Accommodation
Clubs, pubs, taverns and bars Along with the accommodation industry, the clubs, pubs, taverns and bars industries are important elements of the tourism and hospitality sector. The clubs industry covers businesses mainly engaged in the provision of hospitality services to members, while the pubs, taverns and bars industry covers businesses which mainly sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises. At 30 June 2001, there were 2,911 organisations in the hospitality clubs industry, a decrease of 8% in the three years since June 1998 (table 21.8). These organisations employed 64,990 persons at 30 June 2001, comprising 34,020 permanent staff and 30,970 casual staff. The major occupations of employees in the hospitality clubs industry were bar managers and bar staff (23,544 persons), catering staff (11,145 persons) and gaming staff and cashiers (10,141 persons). The total income for organisations in the hospitality clubs industry was $6,297m in 2000-01, with gambling income of $3,835m being the main source of income, representing 61% of total industry income. Other major sources of income for the industry were the sale of liquor and other beverages of $1,407m (22% of industry income) and takings from the sale of meals and food of $547m (9% of industry income).

During 1998-99, businesses in the cafes and restaurants industry generated $7,174m in income. Over half of this income (55%) was generated from sales of meals consumed on the premises.
