The objective of the Residents Travel Survey (ETR/FAMILITUR) is to provide information on the trips and excursions carried out by the population resident in Spain, both within the country and abroad, and their main characteristics (duration, expenditure, reason, accommodation, etc.).
In addition, it provides annual information on the percentage of the population travelling for personal reasons and investigates the reasons given by those who do not travel.
