Long-term strategic cooperation partner is a spin-off
company Positium LBS.
Understand where people are (population), where they are
from (origin) and where they go (destination) through
mobile location data.

Tourism means the activity of visitors taking a
trip to a main destination outside the usual
environment
for less than a year, for any main purpose,
including business, leisure or other personal
purpose, other than to be employed by a
resident entity in the place visited.
(Eurostat 2014)
16. 16
Individual’s usual environment is defined as
the geographical area
(though not necessarily a contiguous one)
within which an individual conducts his/her
regular life routines.
(Eurostat 2008).
17. 17
The usual environment of an individual
includes the place of usual residence of the
household to which he/she belongs,
his/her own place of work or study and any
other place that he/she visits regularly and
frequently,
even when this place is located far away from
his/her place of usual residence or in another
locality.
(Eurostat 2008)
18. 18
The determination of the usual environment
should be based on the following criteria:
A. frequency of the trip (except for visits to
vacation homes);
B. duration of the trip;
C. the crossing of administrative or national
borders;
D. distance from the place of usual residence
E. the purpose of the visit.
(Eurostat 2014)
20. Activity space can be defined by six
elements:
20
1. home location;
2. duration of residence;
3. the number of activity locations in the vicinity of
home;
4. trips within the neighbourhood;
5. mobility to and from frequently visited activity
locations;
6. travel between and around the centres of daily
life
(Schönfelder & Axhausen 2010)
21. Available data collection methods
21
Traditional data sources:
accommodation statistics
surveys
travel diaries
interviews
New available datasets:
mobile positioning data
GPS data
24. Domestic trips outside the usual environment in Estonia

34. Discussion
34
Precise, longitudional data on individual level.
There is a need for clarifying temporal and spatial
parametres of usual environment:
frequency;
duration;
distance.
Is there a need for qualitative data?
Usual environment as a network of connected
places, activities and people?
35. Conclusions
35
Microdata from mobile devices gives new
opportunities for identifying and measuring
usual environment.
New data for “old concepts”.
Useful for online monitoring and marketing.
Valuable input for tourism statistics.
36. Thank you for your attention!
