 Tourism Indicators
An industry and government commitment to more timely tourism indicators has led to the development of a occupancy reporting system that provides monthly statistics along with other key tourism indicators of industry performance. Through the Tourism Industry Act, it is mandatory for all accommodation operators - fixed roof and campgrounds - to file occupancy reports on a monthly basis, for each month they are open. The data compiled through occupancy reporting make it possible for the Tourism PEI to report on occupancy rates (ie. the percentage of unit-nights available that are rented) and as well as the origins of those renting the rooms. Occupancy and origin data provides insight into the performance of the accommodation industry, and helps to identify emerging markets. The information collected is protected under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and will only be used for tourism research and statistics reporting in an aggregate form. You can file your occupancy report on paper or online. The preferred method of filing the report is online. The online reporting feature is available on Slumberland (http://pei.slumberland.ca). The form is also posted on the Department of Tourism website (www.gov.pe.ca/photos/original/OccupancyReturn.pdf). Once completed, the form can be mailed, faxed or hand delivered to Tourism PEI. Options for submitting the form are outlined on the form. TAC is committed to posting this data on a monthly basis for industry reference. Check this page regularly for the latest tourism indicators!
