INTRODUCTION

Chapter 1 of this publication presents results, in respect of the 2000-01 financial year, from an Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) survey of employing businesses in the pubs, taverns and bars industry. These businesses are classified to Class 5720, of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC).

This industry class includes hotels, bars and similar units mainly engaged in selling alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, or in selling alcoholic beverages both for consumption on or off the premises (eg. from bottle shops at such premises). It does not include businesses mainly engaged in the provision of accommodation, retailing alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises, or organisations mainly engaged in operating licensed clubs. Organisations mainly engaged in operating licensed hospitality clubs were included in a separate survey, for which results are shown in Chapter 2 of this publication.

This publication presents data dissected by businesses with gambling facilities and businesses without gambling facilities. Businesses with gambling facilities are those providing either poker/gaming machines, TAB facilities and/or Keno services to patrons.

In order to allow historical comparisons, it has been necessary to revise the 1997-98 data so that the basis for the estimates is consistent with that used for the 2000-01 survey. For more details, see paragraphs 3 to 5 of the Explanatory notes in this publication.

CLUBS (HOSPITALITY)


INTRODUCTION

Chapter 2 of this publication presents results, in respect of the 2000-01 financial year, from an Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) survey of employing organisations in the clubs (hospitality) industry. These organisations are classified to Class 5740, of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC).

This industry class includes organisations mainly engaged in providing hospitality services (drinking facilities, gambling, meals and other hospitality services to members. As such, clubs whose main activity is the provision of sporting services, are not included within the scope of this industry.

As gambling services are an important aspect of the clubs (hospitality) industry, this chapter presents data dissected by clubs with gambling facilities and clubs without gambling facilities. Clubs with gambling facilities are those providing either poker/gaming machines, TAB facilities and/or Keno services to patrons.

In order to allow historical comparisons, it has been necessary to revise the 1997-98 data so that the basis for the estimates is consistent with that used for the 2000-01 survey. For more details, see paragraphs 3 to 5 of the Explanatory Notes in this publication.
