The most important information from the survey is offered monthly, in accordance with the dissemination regulations of the INE. The data provided give notice of the two aspects considered when analysing tourist trends: with regards to demand, there is information on travellers, overnight stays and average stay residence of travellers by autonomous community of origin in the case of Spanish travellers; in terms of supply, the information includes the estimated number of establishments open for the season, estimated number of bedplaces, estimated number of bedrooms, occupancy rate and information on employment in the sector. This information is presented monthly on a national basis as well as by autonomous communities, provinces, areas and sites with the highest number of overnight stays. The National Statistics Institute thanks all professionals, businesspersons and institutions related to the tourist sector, for the collaboration provided that has been essential when carrying out this survey. INE. National Statistics Institute 3 2. Objectives The main objective of the Tourist Accommodation Occupancy Survey (Rural Tourism Accommodations) is to ascertain the behaviour of a series of variables which allow us to describe the basic characteristics of this type of accomodation within the tourist sector, both from a supply and demand points of view, so that the need for knowledge regarding this sector by national organisations and the requirements of international organisations are thus addressed. INE. National Statistics Institute 4 3. Statistical unit These are all Rural Tourism Accommodation Establishments, registered as such in the corresponding register from each Autonomous Community, in accordance with the definitions which for said accommodations appear in the different Autonomous Community regulations. Rural Tourism Accomodation Establishments are those establishments or dwellings destined for tourist lodging in exchange for a price with or without any other complementary services which are registered in the corresponding Register of each Autonomous Community. These establishments usually present a determined set of characteristics: a) They are located in a rural environment. b) They are constructions with a common architectonic style that is characteristic of the area or which are located in land properties which maintain active livestock and farming operations (agrotourism). c) They offer a limited number of vacancies and rooms for theaccomodation of guests and comply with certain infrastructure and basic services requirements. Rural tourism accommodation establishments may adopt one of these two rent modalities, or both: - the complete-use rent modality is described as the complete hiring of the property for the exclusive use of the contractor, - the shared-use rent modality is defined as the individualised hiring of bedrooms within the family dwelling itself. INE. National Statistics Institute 5 4. Scope of the Survey All establishments and/or companies operating in the country are researched. With the exception of Ceuta and Melilla, where there are no establishments of this type. INE. National Statistics Institute 6 5. .Definition of Variables 5.1 Estimated open rural tourism housing accomodations. Number of seasonally opened rural tourism accomodation estimated by the survey. Seasonally opened rural tourism accomodation are those where the month of reference is included within their opening period. 5.2 Estimated capacity of a Rural Tourism accommodation Estimated capacity by the survey on seasonally opened rural tourism accomodations The bedplaces of a rural tourism accommodation establishment are understood to be the number of fixed beds available in it; extra beds therefore are not included and double beds equal two bed-places 5.3 Traveller All persons who stay one or more consecutive nights in the same accommodation. Travellers are classified by their place of residence. In the case of Spaniards, information is requested on the Autonomous Community of origin. 5.4 Overnight stay An overnight stay is understood to be each night that a traveller stays in the rural tourism establishment. For example, a married couple with an offspring in a supletory bed, will be counted as an occupied room and three overnight stays or occupied beds. 5.5 Average Stay This variable is an approximation of the number of days which, on average, travellers stay at the rural tourism accommodation and is calculated as the quotient between overnight stays and the number of travellers. 5.6 Occupancy rate by bed-places Percentage-based relation between the number of overnight stays and the capacity by the days the overnight stays refer to plus the number of supplementary beds used. It can be deduced from this definition that an rural tourist accomodation may have a degree of occupation of less than 100% and however not have any vacancies, as an accomodation or a room or double-bed may be occupied only by a person being accounted for as an overnight stay. However, the apartment may have a greater capacity. 5.7 Level of occupation by weekend capacity Relationship, as a percentage, between the total number of overnight stays and the product of the bedplaces, by the two days to which the overnight stays refer (Friday and Saturday), including supplementary beds. INE. National Statistics Institute 7 It can be deduced from this definition that an rural tourist accomodation may have a degree of occupation of less than 100% and however not have any vacancies, as an accomodation or a room or double-bed may be occupied only by a person being accounted for as an overnight stay. However, the apartment may have a greater capacity. 5.8 Supplementary beds Supplementary beds are those that do not have a fixed nature and are not included in the bed-places declared officially by the establishment but do appear in the directory. Furniture installed permanently in the rural tourism accomodation (sofa bed, foldaway bed, etc.) is only considered a supplementary bed when used as such. Cots will also be considered as extra beds. 5.9 Level of occupancy by rooms It is the relationship, the percentage, between the daily average number of rooms and the total number of rooms of the sample in the same period. 5.10 Occupied personnel Defined as the group of people, remunerated and not remunerated, who contribute with their work to the production of goods and services during the reference period of the survey, even when they work outside the premises. 5.11 Tourist site Municipality where the concentration of tourist amenities is significant. 5.12 Tourist area Group of municipalities where tourist inflow is specifically located.
