PREFACE
The “Survey on foreign visitors at border crossings” is conducted in accordance with the Programme for Statistical Surveys 2008-2012 No. 19-31/1 (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia" No. 11/08), in co-operation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs - Department of Border Police.
The basic concept of the survey can be found in the publication "Frontier statistics on tourism" of the World Tourism Organisation, within the provisions of the Council Directive (95/57/EC) on Tourism Statistics, and in the publication "Provisional Guidelines on Statistics of International Tourism", series M.N.62, United Nations, New York 1978.
This survey has been conducted on a regular basis since 1980. The last data produced by the State Statistical Office are from 2004. The survey conducted in 2009 provides structural data on the foreign travellers (same-day visitors - excursionists, transit travellers or visitors on temporary stay), social characteristics, expenditures, as well as on the evaluations of the services in the country. The survey has been conducted on a sample of 1650 visitors at 9 border crossings, 8 for passenger cars and one at the airports.
The processed data are presented in tables, some of which are included in this publication. These data, used together with the existing monthly and yearly statistical border crossing data, maintained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs - Department of Border Police, will help users to perform adequate analyses of tourism and tourism revenues.
The State Statistical Office will appreciate any suggestion aimed at improving the statistical survey and the quality of data.

METODOLO[KI OBJASNUVAWA
cel na anketataCelta na sproveduvaweto na ovaa Anketa e povrzana so zna~eweto na podatocite {to se dobivaat za
ednodnevnite izletnici i tranzitnite patnici kako kategorija na lica koi doa|aat vo zemjata i imaat svoja specifi~na potro{uva~ka i pobaruva~ka.
Osnovna indikacija za frekvencijata i obemot na patnicite se podatocite za preminuvaweto na dr`avnata granica {to ja vodi Ministerstvoto za vnatre{ni raboti -Oddelot za grani~na policija.
So ovaa Anketa, vsu{nost, se dobivaat osnovnite proporcii na izleguvawata od zemjata i so toa }e se razgrani~at patuvawata za turisti~ki celi od vkupniot broj na patnici koi se evidentiraat na grani~nite premini.
Vo osnovnata evidencija za pominuvaweto na patnici preku granicata {to ja obezbeduva MVR, se raspolaga so podatoci za brojot na patnicite i vozilata po grani~ni premini i spored vidot na preminuvaweto na granicata (po pat, preku aerodrom i so `eleznica).
So Anketata se obezbeduvaat podatoci za statisti~ki celi, no i za potrebite na podetalni istra`uvawa vo oblasta na turizmot i za presmetka na turisti~kata potro{uva~ka.
Edinici na anketiraweOsnovna edinica za anketirawe vo ovaa Anketa na granicata se stranskite lica, nerezidenti, koi
samostojno ili so svojata familija se nao|aat vo poseta na Republika Makedonija i so patni~ko vozilo so stranska registracija ja napu{taat Republika Makedonija na odredeno grani~no mesto, t.e. ja napu{taat Republika Makedonija preku aerodromot "Aleksandar Veliki".
Stranski posetitel e lice koe ima postojano mesto na `iveewe nadvor od Republika Makedonija i prestojuvalo vo zemjata zaradi rekreacija, odmor ili drugi pri~ini. Stranskite posetiteli koi izleguvaat od zemjata, a vo nea prestojuvaat poradi delovni pri~ini i za toa se plateni od strana na na{ata zemja, nema da se smetaat kako posetiteli.
Licata koi se dr`avjani na Makedonija, no ja napu{taat zemjata so vozilo so stranska registracija se smetaat kako lica koi }e se anketiraat so ovaa Anketa.
Licata koi prestojuvaat pove}e od 12 meseci vo zemjata, nema da se anketiraat vo ovaa Anketa.
Izletnici se licata koi prestojuvaat vo Makedonija samo eden den, ne no}evaat vo zemjata i istiot den se vra}aat vo svojata zemja.
Tranzitni patnici
Kako tranzitni patnici treba da se smetaat licata koi vo zemjata vleguvaat od eden grani~en premin, a izleguvaat od drug, so cel da go prodol`at ili zavr{at patuvaweto vo druga zemja i pritoa ne preno}uvaat nitu edna no} vo zemjata.
Licata koi mo`ebi poradi dale~inata na nivnoto patuvawe no}evale vo svojot avtomobil na teritorijata na Makedonija, ne se smetaat za tranzitni patnici tuku kako lica so prestoj. Vo Anketata od 2009 godina posebno se prika`ani i posetitelite od Kosovo (spored UNSCR 1244).
Vreme za anketiraweVremeto za anketirawe se definira vo zavisnost od toa vo koi meseci e najgolem prometot na
patnici.
Spored podatocite za izlezot na stranski dr`avjani od Makedonija vo 2008 godina, kako meseci za anketirawe se izbrani juni, juli, avgust i septemvri.
Za izbranite grani~ni premini se izbiraat denovi i dnevni kvoti za anketirawe, a ~ekorot za anketirawe be{e odreden za sekoj premin posebno.
Vremeto na anketirawe se odreduva od 6 do 22 ili do 24 ~asot, vo zavisnost od sostojbata na sekoj premin
Opfat na grani~nite premini-mesto na sproveduvawe na AnketataPo pravilo, opfateni se grani~nite premini kade {to frekvencijata na patnici e najgolema sledej}i go

Stranskite patnici koi ja napu{taat na{ata zemja vo avtobusi nema da se zemat vo primerokot za anketirawe, no vo kontrolniot obrazec }e se vnese brojot na avtobusi so stranska registracija (Obrazec TU.16/1).
Vo presmetuvaweto na vkupnite rezultati treba da se ima predvid vlijanieto na goleminata na toj vid na prevoz za ocenka na turisti~kata potro{uva~ka ili za dvi`ewata vo turizmot.
Opredeluvaweto na preminite, dizajnot i goleminata na primerokot e predlo`ena od Oddelenieto za statisti~ki i matemati~ki metodi i kvalitet na statisti~kite istra`uvawa, a brojot na licata za anketirawe iznesuva 1650, i toa 1502 za stranskite turisti na grani~nite premini i 148 za stranskite turisti na aerodromot "Aleksandar Veliki". Vo Republika Makedonija, vo momentot, na granicite so sosednite zemji postojat vkupno 20 premini i toa:
-kopneni patni premini - vkupno 15;
-premini na `eleznica 3;
-aerodromski premini 2.
Osnovno mno`estvo Osnovno mno`estvo e evidencijata za brojot na stranski patnici, odnosno stranski dr`avjani na izlez
na grani~nite premini, po meseci vo 2008 godina, dobiena od MVR. Ovaa evidencija sodr`i podatoci za 20 grani~ni premini, i toa za 15 premini za motorni vozila i za 3 `elezni~ki premini, za brojot na patnicite i na motornite vozila na vlez i na izlez od Republika Makedonija na tie premini, kako i za brojot na patnicite na dvata aerodroma.
Zaradi specifi~nosta na avionskiot prevoz, odlu~eno e da se napravi odvoen primerok za stranskite turisti na aerodromite.
Izborot na grani~nite premini proizleze od analizata na osnovnoto mno`estvo {to se sostoi vo presmetka i analiza na frekvenciite po meseci i po grani~ni premini, kako i presmetki na prose~nite frekvencii po denovi.
Dizajn, izbor i golemina na primerokotRamka za izborOpredeluvaweto na ramkata za izbor proizleguva od celite i predmetot na istra`uvaweto, kako i
od metodolo{kite re{enija predlo`eni od Eurostat. Iako za istra`uvaweto se interesni site stranski dr`avjani koi izlegle od Makedonija, eliminirani se `elezni~kite premini zaradi malata frekvencija na patnici {to iznesuva 1.47% (0.55, 0.79 i 0.13, soodvetno, na Gevgelija, Tabanovce i Volkovo) od site stranski turisti.
Istra`uvaweto e locirano vo 4 meseci (juni, juli, avgust i septemvri) i se analizirani frekvenciite na patnicite i vozilata vo tie meseci.
Od analizata na frekvenciite po grani~ni premini se zaklu~i deka na nekoi premini ima mnogu mal broj na patnici/vozila, taka {to e opredeleno vo ramkata da vlezat samo 8 grani~ni premini.
Pokrienost/opfatVaka definiranata ramka opfa}a vkupno 88.6% od stranskite patnici registrirani na izlez od
Makedonija na kopnenite patni premini.
Tip na promenaPrimerokot e dizajniran kako stratificiran dvoetapen slu~aen primerok . Vo prvata etapa slu~ajno
se biraat denovite na anketirawe, a vo vtorata sistematski, so slu~aen po~etok, se biraat motornite vozila od koi se anketira po edno lice.
StratifikacijaZaradi specifi~nosta na istra`uvaweto, napravena e dvojna stratifikacija:
- po meseci (4 stratumi)
- po grani~ni premini (8 stratumi)pri {to se dobivaat 32 stratumi vkupno.
Izbor na primero~nite ediniciPrimarnite edinici na izbor, t.e. denovite vo mesecite, se izbiraat slu~ajno vo sekoja sedmica, a
sekundarnite edinici na izbor, t.e. patni~kite vozila, se izbiraat sistematski, so slu~aen po~etok i odnapred utvrden ~ekor.

dizajniran e oddelen primerok za stranskite turisti koi ja napu{taat na{ata dr`ava preku aerodromskite premini.
Spored podatocite od evidencijata na MVR za 2008 godina, 179819 stranski dr`avjani izlegle od Republika Makedonija na dvata aerodroma, {to pretstavuva 5,59% od vkupniot broj (3218355) stranski dr`avjani evidentirani na izlez od Republika Makedonija. Na aerodromot "Aleksandar Veliki" se evidentirani 169841, a na aerodromot "Sv. Apostol Pavle" 9978 patnici na izlez od Republika Makedonija. Zaradi maliot broj na patnici na Aerodromot "Sv. Apostol Pavle", opredeleno e Anketata da se sprovede samo za stranskite patnici na aerodromot "Aleksandar Veliki".
Spored toa, sledej}i gi dizajnot na primerokot za stranskite turisti na grani~nite premini i primerokot za aerodromite, stratificiran e slu~aen primerok.
Stratifikacijata e po meseci (4 stratumi) i po destinacii (11 stratumi), taka {to vkupno se 44 stratuma.
Vo primerokot se zemeni 148 patnici, stranski dr`avjani, {to pretstavuva 0,08% od vkupniot broj na patnici na aerodromite na izlez od Republika Makedonija. Alokacijata po stratumi e napravena proporcionalno na brojot na patnicite.
Anketarot dobiva lista so opredeleni denovi na anketirawe, destinacii i broj na patnici na tie destinacii koi treba da bidat anketirani. Patnicite se biraat slu~ajno.
Metod na anketiraweVo Anketata se primeni metodot intervju. Anga`iranite anketari, so postavuvawe na pra{awa go
popolnuvaa Pra{alnikot koj, bidej}i e preveden na pove}e jazici, anketiranoto lice mo`e{e i samostojno da go popolnuva vo prisustvo na anketarot koj mu pomaga{e okolu pravilnoto popolnuvawe. (Za licata koi zaedni~ki patuvaat, pra{awata se postavuvaa na eden od ~lenovite na taa grupa).
Vo slu~aite koga izbranoto vozilo-lice }e odbie da dade odgovor, kriteriumot za izbor na slednoto vozilo e poblisku definiran vo delot za primerokot. Vo sekoj slu~aj, nezavisno od ~ekorot {to }e bide definiran, po`elno e slednoto vozilo da bide zapreno za anketirawe.
Na~in na sproveduvawe na AnketataLiceto anketar koj prethodno e obu~en za sproveduvawe na Anketata be{e najva`niot faktor za
uspe{no sproveduvawe na Anketata. Toj, vo soglasnost so upatstvoto za izbor kade {to se dadeni denovite za anketirawe i ~ekorot za izborot na voziloto, na najsoodveten na~in, neposredno, so pomo{ na licata od MVR, i na soodvetno mesto pred napu{taweto na granicata, go zapira voziloto i ostvaruva prv kontakt so edno od licata vo nego, obi~no nositel na doma}instvoto ili so lice koe }e izjavi deka }e gi dade podatocite.
Na patnikot izbran za anketirawe nakratko mu se pretstavuva i mu dava kusi informacii za Anketata.
Ako patnikot odlu~i sam da go popolni pra{alnikot, toga{ pomo{ta na anketarot se sostoi samo vo dopolnitelni informacii.
Anketiraweto se vr{i so pra{alnik na jazikot po izbor na liceto. Ako liceto ne gi zboruva jazicite od pra{alnicite, toga{ anketarot mu pomaga na najsoodveten na~in da gi razbere pra{awata.
Ako liceto od izbranoto vozilo odbie da dava podatoci, odnosno ne saka da bide anketirano, toga{ se izbira slednoto vozilo vo soglasnost so upatstvoto za izbor, so toa {to se po~ituva ~ekorot, a vo pomo{niot obrazec vo koj se brojat site vozila vo toj den treba da se zapi{e brojot na izbranite lica koi ja odbile sorabotkata.
Anketarot koj ja sproveduva{e anketata na aerodromot "Aleksandar Veliki", vo opredeleniot den i vo opredeleniot ~as koga poletuva avionot na opredelenata destinacija, treba{e da bide pristignat na aerodromot 1 ~as pred poletuvaweto na avionot.
Anketata se sproveduva{e vo prostorot po zavr{uvaweto na paso{kata kontrola vo koja patnicite go ~ekaat poletuvaweto na avionot. Anketarot, vo sorabotka so licata od grani~nata policija, izbira stranski patnik, nakratko mu se pretstavuva i mu dava kratki informacii za Anketata.
Ako izbranoto lice odbie da dava podatoci, se bira drugo lice na istata destinacija.

METHODOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS
Objective of the surveyThe objective of this Survey is related to the significance of the data on same-day visitors (excursionists) and transit
travellers as a category of persons who arrive in the country and have specific demands and expenditures.The basic indicator of the frequency and volume of travellers is the border crossing data collected and maintained
by the Ministry of Internal Affairs - Department of Border Police. This survey provides the basic proportions of all border crossings and will help to distinguish travelling for tourist
purposes from the total number of travellers registered at the border crossings.The basic border crossing records, kept by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, contain data only for the number of
passengers by border crossings and by type of border crossings (road, airport, railway).The Survey provides data for statistical purposes, as well as for the purpose of carrying out more detailed researches
in the field of tourism and tourist expenditures.
Observation unitsBasic observation unit in this survey at the border crossing are the foreign persons, non-residents, who by themselves
or with their families are visiting the Republic of Macedonia, and with foreign-registered motor vehicle leave the territory of the Republic of Macedonia at a road border crossing, or depart from the airport Alexander the Great.
Foreign visitor is a person permanently resident outside the Republic of Macedonia, and who stayed in the country for recreation, vacation or other purposes. Foreign visitors who leave the country, where they were for business purposes and were paid by our country, are not considered as foreign visitors.
Persons who are residents of the Republic of Macedonia and leave the country with a foreign-registered motor vehicle are included in the Survey.
Persons who are staying in the country more than 12 months are not included in the Survey.Excursionists are persons who stay in the Republic of Macedonia just for one day without spending the night, and
who return to their countries the same day.Transit travellersTransit travellers are persons who enter the country at one border crossing and leave the country at another border
crossing, on their way to another country, without spending a single night in the Republic of Macedonia.Persons, who because of the distance of their travelling spend the night in a car on the territory of the Republic of
Macedonia, are not transit travellers but they are considered as persons on temporary stay. Visitors from Kosovo (under UNSCR 1244) are shown separately in the 2009 Survey.
Period of conducting the surveyThe period of conducting the survey is defined according to the highest monthly frequency of passengers.According to the data on foreigner exits from the Republic of Macedonia in 2008, June, July, August and September
are selected as months for conducting the survey.Days and daily quotas for interviewing are selected for each border crossing, and the step of the interview was
determined for each border crossing separately.The interview is conducted between 06:00 and 22:00 or 24:00 hours, depending on the situation on each border
crossing.
Period of conducting the surveyAs usual, the surveys are held at the border crossings where the frequency of passengers is the highest, under the
criterion every border to be included. Two border crossings with each neighbouring country are selected, as well as the airport Alexander the Great.
The foreign passengers who leave the country by buses are not covered in the survey, and only the number of foreign-registered buses is included in the control form. (Form TU .16/1)
When calculating the final results we should take into account the influence of the extent (size, quantity) of this kind of transport on the evaluation of tourist expenditure or the movements in the tourist sector.
The selection of crossings, the design and the size of the sample are recommended by the Department for Statistical and Mathematical Methods and Quality of Statistical Surveys. The number of persons included in the survey is 1650, of
Statisti~ki pregled 8.4.10.01/64710
whom 1502 foreign tourists at the border crossings and 148 tourists at the airport Alexander the Great. At the moment, in the Republic of Macedonia there are 20 crossings:
Basic Population Basic Population is the record of the number of foreign tourists exiting at the border crossings, by months, in 2008,
obtained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This record includes data on all 20 border crossings, 15 for motor vehicles, 3 railway crossings, and 2 airport crossings.
Due to the specificity of the air transport, it was decided that a special sample should be made for the foreign tourists at the airports.
The selection of the border crossings was made upon the analysis of the basic population, which consists of calculation and analysis of the frequency by months and by border crossings and calculations of the average frequencies by days.
Design, selection and size of the sampleSampling frame The determination of the sampling frame depends on the purpose and the subject of the survey, as well as on the
methodology suggested by Eurostat. Although the foreign tourists exiting from the Republic of Macedonia at the railway border crossings are of interest, their number is negligible, 1.47% (0.55, 0.79 and 0.13 at Gevgelija, Tabanovce and Volkovo, respectively) of all the foreign tourists.
The survey was conducted in a period of 4 months (June, July, August and September), and the frequency of both the passengers and vehicles was analysed in these months.
From the analyses of these frequencies at the border crossings it was concluded that there are crossings where there is a very small number of passengers and vehicles; therefore, it was determined that only 8 border crossings should be taken into account in the sampling frame.
CoverageThis kind of frame covers 88.6% of the foreign passengers, registered at the exits of the Republic of Macedonia at
the land border crossings.\
Sample typeThe sample is designed as a stratified two-stage random sample. In the first stage the days for conducting the
survey are selected randomly, and in the second stage the motor vehicles are selected systematically, with a random start, and one of the passengers is interviewed.
StratificationDue to the particularity of the survey a double stratification has been made- By months (4 strata)- By border crossings (8 strata)The total number of strata is 32
Selection of the sample unitsTThe primary sample units, i.e. the days in the months, are selected randomly in each week, while the secondary
sample units, i.e. the passenger cars, are selected systematically, with random start and previously determined step.
Design, selection and size of the sample (airports)Because of the specific air traffic in the Republic of Macedonia, limited to only two airports, a separate sample has
been made for foreign tourists who are leaving the country at the airport border crossings.According to the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 2008, 179819 foreigners left the Republic of Macedonia
from the two airports, which represent 5.59% of the total number of foreigners (3218335) who left the Republic of Macedonia. There were 169841 passengers registered at the airport Alexander the Great, and 9978 passengers at the airport St. Paul the Apostle, who were leaving the Republic of Macedonia. Due to the small number of passengers at the airport St. Paul the Apostle it was decided that the Survey would be conducted only at the airport Alexander the Great.

Therefore, using the sample design for the land border crossings as a model, a stratified random sample is also used for the airports.
Stratification is by months (4 strata) and by destinations (11 strata), so there are a total of 44 strata.As this was the first time to interview foreign passengers at the airports, 148 foreign passengers, or 0.08% of the
total number of passengers departing from the Republic of Macedonia, were included in the sample. Allocation to strata has been made proportionally according to the number of passengers.
The interviewer is given a list with selected days for interviewing, destinations and number of passengers on those destinations who have to be interviewed. The passenger selection is random.
Method of interviewingThe method of the Survey was interview. The interviewers asked questions and filled the answers in the
questionnaires, which were printed in several languages so that the interviewed persons could fill them by themselves with the presence and help of the interviewer. (For the persons who were travelling together, the questions were presented to one person of the group).
In cases when the selected person refuses to be interviewed, the criterion for selection of another vehicle is more closely defined in the part for the sample. However, regardless of the defined step for selection, it is advisable to stop the next car for interviewing.
Method of conducting the survey The interviewer, trained for conducting the survey, is the most important factor for the success of the Survey. In
accordance with the manual for unit selection, where the days and steps for interviewing and car selection are given, the interviewer, in the most appropriate way, with the help of the border police, stops the foreign car at an appropriate place on the border before it leaves the country and establishes first contact with one of the passengers, usually the head of the household or the person who agrees to give the required data.
The interviewer introduces himself to the selected passenger, and he gives him short information about the Survey.
If the passenger decides to fill the questionnaire by himself, than the help of the interviewer is in giving additional information.
The interview is performed via a questionnaire in the language chosen by the interviewed person. If there is no language familiar to the interviewed person, the interviewer will give him appropriate help for understanding the questions.
If the selected person doesn’t want to be interviewed, the interviewer will select the next passenger car in accordance with the manual, and in the control form for that day he will fill the number of persons who refused to be interviewed.
The interviewer who conducted the survey at the airport Alexander the Great was at the place of interviewing one our before the departure of the plane to the selected destination.
The survey was performed on the premises after the passport control, where the passengers were waiting the departure of the plane. The interviewer, in co-operation with the border police, selects a foreign passenger, introduces himself and he gives him short information about the Survey.
If the selected person doesn’t want to be interviewed, the interviewer will select another person on the same flight destination.
