and June qtr datasets. Technical Note: The Survey of Tourist Accommodation (STA) frame is based on an electronic file supplied each quarter by AAA Tourism. Since December 2002, AAA Tourism has been more active in maintaining their listing of accommodation establishments on this electronic file. This active maintenance has resulted in a large number of hotels, motels and guest houses and serviced apartments being identified for the first time in both the March quarter 2003 and the June quarter 2003. While these establishments were identified in these quarters, they actually commenced operations prior to these time periods. The number of additional establishments identified within the Victorian sample during the March and June 2003 quarter was 28 in total. (c) Employment numbers exclude real estate agents and their employees (d) Does not include Phillip Island Tourism Region or Lakes Tourism Region
