Methodology

Source of information about visitor rate in collective accommodation establishments and congress tourism is the regular research by CZSO, which since 2003 includes full scope of collective accommodation establishments. Research is divided into monthly survey based on hotels and similar collective establishments

and quarterly research containing remaining accommodation facilities.

Information on guests is a summary of processed data for submitted questionnaires and data statistically calculated for accommodation

facilities, from which the completed questionnaire was not obtained.

Information about the number of congresses/conferences and the number of participants is a summary of data from processed

questionnaires. The number of facilities includes all collective accommodation establishments, which during the reference period have recorded at least one event with 100 and more participants.
