3 Preface Commercial Accommodation Monitor: October 2017 Hawke s Bay presents comprehensive and impartial information on short-term commercial accommodation for the Hawke s Bay Regional Tourism Organisation (RTO) area, from the Accommodation Survey. This survey is run by Stats NZ on behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment. The data relates to the areas covered by the following local authorities: Central Hawke s Bay District Hastings District Napier City Wairoa District Comparisons of monthly data with the same month of the previous year need to be treated with caution, as data for one period may be influenced by events for which there is no equivalent in the previous period (eg Chinese New Year, Easter). For further data and commentary, see the monthly Accommodation Survey Hot Off the Press, and the monthly pivot tables with variables by RTO and local authority area both available on the Stats NZ website ( The November 2017 monitor will be released on 23 January Liz MacPherson Government Statistician iii

4 Standards and further information Percentage changes Percentage movements are, in a number of cases, calculated using data of greater precision than that published. This could result in slight variations. Rounding procedures On occasion, figures are rounded to the nearest thousand or some other convenient unit. This may result in a total disagreeing slightly with the total of the individual items as shown in tables. Where figures are rounded the unit is in general expressed in words below the table headings, but where space does not allow this the unit may be shown as (000) for thousands, etc. Source All data is compiled by Stats NZ, except where otherwise stated. Both administrative and survey data has been used in this report. Liability While all care and diligence has been used in processing, analysing and extracting data and information in this report, Stats NZ gives no warranty it is error free and will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the use, directly or indirectly, of information in this report.

19 7 Accommodation Survey technical notes Data source We collect data from accommodation providers or their representatives each month, mostly via a postal survey. Coverage The Accommodation Survey covers most short-term commercial accommodation in New Zealand. The target population for this survey is all accommodation providers with the following characteristics: Excluded: operating on a commercial basis providing mainly short-term (less than one month) accommodation economically significant (generally meaning being GST-registered and having a turnover of at least $30,000 per year) included in class 4400 (accommodation) or class 4520 (pubs, taverns, and bars) in ANZSIC06 (Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification 2006) classified to 'hotels', 'motels', 'backpacker accommodation', or 'holiday parks'. hosted accommodation (such as bed & breakfast establishments) marine vessels (such as cruise ships) private dwellings tramping huts (non-commercial) event-specific accommodation (such as temporary campervan parks) businesses that cease operation or no longer provide short-term commercial accommodation businesses that temporarily shut down (eg for renovations) we remove them from the survey until they re-open. Accommodation type classification The predominant capacity provided by a business determines the accommodation type. For instance, if the business provides both motel and camping ground accommodation, but the majority of its stay units are motel rooms, then we classify it as a motel. We use the New Zealand Accommodation Classification, broadly defined below: hotels (including resorts) motels (including motor inns and serviced apartments) backpacker accommodation (including short-stay hostels) holiday parks (including caravan parks and camping grounds). Confidentiality C symbols are used in the tables where information has been suppressed. We do not release data from individual businesses. 13

20 Changes to survey content Establishments may change the way they operate over time. If they do, they may be reclassified from one accommodation type to another. For example, if a holiday park adds sufficient motel units that it is operating more as a motel than a holiday park, it will be subject to reclassification to the motels accommodation type. This type of change will tend to reduce surveyed guest nights and other figures for holiday parks (because there would be one fewer holiday park) while boosting guest nights and other figures for motels (because there would be one more motel). Guest night and other movements, where the latest month is compared with the same month of the previous year, are affected for 12 months from the time that any reclassification is done. After 12 months, the reclassified establishment will appear in the same accommodation type in both comparison months. Reclassifications of establishments are not the only changes that affect survey content and figures for the Accommodation Survey: When establishments temporarily cease operations, we take them out of the survey until they re-open. These changes affect figures for the number of establishments and available capacity. Businesses that start up, shut down, or move into or out of the short-term commercial accommodation industry also affect survey figures. Survey errors This survey aims for 100 percent coverage of the accommodation businesses in New Zealand (a full census). However, in practice, the overall response rate is usually between 76 and 80 percent. We estimate values for the remaining units based on the characteristics of similar establishments in the same or similar regions. This introduces unknown errors into the estimates, and users of the data should bear this in mind. The size of these unknown errors is difficult to quantify. Other errors include respondent error, and errors in coverage, classification, and processing. Our editing processes identify and remove many errors, but some will likely remain. We cannot quantify the effect of the remaining errors. Comparability Accommodation Survey statistics are not always on the same basis as statistics from other sources. For example, average length of stay in the Accommodation Survey is for all guests (domestic plus international), but in the International Visitor Arrivals to New Zealand reports, it is only for international guests.
