Number of 'natural' type tourist attractions

Two key indicators have been defined for attractions: (1) the number of visits made during the year to those attractions. (2) the number of attractions in the territory of the entity (disaggregated by type of attraction for the most recent years). The number of attractions listed is based on the annual guide “[\2](\1)”. The list of attractions considered is intended to be as exhaustive as possible. Other attractions, not included in the guide but corresponding to the definition ‘place where Belgian or foreign excursionists visit during a day’, have therefore also been added to the list and taken into account in the visitor survey. The inventory and survey are carried out by the Walloon Tourism Observatory (OTW) every year. Some attractions in the German-speaking municipalities are included and surveyed, but completeness is not necessarily sought by the OTW for these German-speaking municipalities. It is possible that in the future the same comprehensiveness and survey approach will be carried out by the German-speaking Community. It should be noted, however, that many attractions in the German-speaking Community are run by non-profit organisations and that the criteria for defining what an attraction is will not necessarily be similar to those used by the OTW. From 2019, the data is anonymized with the TAUARGUS method. It is possible that the value of some municipalities is hidden even if the total number of attractions is more than 3. The number of visits per province are, as of this date, available in the excel file.
