How this measure is built
- Definition
- The percentage change in nights spent by international tourists compared with the same period one year earlier.
- Measure
- One slice of Nights spent in tourist accommodation ( form: growth, segment: international visitors ) . Total number of nights spent by guests in tourist accommodation establishments. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its quote before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
