The England Occupancy Survey (EOS) measures, on a monthly basis, levels of bedroom and bedspace occupancy across the serviced accommodation sector – everything from large hotels to small B&Bs and guest houses.

Data is collected from a panel of participating accommodation businesses who submit data each month. Additionally, from June 2010 onwards, the data collected in the VisitEngland survey has been augmented by data supplied by hotel consultancy STR Global.

In the UK, each of the four national tourist boards undertakes its own serviced accommodation occupancy survey. The results from these four surveys are combined to deliver the UK Occupancy Survey (UKOS).

As well as occupancy levels for the country as a whole, results are also available by establishment type, destination type, room size, tariff, and a number of other variables.
