Thank you for your query regarding workplace data on the hotel sector.
You can request an ad-hoc analysis and bespoke tables be produced to give this detailed information from our Social Surveys Division. Information on how to make such a request is given on our website. As explained on the website, such ad-hoc analysis requests may incur a charge and may be subject to legal frameworks and disclosure controls.

We do produce a detailed industry analysis at a local level from an alternative source called the Business Register and Employment Survey. This data is also available on Nomis. Whilst this source will give you detailed industry information, based on the workplace of the business, the survey does not have any information on the occupation of the employees within the industry.
As this information is already available to you via this route, we consider that s21(1) applies to this request and the information does not have to be supplied under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. S21(1) is an absolute exemption and no consideration of the public interest test needs to be applied.
