What this measures

Nights spent by residents and non-residents in hotels, holiday and other short-stay accommodation, and camping grounds. Each night a guest stays counts once, so this is not the number of visitors.

Population covered: Guests in tourist accommodation establishments

Guest nights are not unique visitors.
