End of Year Analysis

Following the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tourist accommodation sector has observed a moderate growth in registered visitor accommodation. This rejuvenation of the sector has witnessed a high demand for domestic and international stays for short-term accommodation. Many of the properties experienced full occupancy levels, which has resulted in licensing inspections being rescheduled and several re-inspections of properties having to be undertaken. 

Additionally, some establishments have upgraded their facilities due to the increased demand for self-catering accommodation. This has resulted in the re-categorization of some registered properties, e.g. Guest Houses have now been upgraded to Apartments.
