Mikrocensus 1972, 4. quarter: Holiday Trips

In December 1972 a study on holiday trips of the Austrian population is conducted in the course of the Mikrozensus. This survey is limited (as was the previous Mirkrozensus survey 3 years prior MZ6904) to the main holidays (with a minimum number of 4 overnight stays outside the residential area). In September 1971 there was a special survey on short vacations on certain official holidays. The massive increase in tourism is a characteristic feature of the economic and social development of the last decades. The ongoing statistic on tourism which registers arrival and overnight stays in lodging establishments and private homes provides information on the travel-flow but not on the composition of the groups of travellers. This additional information is provided through sampling in many European countries on recommendation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). With this Mikrozensus special survey Austria contributes to this household survey on holiday habits which is conducted simultaneously in most OECD-countries. The comparability of the results is warranted thanks to a survey catalogue fixed by the OECD some time ago. Therefore, the question program differs only slightly from the question program of the year 1969.

1972年12月，奥地利依托微人口普查（Mikrozensus）项目，开展了一项针对本国民众假日出行的研究。本次调查与三年前的MZ6904号微人口普查调查标准一致，仅覆盖主假日出行场景，要求出行者在居住区域外至少留宿4晚。1971年9月，奥地利曾针对特定法定假日的短途度假开展过专项调查。

旅游业的大幅增长是近几十年来经济与社会发展的典型特征。现行的旅游统计体系通过登记住宿经营机构及私人住宅中的到访客流与留宿时长，仅能获取出行流量相关信息，却无法反映旅行者群体的构成情况。应经济合作与发展组织（Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development，OECD）的倡议，诸多欧洲国家通过抽样调查获取此类补充信息。

借助本次微人口普查专项调查，奥地利加入了多数经合组织成员国同步开展的假日出行习惯家庭调查项目。得益于经合组织早前制定的统一调查指南，本次调查结果的可比性得到充分保障。因此，本次调查的问卷题项框架仅与1969年版本存在细微差异。
