1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Survey Background

This report is designed to give an overview of the performance of the commercial accommodation in South Africa’s North West Province in 2008. It presents the main findings of the North West Parks and Tourism Board’s Room and Bed Occupancy Survey 2009, which assesses patterns of demand for bedrooms and beds in hotels, motels, guesthouses and bed and breakfast accommodation facilities spread across the Province. The information gathered on these accommodation facilities or establishments is one component of the on-going Commercial Accommodation Monitor that commenced in April 2009. In this report, the type of establishments included in this survey are defined as tourist or visitor accommodation which is arranged in rooms where bed-making and cleaning services are provided, including hotels, motels, guesthouses and bed and breakfast accommodation facilities. 1.2 Survey Objective

As stated earlier, the main objective of the Room and Bed Occupancy Survey 2009 is to give an overview of the performance of the commercial accommodation in South Africa’s North West Province in 2008. The report also provides an authoritative set of information on the supply and demand for accommodation within the Province that will be used in decision-making at the provincial level. The survey provides information on capacity, occupancy rates, guest nights, as well as guest nights by usual region. Further, the report provides insights into occupancy rates for both large and small establishments as well as summer, winter, weekdays and weekend occupancy rates, information that was previously unavailable. These factors have a significant role to play in tourism planning and promotion for the Province. Data are disaggregated by the four regions making up of the Province, which also include further regional disaggregation, and by accommodation type. 1.3 Survey Methodology

The Research and Planning Unit of the North West Parks and Tourism conducted a survey of hotels, motels, guesthouses and bed and breakfast establishments is a monthly survey of a panel of establishments located throughout South Africa’s North West Province. In March 2009, those who agreed to participate in the survey received a survey questionnaire which they were asked to complete and return to fieldworkers. The survey questionnaire asked tourism establishment owners and managers to answer series of questions, among others, the number of rooms occupied; and the number of additional bedspaces and rooms used.



The compilation of the information obtained from survey participants is based on a non-weighted average of the number of establishments that were involved in the survey. In that sense, it will be crucial to note that the differing levels of response by types of establishments duri ng analysis were not compensated for. The main measures referred to in this report are bed and room occupancy.

1.3.1 Sample

The sample of accommodation used is drawn from records of all known establishments from the North West Parks and Tourism Board database. As the sample is self-selecting rather than random, it is not possible to calculate margins of error for the occupancy rates. However, because there is a substantial core of survey participants willingly provided the information, the findings are believed to reflect accurately overall state of the commercial accommodation in the Province.

1.3.2 Interview Method

Personal face-to-face interviews of participants method was applied in this survey. More specifically, researchers and fieldworkers gathered the data through direct interviews with the accommodation owners and managers by giving them questionnaires for completion and handing them over while others had to return them some few days after questionnaires had been given to them. Face-to-face interviews are surely the best solution, as they usually ensure a more representative sample and higher response rates.

1.3.3 Recruiting and Training of Fieldworkers

Interviewers or fieldworkers were recruited and trained before deploying them to the field. A part from a general training and some basic skills, it was ensured that the interviewers had special characteristics according to where the survey is carried out – that is at accommodation.

1.4 Survey Coverage

The Room and Bed Occupancy Survey 2009, North West Province, South Africa covers a sample of establishments spread across the four regions of the Province - Bojanala, Dr. Ruth Mompati Region, Ngaka Modiri Molema Region and Dr. Kenneth Kaunda Region. This report presents the main results of the survey, discussing the most important features of the 2009 figures. It is worth noting here that all the occupancy figures presented in this report are net occupancy figures and relate only to open establishments. Therefore, a room occupancy rate of, say, 70 per cent indicates that 70 per cent of the rooms available in open establishments were occupied.

Hotels

These establishments provide suites or guest rooms within a multistory or high rise structure, accessible from the interior only, and they generally offer guests a range of complementary



services and amenities, such as food and beverage services, parking, laundry services, swimming pools and exercise rooms, and conference and convention facilities.

Motels

These establishments are designed to accommodate clients travelling by motor vehicle, and provide short-stay suites or guest rooms, within a one or two story structure, characterized by exterior access to rooms and ample parking areas adjacent to the room entrances. Limited complementary services and amenities may also be provided.

Bed and Breakfast

These establishments provide guest rooms in private homes or in small buildings converted for this use, and they often possess a unique or historic character. Bed and Breakfast homes are characterized by a highly personalized service, and the inclusion in the room rate, of a full breakfast, served by the owner or owner-supervised staff.

Resorts

These establishments feature extensive indoor and/or outdoor leisure activities on the premises on a year-round basis. Resorts are designed to accommodate vacationers and provide full -service suites and guest rooms, typically in a non-urban setting next to lakes, rivers or mountains. Establishments of this type often provide access to conference facilities.

Other Accommodations

These establishments are not classified to any other industry and are primarily engaged in providing short-term lodging. Guest Houses, tourist homes and youth hostels are included in this category. 1.5 Important Terms

Establishment is the smallest statistical unit operating within a single physical location and owned by a single enterprise.

A guest night is equivalent to one guest spending one night at an establishment. For example, an establishment with 15 guests spending two nights would report provision of 30 guest nights of accommodation.

A stay unit is used to describe the unit of accommodation that is available to be charged out to guests, for example, a powered site in a caravan park, a bed in a backpackers, a room in a hotel or motel.

A guest is a person, including a child, who checks into an establishment and spends at least one night there, including persons exempt from payment. A guest who left the hotel and



checked into it again within the same period (even within the same month ) is counted as two guests.

A room refers to a space containing at least one bed intended for guests or tourists. Potential rooms are the number of rooms described above, multiplied by the number of nights an establishment was open during the period of the report.

Room occupancy rates are the total number of rooms occupied, expressed as a percentage of the total number of potential rooms available at establishments during the period of the report.

Beds refer to the permanent beds in the rooms in establishments described above. Double beds are counted as two beds.

Bed occupancy rates refer to the percentage of all bedspaces available at any given time that are occupied by paying guests, expressed as a percentage of the total number of potential nights spent in an establishment.
