Notes:
(1) Nights and revenue figures are reflective of reported hotel data including residents and hoppers
(2) Data reflects only the room inventory that is operable in compliance with COVID protocols and not all available rooms
(3) Data reflects all available room inventory that is not decommissioned permanently or closed for renovation
(4) Establishment Nos and Total Available Rooms is reflective as the actual numbers end of Dec 2021
(5) Occupancy is reflective of the YTD status and hence not directly corresponding to the monthly capacity (rooms available) depicted in the data alongside

Data Interpretation and Definition Reference:
All reported information follows the same methodology as the Tourism Performance report published in Q1-2015. International guests are reflective of overnight tourists to Dubai that are adjusted downward for leakage from Dubai Airport to other emirates (travellers not spending a night in Dubai), residents staying in hotels (noting that all reported hotel information includes this population), hotel hoppers that are defined as travellers checking in/re-checking in within a 48 hour window; and adjusted upwards for travellers entering through other emirates as their first port of entry and those staying with friends and family estimated from DIVS survey data [field surveys conducted by Department of Economy and Tourism].
