1. Introduction

This publication presents the results corresponding to the holiday dwellings occupancysurvey.

The most important information from the survey is offered monthly, in agreement withthe Institute's dissemination regulations.

The two sides considered in the tourism study are reflected in the data provided: from thedemand point of view, information is offered on travellers, overnight stays and average staydistributed by country of residence in the case of travellers not resident in Spain and byAutonomous Community in the case of Spanish travellers. From the point of view ofsupply, data is provided on the number of estimated open tourist companies andestablishments, estimated vacancies and apartments, degrees of occupancy, as wellinformation on employment in the sector.

This information is offered monthly on a national, autonomous community and provinciallevel, on the number of overnight stays as well as on the most significant areas and touristsspots.

2. Objectives

The Survey on Occupation's main objective in holiday apartments is to obtain thebehaviour of a series of variables that describe the segment which this type ofaccommodation occupies in the tourist sector, both from the supply as well as thedemand viewpoints.

7

3. Statistical unit

These are all tourist apartment establishments and operating companies,registered as such in the corresponding tourist councils from each AutonomousCommunity in agreement with the definitions of the said accommodation thatfeature in the different Autonomous regulations.

A tourist apartment establishment is understood to be any productive unit whoseexclusive or productive activity is to accommodate tourists, distributed infurnished units (apartments, chalets, villas, bungalows, …).

A tourist apartment (unit) is considered to be a property that is habitually rentedfor occasional guests.

A set of units, in turn, forms a tourist apartment establishment. The establishmentmay be constituted by various blocks.

In some Autonomous Communities the analysis units are holiday apartmentsoperating companies. These are defined as physical or legal persons who usuallydeal with the letting of such apartments, whether or not they are owners of theaccommodation.

4. Survey's scope

All establishments and/or operating companies in the country are investigated.

With the exception of Albacete, Ávila, Burgos, Ciudad Real (up to the month ofOctober), Soria, Valladolid, Zamora, Ceuta and Melilla where there are no establish-ments of this type.

5. Variables definition

5.1Traveller

All persons who stay one or more nights in the same accommodation.

Travellers are classified by their place of residence. In the case of Spaniardsinformation is requested on the Autonomous Community where they come from.

5.2Overnight stay

An overnight stay is understood to be every night that a travellers stays in theapartment.

For example, a couple with a child sleeping on an extra bed will give rise to anoccupied apartment and three overnight stays or occupied vacancies.

5.3Vacancies of an establishment or company operating holiday apart-ments

The number of vacancies is equivalent to the number of fixed beds; extra bedstherefore are not included and double beds will give rise to two vacancies.

5.4Supplementary beds

A supplementary bed is understood to be all those that do not have a fixedposition and are not in the vacancies declared officially and recorded in thedirectory.

The furniture that is found fixed in the apartment (sofa-bed, …) is only accountedfor as a supplementary bed when it is really used as such.

Cots will also be considered as supplementary beds.

5.5Grade of occupation by posts

Relationship as a percentage between the total of overnight stays and the resultof vacancies times the days that overnight stays refer to, including extra beds.

It can be deduced from this definition that an establishment and/or company mayhave a degree of occupation of less than 100% and however not have anyvacancies, as an apartment may be occupied only by a person giving rise to onlyone overnight stay. However, the apartment may have a greater capacity.

12

5.6 Degree of occupation by apartments

This is the relationship between the total of occupied apartments and the result ofavailable apartments times the days which the survey references, as apercentage.

5.7Average Stay

This variable is an approximation of the number of days, on average, thattravellers stay in apartments and it is calculated as the quotient betweenovernight stays and the number of travellers.

5.8Occupied personnel

This is defined as the set of remunerated and non-remunerated persons whocontribute by means of their work, to the production of goods and services duringthe survey reference period, although they may work outside its premises.

6.Surveys framework and sample design

The tourist council directories from Autonomous Communities are used as aframework for the selection of informant units. In them, among other things, thefollowing data appear: corporate name, address, normal opening period, numberof vacancies, number of apartments and category in some cases.

These directories are updated by the INE provincial delegations.

The survey is exhaustive in all provinces, except in Alicante, Baleares, Castellón,Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where a sample is selected.

8. Collection of the information

The query for basic data refers to a fortnight a month, chosen randomly, in such away that the whole month is covered between all establishments and/or companies.

Questionnaires are received from operating establishments or companies in theprovincial delegations of the INE, where they are filtered and data is recorded. They are subsequently sent to the INE central services where a second filtering iscarried out and the tables and observations that are elaborated, which are publishedmonthly according to the dates available in the INE Short-term Statistics AvailabilityCalendar.
