Data preview
Dataset card
This dataset provides quarterly hotel room occupancy rates for Mauritius from 2019 to 2023, sourced from MDPA and republished by Electric Sheep Africa as an ML-ready Parquet file on Hugging Face. It contains 20 rows of structured tourism statistics for a single country.
What this dataset contains
The dataset records hotel room occupancy rates in Mauritius at a quarterly cadence across a five-year window. Each row is tied to a specific country (country_iso3 = "MU") and source period, with the original data attributed to MDPA. The scope is limited to all-hotels coverage and does not segment by star rating, region, or hotel type.
Structure and fields
Records are organized in a single training split of 20 rows. Key columns include indicator_id and indicator_name describing the metric, country_iso3 and country_name for geography, year and dimension_year for the quarterly breakdown, and value as a float64 holding the occupancy percentage. Provenance fields such as source_provider, source_dataset, source_resource, source_url, license_id, and retrieved_at accompany each row, along with source_period_start_year, source_period_end_year, and source_period_label.
How analysts use it
Analysts can pivot the long-format table into a year-by-quarter matrix using indicator_id, year, and value to visualize seasonal occupancy trends or model tourism demand. The data can be filtered by country_iso3 to focus solely on Mauritius or combined with other country releases in the same schema for cross-country comparisons. Given the limited 20-row size, use cases are best suited to descriptive trend analysis, time-series forecasting exercises, or benchmarking against broader African hospitality indicators.
