Data providers: commercial accommodation establishments (hotels, boarding houses, camping sites, bungalow complexes, community hostels, holiday boats) operated for business purposes by economic operators. Data on holiday boats are not disclosed for data protection reasons.

Commercial accommodation services: The provision of accommodation and directly related services within the framework of business operations usually for the purpose of non-long-term stay also including overnight stay and rest.

Accommodation establishments in operation: units with a guest flow during the survey period. Capacity data for the reference period refer in each case to accommodation establishments in operation during the month.

Revenues in accommodation establishments: the revenues that were realised during the period under review. Types: accommodation, catering and other revenues. Contrary to the data previously reported by the HCSO, these revenues do not include items extending over the reference period that were subsequently recorded.

Revenues from catering services: revenues that only include amounts linked to rooms payable for food and drink consumption in catering establishments. Unlike previously reported by the HCSO, they do not include items charged for consumption by external guests in hotels.

Other revenue: includes the amounts paid by guests for spa and wellness services and other charges (excluding accommodation, catering fees and tourist tax).

Comparability is ensured during the calculation of indices.

The sums of individual figures – due to rounding – may differ from the total figures.

Monthly data for commercial accommodation in the first release are provisional.

Data correction: data may differ from those previously published due to the retrospective correction of erroneous data and the ex-post inclusion of data submitted late.

When territorial (regional, county) data are examined, the phenomenon may occur that moving towards more and more detailed data, extreme indices are generated in the breakdown of an observation variable due to a decline in the number of reporting units.
