Reviews and data updates

INE has today updated the data for January 2023 of the Hotel Occupancy Survey, the Hotel Price Index and the Hotel Sector Profitability Indicators. All results of this operation are available on INEBase.

Methological note

The objective of the Hotels Occupancy Survey (EOH) is to ascertain a series of variables that make it possible to describe the fundamental characteristics of the hotel sector, both from the point of view of supply and demand.

The Hotel Price Index (IPH) is a statistical measure of the monthly evolution of prices applied to clients that hotel entrepreneurs apply to their customers.

The objective of the Indicators of Profitability of the Hotel Sector (IRSH) is to facilitate decision-making in the hotel sector. These are the Average Daily Rate (ADR), which collects the average daily income per occupied room, and the Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR), which collects the average daily revenue per available room.

Type of operation:: monthly continuous survey.
Population scope:: all hotel establishments.
Geographical scope:: the entire national territory.
Reference period of the results:: one month.
Reference period of the information:: seven consecutive days of each month, chosen randomly in such a way that, between all the establishments, the entire month is covered.
Sample design:: stratified sampling by province and establishment category, with 4 and 5-gold star categories being exhaustive.
Sample size:: approximately 9,250 establishments in winter and 11,200 in summer.
Collection method:: questionnaire filled in directly by the hotel establishment.

For additional information, you can access the methodologies(EOH, IPH and IRSH) and the standard methodological reports (EOH, IPH and IRSH).
