Note: Where figures were cited in local currency the exchange rate on 1 November 2006 was used for
conversion. Some of the enterprises had more than one type of room, with more than one price scale, which

The occupancy levels at the CBTEs were relatively low, with the majority of
enterprises ranging between 11 and 500 visitors over the previous year (60.9 per
cent). On average, the enterprises had 884.8 visitors, ranging from none to
32,000. One fact of concern, was that 14 enterprises could not say how many
people had stayed during that period, and 33 could not report the number of day
visitors, indicating poor levels of record keeping (Figure 13.2). Most of the enter-
prises reported that visitors stayed for 2 nights (40.4 per cent of CBTEs), with an
average of 3.9 nights reported.
The CBTEs were asked to indicate the most important limitations they faced
in developing their tourism businesses. The most frequently cited limitation was
