Abstract
The length-time bias arising in many tourist surveys, is often not taken into account in stating the most common estimates. In this paper, by means of the application to tourism research on the Principality of Asturias, one can see that a model, suggested to provide us with better estimates of means and proportions under longitudinal bias conditions, shows very important differences with respect to the methods based on the usual estimators of these parameters.
