Overnights spent at tourism accommodation establishments (residents and non-residents) Nights spent by residents and non-residents at tourist accommodation establishments by NUTS 2 level. A night spent (or overnight stay) is each night a guest / tourist (resident or non-resident) actually spends (sleeps or stays) in a tourist accommodation establishment or non-rented accommodation. Overnight stays are calculated by country of residence of the guest and by month. Normally the date of arrival is different from the date of departure but persons arriving after midnight and leaving on the same day are included in overnight stays. A person should not be registered in two or more accommodation establishments at the same time.
Draft
Carried passengers per airport The map shows all European aiports with more than 1 million of passengers per year (2013) (a) the number of carried passengers and (b) the relative difference of air passengers between 2009 and 2013. The size of circles represents the number of carried passengers, while the colour of the circle indicates whether ther was high/low decrease or increase of passengers numbers between 2009 and 2013.

Draft
Number of bed places per 100 inhabitants in coastal areas The indicator presents the tourism intensity as number of bed places per 100 inhabitants in coastal areas by NUTS2. The number of bed places in an establishment or dwelling is determined by the number of persons who can stay overnight in the beds set up in the establishment (dwelling), ignoring any extra beds that may be set up by customer request. The term bed place applies to a single bed, double beds are counted as two bed places. The unit serves to measure the capacity of any type of accommodation. A bed place is also a place on a pitch or in a boat on a mooring to accommodate one person. One camping pitch should equal four bed places if the actual number of bed places is not known. Coastal areas are defined on the basis of the local administrative units or municipalities (LAU-2) and consist of those municipalities (or equivalent local administrative units) within a given country or NUTS 2 region that are bordering the sea or close to the sea: if a municipality borders the sea, it is by default coastal; if a municipality is not bordering the sea but has 50% of its surface within a distance of 10km from the sea, it is also considered coastal; All other municipalities are non-coastal.
Draft
Total number of tourist arrivals Total number of tourism arrivals (domestic and international) at tourist accommodation establishments by NUTS 2 level. An arrival is defined as a person (tourist) who arrives at a tourist accommodation establishment and checks in or arrives at non-rented accommodation. But in the scope of the Regulation concerning European statistics on tourism, this variable is not collected for the latter type of accommodation. No age limit is applied: children are counted as well as adults, even in the case when the overnight stays of children might be free of charge. Arrivals are registered by country of residence of the guest and by month. The arrivals of same-day visitors spending only a few hours during the day (no overnight stay, the date of arrival and departure are the same) at the establishment are excluded from accommodation statistics.
Draft

Data from Serbia, Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina and, Switzerland is reported at NUTS 0.

Share of overnights spent at tourism accommodation establishments by non-residents Percentage of nights spent by non-residents at tourist accommodation establishments by NUTS 2 level. A night spent (or overnight stay) is each night a guest / tourist (resident or non-resident) actually spends (sleeps or stays) in a tourist accommodation establishment or non-rented accommodation. Overnight stays are calculated by country of residence of the guest and by month. Normally the date of arrival is different from the date of departure but persons arriving after midnight and leaving on the same day are included in overnight stays. A person should not be registered in two or more accommodation establishments at the same time. A person is considered to be a resident in a country (place) if the person: - has lived for most of the past year or 12 months in that country (place), or - has lived in that country (place) for a shorter period and intends to return within 12 months to live in that country (place). International tourists should be classified according to their country of residence, not according to their citizenship. From a tourism standpoint any person who moves to another country (place) and intends to stay there for more than one year is immediately assimilated with other residents of that country (place). Citizens residing abroad who return to their country of citizenship on a temporary visit are included with non-resident visitors. Citizenship is indicated in the person's passport (or other identification document), while country of residence has to be determined by means of question or inferred e.g. from the person's address.

Occupancy rate The occupancy rate of bed places in reference period is obtained by dividing the total number of overnight stays by the number of the bed places on offer (excluding extra beds) and the number of days when the bed places are actually available for use (net of seasonal closures and other temporary closures for decoration, by police order, etc.). The result is multiplied by 100 to express the occupancy rate as a percentage.

Attractiveness of regions by percentage of area covered by hot spots In order the better capture the attractiveness, an indicator on hot spots have been applied. Hot spots are areas with significant higher concentration of pictures compared with the rest of the region and have also a significant spatial aggregation. It should be noted that the hot spot has a spatial extent, i.e. there is a high probability that people move inside the hot spot (in other words the same person will take pictures from different places inside the the hot spot). This also makes a difference with areas outside hot spots, there can still be a relatively high number of points where pictures are taken, but these points are not spatially clustered. Two type of hot spots have been identified: hot spots in rural areas and hot spots in urban areas.

Proportion of high provision easily accessible areas in the recreation opportunity spectrum The map shows the Recreation potential index (RPI), which corresponds to the ecosystem function. It is a ranking of the potential recreation provision in the EU, independently whether such potential is or can be used. Ecosystems highly impacted by human activities (i.e. intensive agriculture) have the lowest score, while natural and semi-natural vegetation, protected areas and lake-sides have the highest score since they either are characterized by a high degree of naturalness, or provide specific opportunities for recreation (areas of outstanding natural value), or exert specific attraction (i.e. water bodies).
