Definition: Private tourist accommodation

Category: Tourism

Private tourist accommodation comprises forms of accommodation that do not conform to the definition of collective tourist accommodation. These provide limited numbers of places for rent or free of charge. The major group "Private tourism accommodation" is subdivided into two minor groups and five unit groups. It is important to distinguish between the minor group "private rental accommodation" and "private non-rental accommodation", as the former generates lodging expenditures and an associated economic impact that the latter does not.
