Occupancy surveys

The monthly occupancy survey provides information on the occupancy rates and rooms and beds sold in Northern Ireland. These data provide indicative monthly occupancy rates and are revised and finalised in the Annual Publication.

The Online Occupancy Survey

From January 2023, the Occupancy Survey moved to an online methodology. In previous years the survey was based on postal and email returns however the new methodology aims to collect data in a more environmentally conscious and user-friendly way.
