- The survey is commissioned by VisitScotland. It's carried out by the research agency, The Moffat Centre for Travel and Tourism Business Development.
- The monthly report compares the latest available month with that of the same month in the previous year.
- Analysis is provided by bed occupancy, location and star rating.
- Each monthly report is published two months after the month in question to allow for data collection and analysis.
