CLUBS (HOSPITALITY)
PURPOSE
To collect economic data on businesses in the hospitality clubs industry in Australia.
DESCRIPTION
The survey, covering employing business in ANZSIC Class 5740 Clubs (hospitality), is conducted every three years as part of Service Industries Surveys. ANZSIC Class 5740 Clubs (hospitality) consists of organisations mainly providing hospitality services to members. Thus, clubs whose main activity is the provision of sporting services are excluded from this survey, and included in the Sports Industries survey. Data are collected by mail-out questionnaire sent to a sample of employing businesses classified to that ANZSIC class in the ABS business register. The reference period for the survey is the financial year ending immediately prior to the despatch of questionnaires.
