Introduction
1.1 Background
India, a tourism hotspot in the world, has a large bouquet of visitor
attractions to boast of. Its widespread diversity has always attracted both
foreigners as well as its’ own citizens alike, to explore its mirth and gaiety
that it has to offer the world. Every nook and cranny of the country offers
exquisite as well as exclusive tourism resource which echoes heritage as
well as tradition of that particular area. There is hardly any country in the
world which offers such wide variety of tourism.
The total domestic and foreign visitors to the country for the year 2005 stood
at 382 Mn and 3.92 Mn respectively. For the year 2004 the total domestic
and foreign visitors to the country stood at 366 Mn and 3.46 Mn respectively
However, India’s percentage share in total world tourist visits still remains
paltry at 0.39% and its share in the total world tourism receipts stands at a
miniscule 0.69% (2005 fig.).
The Govt. of India has embarked on a plan to promote Indian tourism
focusing primarily on the resources – their strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats, plans and strategies to promote them.
Keeping in mind the above considerations, Ministry of Tourism,
Government of India initiated pilot surveys in ten states including
Karnataka state on a plan to outsource collection activity of tourism statistics
for the different states. ACNielsen ORG-MARG Pvt. Ltd. was entrusted
with collection of tourism statistics for the State of Karnataka. The pilot
survey was for a period of 12 months with the purpose to gain experience
for future surveys.
1
The main aim of the proposed survey was to collect relevant tourist related
statistics for understanding subtle trends related to visitors (both domestic
as well as foreign ones) in the State. Additionally it was also intended to
provide a comprehensive listing of available accommodation infrastructure
in prime tourist destinations in the State, including those of the unorganized
sector, for a period of 1 year. The survey along with an assessment of the
direct employment generated by the tourism sector, estimate the
expenditure patterns of tourists, tourist needs, preferences and satisfaction
levels with regard to the various available facilities in the State.
1.2. Terms of Reference

Tourism in Karnataka
2.1
Tourism in Karnataka – An Overview
Situated in the southern part of India, the province of Karnataka spreads over
the Deccan Plateau. Karnataka is the eighth largest state in India in both area
and population. It was formerly known as Mysore. On November 1,1973, the
name Mysore was changed to Karnataka. The name of the land Karnataka
has come from `Kari-nadu` meaning the land of black soil say the scholars, &
some others hold that `Karunadu` also means beautiful country; either way
the land is celebrated as beautiful throughout its ancient literature. The State
is situated between 74o E and 78o E longitudes and between 11oN and 18o N
latitudes.
The topography of Karnataka is largely a reflection of the geology of the state.
The Sahyadris are covered with evergreen forests. They drop abruptly
towards the Arabian Sea, thus forming a natural barrier between the plateau
and the coastal regions. Four passes provide access to the coast. They are
the Subrahmanya Ghat, the Charmadi Ghat, the Shiradi Ghat, and the
famous Agumbe Ghat. The western Ghats slope gently towards the Bay of
Bengal. This is the plateau region drained by the two principal rivers Krishna
and the Kaveri. The average elevation of the plateau is about 610 meters
above sea-level.
Karnataka's manifold attractions include everything that interests the visitors.
The wild life sanctuaries at Bandipur, Nagarhole and Dandeli, the
Ranganathittu Bird's Sanctuary. 5 Km. from Srirangapatna which is itself a
well known tourist center, hill stations like Nandi Hills and Kemmannagundi
and Mercara, beach resorts like Karwar, Ullal, Malpe and Maravanthe, the
world famous Brindavan Gardens at Krishnarajasagara, the monolithic statue
of Gommateshwara at Sharavanabelagola, Gol Gumbaz with its whispering
5
gallery at Bijapur, the Jog falls and other water falls at Shiva Samudram,
Magod, Unchelli or Lushington near Siddapur, Lalguli at Yallapur and other
places indicate the variety and richness of the attractions that Karnataka
State holds out to the visitors.
There are many places of historic and religious importance. The great
Acharyas, Shankara, Ramanuja and Madhwa, preached in this region. Great
reformers like Sri Basaveshwara, mathematicians like Baskaracharaya,
commentators like Sayana, saint poets like Purandaradasa and Kanakadasa,
great writers like Pampa, Harihara and Kumara Vyasa have all enriched the
heritage of Karnataka.

4.2.
Approach for earmarking tourist destinations
After listing all prime destinations in the State, experienced research
executives of ACNielsen ORG – MARG in consultation with officials of
Department of Tourism, Government of Karnataka and Ministry of
Tourism, Government of India, stratified tourist destinations in a particular
state into the following three categories:A: Prime destinations – To be visited twice every month
B: Moderate destinations – To be visited once every month
C: Less important destinations – To be visited once every month
District wise destinations, their location, importance as well as
categorization have been provided in the Tables below.
4.3.
Approach for sampling visitors in earmarked destinations
Exit interviews were conducted amongst sample visitors. The exit
interviews
were conducted simultaneously in 2 time clusters –
morning/late morning and post noon / evening across all locations.
Destination specific sample size was determined using statistical formulae
as mentioned below.
n
=
H2 × P × (1-P)
δ2
Where
n = Sample size
H = Confidence level factor, also known as Zά
P = Proportion ratio
δ = Tolerance/ precision level
16
The Z values for the above equation at different levels of confidence were
as follows:90% level of confidence
1.645
95% level of confidence
1.96
99% level of confidence
2.58
The precision level for calculating the sample size was taken at 0.25.
In the state of Karnataka there are 20 destinations (list provided in the
previous chapter) the methodology adopted to collect monthly statistics is
as follows:
A particular prime destination - P1 covered on say Day 1, Day2,
Day 3, & Day4 of the first week i.e. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday &
Wednesday of Week 1 of the month.
In Week2 of the month the same destination P1 covered on Day 5,
Day 6 and Day 7 i.e. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Week 2 of
the month.
In Week 3 of the month the same destination P1 covered again on
Day1, Day2, Day 3, & Day4 of the third week i.e. Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday & Wednesday of Week 3 of the month.
In Week 4 of the month the same destination P1 covered on Day 5,
Day 6 and Day 7 i.e. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Week 4 of
the month.
Thus there are tourist traffic for destination P1 in a month for 14
days i.e.
for each day of a week there are two observations in
a month
17
considering various multipliers which may govern the
flow of traffic at a particular location , these multipliers
could be
•
holiday
•
festival
•
seasonal
•
any untoward situation
•
political /social instability
•
any other
These multipliers are being assigned in the form of
weights to each of the observations to get a weighted
average for a particular day.
This is being projected for an month for Prime
destination P1
The same methodology is used for Moderate destinations wherein also
the data for 14 days has been captured. In case of less important
destination the same approach was adopted but for a period of 7 days.
4.4.
Selection criteria for visitors for interview at a particular location
The selection of sample was done at exit points since it is a better choice
of collating general information covering the several aspects including
expenditure on different items of equal importance. Each interview was
restricted to eight or ten minutes. The frequency of conducting the
interview has already been indicated above. The information collected has
been elaborated in the respective questionnaires. The experienced
investigators of ACNielsen ORG MARG observed the flow of tourist traffic
for a particular time cluster and depending on the mix of tourist traffic
(domestic/ foreign/ day) visiting the location at that particular time cluster,
decided upon the sample respondent categories (domestic/ foreign/ day),
to be contacted to procure information. Logical checks to eliminate bias
18
between domestic overnight visitors and day tourists were incorporated in
the questionnaire. (Pls. refer annexure for details). The head of the family/
group of visitor was interviewed in order to eliminate bias.
The term overnight visitors have been defined as “the tourists visiting the
destinations/locations and staying overnight”. In the report, the overnight
visitors have been further classified into domestic overnight visitors and
foreign overnight visitors and have been so referred to in the subsequent
chapters.
4.5.
Estimation of sample size to be contacted at each location
The sample size for no. of visitors to be contacted during the course of
primary field work has been determined on the basis of the visits to the
state in the year 2003. As per the Statistics released by Ministry of
Tourism, Govt. of India for the year, the total no. of visitors to the State
was 11425200, with an overwhelming majority of domestic overnight
visitors (in the tune of 99%) to the state.
Considering the above figure as base, the sample size calculated using
the formulae indicated above, at 99% level of confidence was 22915.
Distributing the same over earmarked locations (40) over a period of 12
months, the no of visitors to be contacted in each location would be 48.
= 22915 / (12 × 40) = 48
The statistically derived sample sizes more or less matches if 0.05% of the
total visitors to the State of Karnataka are taken into account. The no. of
contacts to be made in each location comes to 34 in that calculation.

4.6.
Approach for procuring information from Accommodation Units/
Guest Houses/ Dharmashalas / Restaurants at each of the
destinations
In this segment a twin approach was carried out. Firstly, through
secondary research, generation of the list of hotels, guesthouses,
dharamshalas, and restaurants in a particular place but this only
provided the registered ones.
Next by adoption of a snow balling approach, generation of the list
of unregistered ones with the help of local tour operators, travel and
booking agents, representatives/brokers at the stations and bus
stands.
Preparation of a consolidated list including both registered and
unregistered hotels and carry out the exercise of FIXATION.
Compilation of the information indicated above, unit wise, on a
monthly basis
This exercise was carried out in the end of a particular month,
which may be spilled over to first week of subsequent month to get
the information of the preceding month.
4.7. Approach for procuring information from Agents / Tour Operators
A list of tour operators in the earmarked locations was generated. The
questionnaires designed for the tour operators were administered among
the identified tour operators at a frequency of 1 month.
4.8. Approach for procuring information from Handicraft Shops
A similar approach, like that of the tour operators was adopted for the
handicraft shops. The approach and frequency of contact remained the
same.
20
4.9. Approach for estimation of Day Tourists at various locations
In consultation with the State Tourism Department, Accommodation Units
and Tour Operators contacted, locations in the State were identified,
which were visited only by the day tourists. Weightage was accorded to
those locations on the basis of their importance, seasonality of tourist
traffic flow (from past records) etc.
The term day tourist is defined as” tourists visiting the destination/location
for a single day and not staying overnight”
Certain areas had entry tickets. Estimation of day tourists for those
locations was done from the records of ticket sales in those locations.
For other locations which did not have entry tickets, an estimation
procedure was adopted, in which the proportion of day tourists was
calculated from the tourist interview. Finally using the records collated
from accommodation units and using weightage for the particular area, the
estimated no. of day tourists for a particular location was calculated.
4.10. Details of Sample Size of Visitors
.A total of 9723 overnight visitors (in cluding domestic and foreign) were
interviewd at various locations in the state of Karnataka in order to draw
an indicative trend of their profile across the entire year –survey period.

ANNEXURES

Annexure I: Feedback on Methodological and Operational Issues
Selection of Survey Locations
The focus of present survey was on tourist destinations of the state. The
methodology adopted for selection of survey location was as follows:
• Step 1 :- Consultation with the State Government
• Step 2 :- Finalization of locations, wherein survey was to be carried out
• Step 3 :- Census of Accommodation Units in the finalized locations
• Step 4:- Fixation of Units in form of a panel and collation of data at a monthly
frequency.
• Step 5:- Categorization of tourist spots within the identified locations viz. A, B
and C, wherein category A was visited 3 times a week, Category B – twice a
week and Category C Once a week.
• Step 6:- Carrying out tourist interview in each of these locations. No. of
tourists to be interviewed at each location was pre determined from the
sampling frame. The data was used to estimate the day tourists.
As all locations in a particular state were not covered, hence considerable
discrepancy existed with regard to the Total tourist visits in the State as some of
the state governments argued. Further, a considerable amount of discrepancy
existed with regard to the estimated no. of day visitors, which varied from the
State Government Estimates. It is suggested that in future, a census of all
accommodation units in the State to be undertaken. This should also
encompass the locations classified under “other” locations previously. The
accommodation unit profiling shall be provided in only 1 report (Annual), while
the data collated from these units shall be provided in each monthly report. This
would provide a much more comprehensive picture for the Accommodation
Units in the State. A similar census for the Tourism Service providers (Travel
Agents/ Tour Operators/ HORECA’s) may provide the State as well as the
Centre with a tool highlighting the total tourism infrastructure in the State.
Secondary Research
Time Series data could be collected on major issues relating to tourism from
State Government Departments, Corporations, Public Sector undertakings etc.
Combining the primary and secondary data on tourist inflow and discussions
with knowledgeable persons, future projections could be made on tourist inflow.
Cost benefit analysis of tourism development in the state can also be attempted.
(On the basis of infrastructure developed for tourism and income & employment
generation on account of tourism).
Survey Instruments
Apart from asking the visitors about North Eastern States and Buddhist circuits
(or any other major tourism product), focus shall have to be provided on their
enabling factors and their motivations for visiting the particular locations/ State
and their reasons for choosing the same.

Executive Summary
1. Tourism in Karnataka
Situated in the southern part of India, the province of Karnataka spreads over
the Deccan Plateau. Karnataka is the eighth largest state in India in both area
and population. It was formerly known as Mysore. On November 1,1973, the
name Mysore was changed to Karnataka. The name of the land Karnataka
has come from `Kari-nadu` meaning the land of black soil say the scholars, &
some others hold that `Karunadu` also means beautiful country; either way
the land is celebrated as beautiful throughout its ancient literature. The State
is situated between 74o E and 78o E longitudes and between 11oN and 18o N
latitudes.
Karnataka's manifold attractions include everything that interests the visitors.
The wild life sanctuaries at Bandipur, Nagarhole and Dandeli, the
Ranganathittu Bird's Sanctuary. 5 Km. from Srangapatna which is itself a well
known tourist center, hill stations like Nandi Hills and Kemmannagundi and
Mercara, beach resorts like Karwar, Ullal, Malpe and Maravanthe, the world
famous Brindavan Gardens at Krishnarajasagara, the monolithic statue of
Gommateshwara at Sharavanabelagola, Gol Gumbaz with its whispering
gallery at Bijapur, the Jog falls and other water falls at Shiva Samudram,
Magod, Unchelli or Lushington near Siddapur, Lalguli at Yallapur and other
places indicate the variety and richness of the attractions that Karnataka
State holds out to the visitors.
