Tourist Price Index (TPI) reflects the price changes of goods and services consumed by inbound visitors.

Starting from the third quarter of 2000, the Statistics and Census Service publishes TPI on a quarterly basis. The base period of TPI is from July 1999 to June 2000; it is calculated according to the consumption pattern of visitors obtained from the Visitor Expenditure Survey.

Tourist Price Index (TPI) for the third quarter of 2004 was 106.37, up 1.15% compared with the previous quarter. Due to rising prices in hotel accommodation, night clubs and jewellery, indices of Accommodation, Entertainment and culture and Miscellaneous goods went up 7.54%, 3.44% and 1.54% respectively. On the other hand, falling prices in summer clothing and footwear led to a decrease in the index of Clothing and footwear (-3.26%).

Compared with the same quarter of 2003, TPI increased by 4.21%, of which Accommodation (+9.23%), Entertainment and culture (+7.75%) and Miscellaneous goods (+7.38%) recorded the most notable increases.

No. 3 DSEC 3^rdQUARTER/2004 TOURIST PRICE INDEX

METHODOLOGY

The 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 change of the goods and services purchased by visitors, and measures 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 current period. The aggregate index compiled from the simple indices uses the Laspeyres Index formula.
