Analysis Calculations

Analysis Calculations

The Analysis of Data Forms creates a set of occupancy rates (Results) by accumulating a set of totals from all Data Forms in the Analytical Sample for the selected Sector, Year and Month.
Results are created for Overall (whole week), Weekday and Weekend (see note)
The calculations for each sector are defined below.
UK refers to guest from the UK (or national area), Overseas refers to guest from overseas.

All Sectors

  1. Returns = Total number of returned data forms, closed or not.
  2. Sample = Total number of data forms not marked as Closed
  3. Closed = Total number of data forms marked as Closed

Serviced Accommodation

  1. Net Room Occupancy = Total Rooms Occupied / Total Rooms Available * 100

  3. Gross Bedspace Occupancy = Net Bedspace Occupancy * Adjustment A * Adjustment B - see Gross Bedspace Occupancy
  4. Net Bedspace Occupancy (UK) = Total UK Stays / Total Bedspace Available * 100 (see note)
  5. Net Bedspace Occupancy (Overseas) = Total Overseas Stays / Total Bedspace * 100 Available (see note)
  6. Percentage Bednights (UK) = Total UK Stays / Total Stays * 100
  7. Percentage Bednights (Overseas) = Total Overseas Stays / Total Stays * 100
  8. Percentage UK Guests = Total UK Arrivals / Total Arrivals * 100
  9. Percentage Overseas Guests = Total Overseas Arrivals / Total Arrivals * 100

Notes

Because providing data split by UK/Overseas is optional, the UK and Overseas occupancy rates are calculated only on those forms where this data has been provided so will be a smaller sample size than the overall occupancy rates.
Business occupancy rates are calculated using totals where business stays have been provided.
Revenue results are calculated using totals where monthly revenue has been provided.
For the purposes of the surveys, Weekday is defined as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Weekend is therefore Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
