Tasmanian Visitor Survey

The Tasmanian Visitor Survey (TVS) is designed to provide a profile of the characteristics, travel behaviour, and expenditure of international and domestic visitors to Tasmania.

The TVS also collects some information on travel patterns of Tasmanians out of their home state.

The data collected in the TVS is provided to the Tasmanian tourism industry and to government to facilitate and promote the development of the industry.
