At 31 December 2002 there were slightly less than 196,500 rooms available in hotels, motels, guest houses and serviced apartments having 15 or more rooms or units (table 21.18). This represents a small decrease (1%) in total available accommodation capacity when compared with that at 31 December 2001 and reverses a trend of small annual increases in guest rooms available for accommodation. The increase in serviced apartments guest rooms (221 guest rooms) that occurred in 2002, was more than offset by declines in licensed hotels capacity (1,058 guest rooms) and that of motels and guest houses with facilities (865 guest rooms).
Gross takings from hotels, motels, guest houses and serviced apartments with 15 or more rooms or units increased 2% in 2002 (table 21.18). Although gross takings from tourist accommodation in 2002 recovered somewhat from the level of 2001, if allowance is made for price increases, the annual growth in takings remained flat. Gross takings from serviced apartments increased 8% in 2002 compared to 2001. Takings from motels also rose (2%) while takings from licensed hotels fell slightly (-0.2%).
