Dataset card
This dataset tracks monthly hotel room occupancy rates in Mauritius from 2019 to 2023, sourced from MDPA and republished by Electric Sheep Africa as an ML-ready Parquet file on Hugging Face. It is a small time series of 60 rows intended for tabular regression and forecasting work.
What this dataset contains
The dataset covers a single tourism indicator, the monthly hotel room occupancy rate, for Mauritius across a five-year window. The 60 rows are organised by year and month, allowing observation of both seasonal and pandemic-era demand patterns in the Mauritian hotel sector. Source attribution is captured through columns such as source_provider (MDPA), source_dataset, and source_url.
Structure and fields
Each row includes indicator_id, country_iso3 (MU), year, dimension_month, and value, the occupancy measurement stored as a float. Supporting provenance fields include source_period_start_year, source_period_end_year, source_period_label, source_resource_id, source_package_id, license_id, and retrieved_at. The dataset is delivered as a single 'train' split of 60 rows under a CC BY 4.0 license.
How analysts use it
Analysts can pivot on year and indicator_id to build a month-by-month occupancy matrix, or filter by country_iso3 to isolate the Mauritius series for benchmarking against regional peers. The year, dimension_month, and value fields make it suitable for time-series forecasting of tourism demand and recovery trajectories. Investment funds covering African hospitality, airlines, or Mauritius-exposed equities could use the trend to validate or stress-test proprietary tourism demand models.
