9 Star grade classifications of establishments are continuously revised by AAA Tourism

Pty Ltd. This should be taken into account when making comparisons over time. Any

queries regarding the star grading process should be directed to AAA Tourism Pty Ltd on

(03) 8601 2200 or email <[email protected]>.

10 Data by star grade for states and territories are included in the data cubes that

accompany this publication: Tourist Accommodation, Small Area Data (cat. no.

8635.0.55.002 for national data and cat. no. 8635.1.55.001 – 8635.8.55.001 for

state/territory data).

8 From 1 July 2000, takings from accommodation include gross revenue from the

provision of accommodation, including GST. Takings from meals are excluded. Where

businesses are unable to provide the data inclusive of GST, it is automatically adjusted by

the ABS prior to aggregation and release in output.

7 The main source of coverage is from the Australian Automobile Association through

AAA Tourism Pty Ltd. This is supplemented by notification of new tourism developments

and their likely opening dates in selected guides, major tourism journals and periodicals

and newspapers. Periodic comparison with lists of accommodation establishments

provided by the various tourism organisations and industry associations is also

undertaken.

2 From March quarter 2005, the scope of the STA comprises the following categories of

establishments:



! serviced apartments with 5 or more units




3 With the exception of caravan parks, these establishments provide predominantly

short-term non-residential accommodation, i.e. accommodation which is not leased, and

which is provided to guests who would generally stay for periods of less than two

months. Some of these establishments also provide long-term residential

accommodation. The amount of such activity is considered to be insignificant and is

included in the data presented in this publication.

4 Caravan parks provide either short-term or long-term accommodation. If a caravan

park has the majority of sites occupied by paying guests who have stayed continuously

for two months or more during the survey period, the caravan park is classified as

long-term. Data for caravan parks are presented by short-term and long-term in this

publication.

5 Previous to March quarter 2005, the scope of the STA comprised:



! serviced apartments with 15 or more units.

6 For the four quarters of 2000 and 2003, the scope of the STA was expanded to

include:

15 The survey does not have a sample component and the data are not subject to

sampling variability. However, other inaccuracies collectively referred to as non-sampling

error may affect the data. These non-sampling errors may arise from a number of

sources, including:

! errors in the reporting of data by providers

! errors in the process of capturing data

! imputation for missing data

! definition and classification errors

! incomplete coverage.

16 Every effort has been made to reduce non-sampling error to a minimum by careful

design and testing of questionnaires, and efficient operating procedures and systems

used to compile statistics.

11 Small area statistics for 2009 are classified to the Australian Standard Geographical

Classification (ASGC), 2008 Edition (cat. no. 1216.0). Data are coded to the statistical

local area (SLA) level.

12 These SLA data are aggregated to tourism regions as defined by relevant state and

territory tourism organisations. Tourism regions are reviewed annually and are subject to

boundary and name changes. Where changes have occurred care should be taken when

making comparisons with previously published data at this level.

13 Data by tourism regions are no longer presented in this publication. Small area data

are provided in the data cubes that accompany this publication: Tourist Accommodation,

IMPUTAT ION RATES, NIGHTS OCCUPIED (a)

19 The imputation rates for Australia for the most recent quarters are shown below:Imputat ion rates continued



26 Under the Census and Statistics Act, when releasing statistics the ABS is required to

do this in a manner that is "not likely" (in a legal sense) to enable the identification of a

particular person or organisation. A number of techniques are used to do this, including

suppression of information. To ensure provider confidentiality in the Survey of Tourist

Accommodation, the ABS uses a computerised process known as Disclosure Avoidance

Analysis System (DAAS) to confidentialise the entire tourist accommodation dataset each

quarter. This process not only ensures that data are suppressed to ensure individual

establishments cannot be identified, but also suppresses data in other (consequential)

cells to ensure data cannot be derived through deduction from the information available.

CO N F I D E N T I A L I S A T I O N OF

DA T A

24 Smoothing the seasonally adjusted series reduces the impact of the irregular

component of the seasonally adjusted series and creates the trend estimates. The trend

estimates are derived by applying a 7-term Henderson moving average to the quarterly

seasonally adjusted series. The Henderson moving average used in the middle of the

time series is symmetric but, as the end of a time series is approached, asymmetric forms

of the symmetric moving average are applied. Unlike the weights of the standard 7-term

Henderson moving average, the weights used with the quarterly data have been tailored

to suit the particular characteristics of individual series.

25 While these techniques enable trend estimates for the latest period to be produced,

the process does result in revisions to the trend estimates in recent quarters, particularly

as additional original estimates become available. For further information refer to

Information Paper: A Guide to Interpreting Time Series - Monitoring Trends, 2003 (cat.

no. 1349.0) available at the ABS web site <www.abs.gov.au>.

TR E N D ES T I M A T E S

20 Seasonal adjustment is a means of removing the estimated effects of normal

seasonal variation from the original time series so that the effect of other influences on

the series may be more clearly recognised. Seasonal adjustment procedures do not aim

to remove the irregular or non-seasonal influences which may be present in any

particular quarter. Irregular influences that are highly volatile can make it difficult to

interpret the movement of the series even after adjustment for seasonal variation, and

cannot be assumed to indicate changes in the trend.

21 The seasonally adjusted estimates in this publication have been produced using a

concurrent methodology whereby the seasonal factors are revised each month to take

into account the seasonality exhibited by the latest observation. A more detailed review

is conducted annually.

22 From the March quarter 2008, the Survey of Tourist Accommodation collection

implemented Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) modelling techniques

for the majority of applicable time series. The revision properties of the seasonally

adjusted and trend estimates can be improved by the use of ARIMA modelling. ARIMA

modelling relies on the characteristics of the series being analysed to project future

period data. The projected values are temporary, intermediate values, that are only used

internally to improve the estimation of the seasonal factors. The projected data do not

affect the original estimates and are discarded at the end of the seasonal adjustment

process.

23 For more information on the details of ARIMA modelling see the feature article 'Use

of ARIMA modelling to reduce revisions' in the October 2004 issue of Australian

Economic Indicators (cat. no. 1350.0). Any queries regarding the ARIMA modelling

should be directed to Time Series Analysis on (02) 6252 6345 or email

33 Where figures have been rounded, discrepancies may occur between totals and the

sum of the component items.

EF F E C T S OF RO U N D I N G

29 The aggregation of data by users across time periods should be undertaken with

caution, due to the possibility of non-inclusion of confidentialised data (see the above

section for more information about confidentialisation). Where one or more cells

contributing to a total have been confidentialised (ie, contains the value of n.p.), the

resulting aggregated total will be incorrect. However, some broader levels of data may

not be affected by confidentialised cells.

30 Where data can be aggregated (ie, no confidentialised cells are included) for

calendar and financial year/s purposes, the data items Establishments, Rooms, Persons

employed and Bed spaces should not be aggregated. For these items it is recommended

that for calendar years, the value of the December quarter is used, and for financial years,

the value of the June quarter is used.

31 Any data items that have been derived from other items collected in the survey

cannot be aggregated (ie, all those with labels ending in 'rate' or commencing with

'average'). These items must be re-derived based on the aggregation of each of the

quarterly items collected in the survey used in the derivation of the rate or average (see

Glossary for formulas).

32 Users are cautioned against deriving any non-standard aggregations (eg,

aggregation of selected star gradings such as 4-star and 5-star; aggregation of selected

geographical areas such as capital city areas and balance of state; aggregation of selected

activities such as hotels and motels combined). This is because data are confidentialised

based on the standard data item structure.

US E R AG G R E G A T I O N OF DA T A

27 While the scope and coverage of the Survey of Tourist Accommodation has been

expanded, priority has been given to maintaining the integrity and continuity of the core

collection (hotels, motels and guest houses, and serviced apartments with 15 or more

rooms). In order to maximise data released from the core collection series and the new

components of the expanded scope collection (hotels, motels and guest houses, and

serviced apartments with 5-14 rooms), the 'total' series (5 or more rooms) has been used

for any consequential confidentiality required where possible.

28 The DAAS process begins by confidentialising at the Statistical Local Area (SLA)

level, then across Tourism regions, then at the state level and finally the national level. If

there is an SLA that has been made confidential then another SLA will have to be made

confidential within that Tourism region to protect the confidentiality of the providers in

the SLA that was originally made confidential. Depending on the number of SLAs in the

Tourism region the whole Tourism region may need to be made confidential. As a

consequence of this, at least one more Tourism region within a state or territory will also

be confidentialised. This may also occur at the state/territory level.

Since 1 July 2000, takings from accommodation include gross revenue from the provisionof accommodation, including GST. Takings from meals are excluded. In cases wheretakings from accommodation data cannot be provided inclusive of GST the amount ofGST payable is estimated and the data revised accordingly.

Takings from accommodation for each month generally represent the takings receivedduring that month. Where payments are received in advance of, or after the provision ofaccommodation to guests, the monthly figure for takings from accommodation may notnecessarily bear a direct relationship to the number of guests accommodated during themonth.

Takings from accommodation

The grading of hotels, motels and guest houses with facilities and serviced apartments isbased on the classification system owned by AAA Tourism Pty Ltd. The gradings areallocated according to a points system based on the amenities and facilities available toguests. Details of the grading scheme are contained in the publication AccommodationGuide published by AAA Tourism Pty Ltd for each of the individual Australian MotoringOrganisations. For the purpose of classifying establishments to a star grading in thispublication, ‘half’ star gradings are ignored (e.g. a two and a half star grading has beenshown as two star).

While coverage has significantly improved, some establishments (including somecompeting in the four and five star markets and having significant takings) still remainoutside the star grading scheme. These establishments have been given a star grading of'ungraded'.
