1.1. DEFINITIONS OF TOURIST ACCOMMODATION ESTABLISHMENTS AND DWELLINGS

Tourist accommodation

1.1.1. Collective tourist accommodation establishments

Treatment of combinations of accommodation types in one establishment

In reality we often find more than one accommodation type in an establishment. Possible solutions to the problem are to:

(i)

split up the establishment into two (or more) establishments. This is the best solution if the establishment is able (and willing) to do so;

(ii)

disregard the second accommodation type if its capacity is less than the specified minimum threshold of the country;

(iii)

classify according to the main type. The main type may be determined by capacity (most often) or by use of capacity (or other criterion).
