Fit-tielet kwart tal-2023, il-biċċa l-kbira taʼ dawn l-iljieli kienu mgħoddijin fʼlukandi taʼ erbaʼ stilel bi 48.9 fil-mija tal-għadd sħiħ (Tabella nru 2).
Meta mqabbel mal-istess perjodu taʼ sena qabel, it-tul medju ta’ dawn iż-żjajjar fl-istabbilimenti taʼ akkomodazzjoni kollettiva niżel għal 4.9 ljieli (Tabelli nri 2 u 3). L-użu nett taʼ sodod kien taʼ 77.9 fil-mija, żieda taʼ 5.4 punti perċentwali meta mqabbel mal-istess perjodu fl-2022 (Tabella nru 3).
FʼSettembru li għadda, fʼpajjiżna kien hawn 284 stabbiliment taʼ akkomodazzjoni kollettiva li bejniethom kellhom 20,129 kamra tas-sodda u 45,861 sodda (Tabella nru 4).

FʼGħawdex u Kemmuna, il-persuni li qattgħu xi ljieli fi stabbiliment taʼ akkomodazzjoni kollettiva żdiedu bi 30.8 fil-mija sabiex laħqu t-38,839, filwaqt li l-iljieli li għamlu żdiedu bi 22.1 fil-mija sabiex laħqu l-127,488 (Tabelli nri 1 u 2).
Meta mqabbel mal-istess perjodu tas-sena taʼ qabel, it-tul medju taż-żjajjar fʼMalta niżel bʼ0.2 taʼ lejl u kien taʼ 5.0 iljieli. It-tul medju taż-żjajjar kemm fʼMalta kif ukoll fʼGħawdex u Kemmuna nizel bʼ0.2 taʼ lejl u kien 5.0 iljieli u 3.3 iljieli, rispettivament. FʼMalta, l-użu nett taʼ sodod żdied bʼ5.3 punti perċentwali sabiex laħaq it-78.5 fil-mija, filwaqt li dak fʼGħawdex u Kemmuna żdied bi 8.7 punti perċentwali u laħaq il-65.6 fil-mija (Tabella nru 3).

Methodological Notes
1. The objective of the Survey on Collective Accommodation Establishments is to estimate the utilisation rate of bed-places of all active collective accommodation establishments in Malta and Gozo. The variables collected from the survey include:
● Number of residents;
● Number of non-residents;
● Nights spent by residents;
● Nights spent by non-residents;
● Number of room nights sold to non-residents;
● Number of room nights sold to residents;
● Number of bedrooms;
● Number of bed-places;
● Number of days the establishment was closed during the month under review.
The collection of the above variables and the calculation of occupancy levels are in line with Regulation (EU) No. 692/2011.
2. The survey is distributed monthly to all collective accommodation establishments, namely hotels, guesthouses, hostels and tourist villages.
3. Response rates:
| Response rate | 2022 | 2023 |
| July | 88.6% | 92.8% |
| August | 94.4% | 94.5% |
| September | 90.7% | 91.8% |
5. The Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) classification of all accommodation categories is found in Legal Notice 351 of 2012
6. Users are advised that comparisons between non-resident arrivals recorded in the Inbound Tourism survey (Tourstat, demand-side) and the Collective Accommodation survey (Accomstat, supply-side), should be undertaken in the knowledge that discrepancies will be found. These are mainly due to differences in definitions and methodologies. For more details, one can consult Concept 15.4 of the NSO’s metadata file.
7. Definitions:
● Bedroom: a unit formed by one room or group of rooms constituting an indivisible rental whole in an accommodation establishment or dwelling.
● Bed-place: in an establishment, this is determined by the number of persons who can stay overnight in the establishment, not taking into account any extra beds that may be provided to clients on request.
● Residents: Maltese/Gozitan residents who check into/out of a collective accommodation establishment. A person is considered to be a Maltese/Gozitan resident if:
(a) S/he has lived for most of the past 12 months in Malta/Gozo;
(b) S/he has lived in Malta/Gozo for less than 12 months but intends to return within a year to settle here.
● Non-residents: foreigners who do not necessarily follow the definition of a tourist and check into/out of a collective accommodation establishment.
● Total guests: the total number of residents and non-residents.
● Total nights spent: the total number of nights which guests actually spend or are registered to spend in a collective accommodation establishment.
● Net use of bed-places: the net occupancy rate calculated for all active accommodation establishments, net of seasonal closures and other temporary closures. The occupancy of bed-places is calculated by dividing the total nights during the reference period by the number of bed-places and the number of days when the bed-places are actually available for use during the reference period. The result is then multiplied by 100 to express the occupancy rate as a percentage.
● Average length of stay: this is calculated as follows:
● Tourist: a visitor who stays at least one night in collective or private accommodation in the place/country visited.
