Accommodation

Refers to any facility that regularly provides overnight accommodation to tourists.

Accommodation Type

Accommodation establishments are divided into five types for the purposes of the survey. They follow the New Zealand Accommodation Classification (NZAC) system. Hotel- includes both hotels and resorts. Motel- includes motor inns and motels. Hosted- includes private hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfasts, and holiday farm (farm-stays) accommodation. Backpackers/Hostels. Caravan Parks/Camping Grounds.

Accounts

For each enterprise, sector or the economy as a whole, it is possible to compile a set of accounts comprising: a production account, a generation of income account, an allocation of primary income account, a secondary distribution of income account, a use of income account, a capital account and a financial account. The rest of the world account consists of the external account of goods and services, external account of primary incomes and current transfers, capital account and financial account. The income accounts are linked to the capital account via saving, and to the production account via operating surplus. The financial account is linked to the capital account via net lending. Due to unavailability of information the Central Bureau of Statistics is not able to produce financial accounts.

Acquisition less disposals of non-produced non-financial assets

Non-produced non-financial assets consist of land, other tangible assets that may be used in the production of goods and services and intangible assets. Changes in the value of these assets owned by institutional units resulting from transactions with other institutional units are recorded in the capital account. The changes recorded in the capital account consist of the total value of the assets acquired during the accounting period less the total value of the assets disposed of.

Adjustment for change in net equity of households in pension funds

The reserves of private funded pension schemes are treated in SNA as being collectively owned by the households with claims on the funds. The payment of pension contributions into the funds and the receipts of pensions by pensioners are, therefore, not transfers between different institutional units. They constitute the acquisition and disposal of financial assets. In order to achieve that the balance of the pension contributions over pension receipts does not enter into household saving, it is necessary to add back pension contributions to and subtract pension receipts from, the disposable income of households recorded in the secondary distribution of income accounts in order to get back a figure for saving of households that is the same as what it would have been if pension contributions and pension receipts had not been recorded as current transfers in the secondary distribution of income account.

Adjustment for taxes less subsidies on products

Taxes on products are taxes that are payable per unit of some product when it is produced, delivered, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by its producer. Subsidies on products are subsidies that are payable per unit of a product when it is produced, delivered, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by its producer. Subsidies on products can be considered as negative taxes on products. Taxes less subsidies on products are elements between purchaser values and basic values.

Adjustment for trade and transport margins

Trade and transport margins are elements separating purchaser values of commodities from basic values. Since the output of domestic industries are valued at basic prices and the imports of individual commodities are valued at c.i.f. price, the adjustment for trade and transport services is necessary in order to derive at the supply of commodities at purchasers’ prices.

Age Dependency Rate

The age dependency rate is the ratio between the number of persons aged 0-15 and 65+ and the number of persons aged 15-65 years at the end of the year.
