Results from the Accommodation Occupancy Survey for 2023 found: - Occupancy rates in every sector were above 2022 levels.
- Guesthouse room occupancy (77%) exceeded 2022 (68%)
- B&B room occupancy (64%) in 2023 was well above 2022 (54%) – but many B&Bs have not reopened.
- Self-catering unit occupancy was 62% in 2023 (compared to 58% in 2022) – this sector recovered faster than others after Covid and so there was less ‘headroom’ to improve significantly on an already good 2022.
- Caravan and campsite pitch occupancy Apr – Sep was 60%, which compares to 56% in 2022 – the poor summer weather did have an impact.
- Hostel bed occupancy (65%) in 2023 was also up on 2022 (59%)
