At key times of the year, VisitEngland asks a sample of c. 500 accommodation providers and c. 300 visitor attractions in England to report their performance in the most recent period and their expectations for the coming months. We also include a number of different “hot topic” questions in the survey to collect information about topical issues and any other areas that may affect performance.

All types of accommodation are included in the survey (hotels, guest houses, B&Bs, self-catering, and caravan and campsites), as are a mix of establishment sizes and the region located.

A seperate Accommodation report is produced each wave, and these can be found below.
