The number of travel accommodations incl. hotels and similar accommodation in Switzerland decreased by 72 establishments (-1.55 percent) in 2021 in comparison to the previous year. In 2021, the number of travel accommodations thereby reached its lowest value in the recent years. According to Eurostat, the local unit is an enterprise or part thereof situated in a geographically identified place. At or from this place economic activity is carried out for which - save for certain exceptions - one or more persons work (even if only part-time) for one and the same enterprise. The accommodation establishment conforms to the definition of local unit as the production unit. This is irrespective of whether the accommodation of tourists is the main or secondary activity. This means that all establishments are classified in the accommodation sector if their capacity exceeds the national minimum even if the major part of turnover may come from restaurant or other services.
Accommodation statistics include variables on capacity in tourist accommodation establishments (number of establishments, number of bedrooms and number of bedplaces) as well as on occupancy in tourist accommodation establishments (nights spent, arrivals and occupancy rates of bed places and - as of 2012 - occupancy rates of bedrooms).
