About the report

This census included data from a range of sources, please see the technical appendix below for further detail.

Because the business landscape is constantly changing, not all businesses were listed in the sources we used and it was not always possible to source detailed information about numbers of rooms and bed-spaces.

It is difficult to know the exact size of the sector because there is no compulsory registration scheme for accommodation establishments in the UK. However, we are confident that our census captured the vast majority of accommodation businesses and provided a good estimate of accommodation stock in England.
