Details on how to take part in our surveys

Occupancy survey

Calling all self-catering and serviced accommodation providers! Would you like to participate in the Visit Wales occupancy survey and receive monthly reports on the performance of your businesses? Being part of the survey will not only benefit your business but it will also boost the sample in your region.

We've been undertaking occupancy surveys for serviced and self-catering accommodation for over 20 years.  Results from these surveys provide valuable information on performance and a range of useful trend data.  The results are used widely by our marketing colleagues and for preparing business plans and developing tourism resources.

Occupancy surveys are completely confidential.  You'll receive confidential individual monthly reports, comparing your results with others in your sector, region and also Wales as a whole.  We also publish detailed monthly analyses on a pan-Wales and regional basis.

If you're an accommodation provider and would like to take part in the survey please contact the tourism research team by e-mail: tourismresearch@wales.gsi.gov.uk .

Participation documents can be found by following the link on the right.

Copies of the latest Wales and regional level monthly summaries and copies of previous annual reports are available on our industry website.

Visits to tourist attractions

The main aim of the annual tourist attractions survey is to report visitor numbers to attractions throughout Wales which helps us to identify current trends. If you're an attractions provider and would like to participate in the survey please contact the tourism research team on by e-mail: tourismresearch@wales.gsi.gov.uk .

The report provides additional comparative analysis on operations, funding, revenue, marketing and human resources according to attraction categories, the four economic regions of Wales, and admission charging policy.

The results of the survey enable you to benchmark your operation both within your own category, within your region and across the sector as a whole.
