the 1999/2000-based quarterly Tourist Price Index (TPI) is obtained from the Visitor Expenditure Survey. The representative goods and services of the TPI “basket” are selected according to the percentage share of each item in the total expenditure. TPI is used to reflect the price changes of the goods and services purchased by visitors in order to measure the real change of visitors’expenditure.
TPI comprises 89 items of goods and services, which are grouped into 8 sections, as follows:
Section 1: Food, alcoholic drinks and tobacco Section 2: Clothing and footwear
Section 3: Accommodation Section 4: Restaurant service
Section 5: Transport and communications Section 6: Medicine and personal goods Section 7: Entertainment and culture Section 8: Miscellaneous goods
Every quarter, enumerators from the Statistics and Census Service visit 118 selected outlets to collect price information on the TPI goods and services. These outlets include souvenir and Chinese pastry shops, hotels, restaurants, boutiques, entertainment establishments, jewellery stores and ticket outlets for outbound transport.
For index calculation, the average price of the goods and services in the base period is the simple average of the four quarters in the base year. The simple index of the item measures its price change between the base period and the current period. The aggregate index is compiled from the simple indices by using the Laspeyres Index formula.
