DATA NOTES
For the reference month, the estimates presented in this publication provide an early indication of short-term visitor arrival movements prior to final data becoming available. Monthly data prior to the reference month are final estimates. The ABS encourages users of these data to refer to the ABS monthly publication,
Overseas Arrivals and Departures, Australia (cat. no. 3401.0) for final ABS estimates of short-term visitor arrivals for the reference period. Final estimates for October 2007 will be released on 5 December 2007.
This publication contains movement data. Care should be taken when interpreting this movement data as 'people'. See Explanatory Note 6.
Calculations of percentage and numeric change as shown in the Main Features of this publication are based on unrounded data. See Explanatory Note 10.
Original estimates are influenced by seasonal and one-off or irregular factors which may distort interpretations of the underlying growth in the series. Therefore, the ABS encourages the use of the trend estimates for time series analysis. See the Demography Working Paper 2004/2 - Interpretation and Use of Overseas Arrivals and Departures Estimates (cat. no. 3106.0.55.002).
Trend and seasonally adjusted estimates are subject to revision, particularly at the current end of the series, due to additional original information becoming available. See Explanatory Notes 14 to 19.
