Accommodation Used - Domestic Visitors 2016

This data is drawn from the Great Britain Tourism Survey, a national consumer survey measuring the volume and value of domestic overnight tourism trips taken by residents in Great Britain. 

Hotel/motel is the most popular accommodation type with domestic visitors at 40%, and 28% of domestic visitors choose to stay at their own home, at a friend's home or a relative's home. Please note, due to rounding, the pie-chart does not add to 100%.

The regional figures are, on the whole, similar to the Scottish picture, with the exception of hotel/motel which takes a significantly higher share of the accommodation market than Scotland as a whole.
