Consumer spending on hotels and other accommodation

Personal consumption expenditures on hotels, motels and other lodging, including housing at schools, by the households and nonprofit institutions serving households resident in the place, in millions of current US dollars. Bureau of Economic Analysis, PCE by state by type of product (table SAPCE3, line 85, Accommodations); the national figure equals the national accounts (NIPA table 2.4.5).

Counted in the state where the traveller lives, not where the hotel is: this measures what residents spend, not hotel revenue in the state. Millions of current US dollars: not adjusted for inflation or for price differences between states (see regional_price_parity). Spending is assigned to the state where the buyer lives, wherever the purchase is made. It includes purchases paid on behalf of households by employers, insurers and government programs, and the spending of nonprofit institutions serving households. Not the same as retail sales, which count store sales where the store is, and not the PCE price index. BEA revises the latest years every September.
