It is no longer a luxury, and not only limited to the aspects of entertainment and travel. Out of all, the state has adopted the development of the tourism industry in the Kingdom as a strategic option and endorsed the General Strategy for the Development of National Tourism in the Kingdom for a period of twenty years, and assigned to the Saudi Commission of Tourism and Antiquities the implementation of this strategy in order to make tourism in the Kingdom a reality and a vital productive and influential sector in the national economy. In spite of the many and varied tourist activities services, the services of accommodation are important elements in this industry if not the most, over which the SCTA -after the issuance of its new structure- undertake the tasks of supervision and the practice of licensing, classification and follow-up to the quality and level of service provided therein. The correct information and precise statistical data for these services play an important role in the implementation of tourism development plans in this aspect. The report (accommodation sector statistics for the year 2011) issued from the Centre for Tourism Information and Research (MAS) of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities deals with information and disaggregated statistical data on the providers of accommodation services in various regions of the Kingdom; including hotels, furnished apartments, homes for students, and youth hostels. I am pleased to present to you this report, hoping to contribute in the preparation of studies and specialized researches aimed at developing this sector in particular and tourism industry in general, and to achieve the objectives of the comprehensive national development plans of the state.

The MAS Center makes estimates of occupancy rate of the licensed accommodation only, since these estimates reflect the occupancy rate of accommodation establishments, but they do not reflect the real situation for a number of rooms and beds occupied until the complete classification of hotels and furnished residential units in the Kingdom is available. 3-2 The Population in the Estimates The Center is using disaggregated data for the accommodation facilities only, and the volume of the study Population in the estimates of occupancy rate for all accommodation establishments licensed by the Department of Licensing and Quality in 2011 and of the number (951) hotels, and (2,026) furnished apartments units were distributed in (13) regions in the Kingdom. 3-3 Estimate Steps Clarify the procedure appreciation as follows: 1.

Extract the growth rate between 2009 m / 2010 to tourist accommodation facilities from the data available from previous surveys, which included rates of growth in the number of occupied rooms and family as well as the number of inmates by region. 3. Based on this growth occupancy rate for the year 2011 were extracted The data on the number of rooms and beds were available in the survey in 2010. 4.

Saudi Commission for Tourism & Antiquities 18 Tourism Information and Research Centre 3 - Methodology Estimates the Occupancy Rate Accommodation Statistics 2011 3-4 Equations Rooms occupancy rates = rooms rented during the month ÷ number of rooms available in that month. Rooms rented during the month = account of every room that has been rented for how many nights and then gather nights for the entire month. Number of rooms available in this month= the total number of all the hotel's rooms except for rooms closed for maintenance or can't be used for any other reason. Percentage of beds' occupancy = number of nights rented during the month (sum of Saudis and non- Saudis) ÷ number of available beds. Number of nights rented during the month = sold nights are counted for each guest; if a guest has rented a room for ten nights, so they are ten rented nights. Number of available beds in this month = all available beds are counted except for those beds under maintenance or can't be used for any other reason. Average number of people for each room = number of rented rooms during the month (sum of Saudis and non-Saudis) Divided by the rented rooms during the month. Average residence duration (Saudis) = number of rented rooms in the month (Saudis) ÷ total number of Saudi guests during the whole month. Average residence duration (Non Saudis) = number of rented rooms in the month (Non www.mas.gov.sa Saudis) ÷ total number of Non Saudi guests during the whole month. 19 Accommodation Statistics 2011 4 - HOTEL STATISTICS 4-1 Distribution of Hotels by Region & Grade The majority of the classified hotels as per new classification (by stars) was concentrated in Makkah, accounting for (54.8%) of the total kingdom's hotels (951), followed by Al Madinah Al Munawwarah region at (16.7%) and Eastern at (9.5%).
