Prologue
Outline of the Report
AB-ROAD Overseas Travel Survey 2011
●PurposeTo determine details regarding booking, expenses, and degree of satisfaction among those who traveled overseas
in 2010.
●RespondentsThose who traveled overseas in 2010 (whose month of departure was in 2010) were selected from INTAGE’s
Intage Net Panel (the three regions of Kanto, Kansai, and Tokai).
●PeriodMay 29 (Tue.) through Apr 1 (Fri.), 2011
●Method
Internet survey
●Sample Size5,094 respondents (7,162 approached, 5,233 collected from for a collection rate of 73.1%)
●Tabulation Method
The survey results were subjected to tabulation (weight-back tabulation) by converting to the sex and age
composition of leisure travelers. The three areas covered were Kanto (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama,
Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaragi prefectures,) Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Nara, Shiga, Wakayama prefectures,) and
Tokai (Gifu, Shizuoka, Aichi, Mie prefectures.)
Addenda:
(1) Figures from past versions of this survey are quoted as time-series data.
2009 survey: Apr 10-14, 2009; tabulation sample size of 6,110
2010 survey: Mar 23-26, 2010; tabulation sample size of 5,280
(2) For single answers, since figures for each option are rounded off to the second decimal place, the total of all
options may not add up to exactly 100%.
(3) Since figures are rounded off, figures of 0.04% or less (including 0%) are all indicated as "‐."
(4) In order to precisely identify destinations, respondents who had been on multiple trips were asked about the
last trip they took.
(5) The terms "first visit" and "repeater" in the "incidence of first visit" graph are defined as follows.
"First visit": The last trip taken was the first visit to the corresponding country / area.
"Repeater": The last trip taken was the second visit or even later visit to the corresponding country / area.
*If two or more countries / area are designated (such as "Canada / Alaska") a second or later visit to either country
/ area constitutes a "repeater."

■Degree of satisfaction (Those for whom this destination was the first among their final destinations/Single answer each)
※ "Was good / Total" represents the sum of "I went with expectations and found those expectations met" and "I went without expectations but found it
was good upon going."
(For "Sightseeing / viewing," "Sports / hands-on activities," "Meals," "Shopping," "Relaxation / Beauty treatments and massages," and "Night life," tabulations
were done excluding those who did not engage in these matters.)
※ For those who visited multiple countries / areas on their last trip in 2010, questioning about degree of satisfaction was limited to the country / area that was
the first destination.
※ Items for which there were under 30 samples are included as reference data.
●Degree of satisfaction▽ The overall degree of satisfaction was 91.7%. A look at each degree of satisfaction attribute shows that
"Sightseeing / Viewing" (95.5%) garnered the largest percentage and was followed by "Safety / Hygiene"
(88.0%) and "Night life" (84.8%).

the first destination.
※ Items for which there were under 30 samples are included as reference data.

●Degree of satisfaction▽ The overall degree of satisfaction was 96.1%. A look at each degree of satisfaction attribute shows that
"Sightseeing / Viewing" (94.2%) and "Safety / Hygiene" (94.2%) garnered the largest percentage and was
followed by "Night life" (90.4%) and "Local Hospitality" (90.0%).
■Degree of satisfaction (Those for whom this destination was the first among their final destinations/Single answer each)
※ "Was good / Total" represents the sum of "I went with expectations and found those expectations met" and "I went without expectations but found it
was good upon going."
(For "Sightseeing / viewing," "Sports / hands-on activities," "Meals," "Shopping," "Relaxation / Beauty treatments and massages," and "Night life," tabulations
were done excluding those who did not engage in these matters.)
※ For those who visited multiple countries / areas on their last trip in 2010, questioning about degree of satisfaction was limited to the country / area that was
the first destination.
※ Items for which there were under 30 samples are included as reference data.
