Passenger Exit Survey May 2024
Exit Survey Report This report measures passengers and visitors departing Jersey for the month of May 2024. The methodology for these statistics is modelled on the International Passenger Survey conducted by the UK Office for National Statistics. Passengers are selected at random to take part in face to face interviews as they are leaving Jersey’s ports. There are two elements; the Passenger Calibration Survey and the more comprehensive Visitor Exit Survey. This report is for the Passenger Calibration Survey which reflects a short set of questions designed to break down (or calibrate) departing passengers. This short survey provides a profile of passengers leaving Jersey e.g. the proportion that are tourism visitors vs the proportion who are residents travelling off-island. Throughout this report, annual figures for 2024 are compared with 2023 to present annual change and with 2019, as the latter reflects the most recent year in which travel was not impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and is still being used as a benchmark year for the travel industry. Survey fieldwork ceased to be implemented in March 2020 due to the start of Covid-19 and the significant impact it had on travel. Survey research was not able to commence again until early 2022. All figures in this report have been rounded independently to the nearest 10 and so the figures in columns and rows may not always sum exactly to total figures presented in the tables or graphs.
