Average Daily Census measures the average number of visitors at the destination on any given day during the period in question. Even though it sounds a bit complicated, the calculation is actually pretty easy. Let's say that Hawaii had 8,941,394 visitors in 2016 who stayed an average of 8.99 days. How many visitors days is that? Divide that by the period in question (i.e., how many days were there in 2016?). So how many visitors were there in Hawaii on an average day in 2016? Right. 219,626. Not the number you got? Check your work (and don't forget the number of days in <b>2016</b>).plawlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14013515251127334156noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13098914.post-31022724313301714532013-06-28T08:08:00.001-10:002013-06-28T08:08:17.735-10:00<div class='visually_embed' data-category='Technology' rel='infographic'>
