Fig. 9 a Percentage of reported temporal data quality by gender. b Percentage of reported
temporal data quality by number of adults in the group. c Percentage of completeness of temporal
events by age groups
completeness of temporal events in the survey, but reported arrival times are closer
to the estimated times from minimum cost travel times. This could imply that the
more people travelling together results in a more random arrival times in the
itineraries.
As for the completeness of recording temporal events by age groups, Fig.

c
summarizes the difference of percentages among 12 groups at 5 year intervals.
Tourists around 60-65 years old completed most of the temporal events followed
by the group of 35-39 years old. General trend is that younger respondents
recorded less temporal information in the records of WCTFS.
3.2.5 Patterns of Gaps and Errors by Survey Instruments
WCTFS data was obtained by two survey instruments collected in almost equal
numbers: a diary survey completed during the itinerary itself and face-to-face,
retrospective, exit interviews at the main portals. Each instrument has advantages
and disadvantages of recording itinerary events.
