Methodological note

A hotel establishment provides collective accommodation services and may include supplementary services (hotel, hotel-apartment, motel, hostel, guest house, boarding house, etc.).

A traveller is a person who stays one or more nights in the same hotel establishment.

An overnight stay refers to each night that a traveller stays in the hotel establishment.

The occupancy rate per room is the percentage relationship between the daily average number of occupied rooms and the total number of available rooms in that month.

Monthly data from January 1999 to December 2010 are provisional.
