Data from Tourism Noosa (2016) based on the number of members of the tourism organisation
suggests that there may be a number of accommodation establishments that are not included in
the ABS data (including small operators). There were 112 members of Tourism Noosa which
represents the tourism industry in Noosa Shire (Table 37). However, it is difficult to verify the
accuracy of the Tourism Noosa data as it is based on people registered with Tourism Noosa and
could include operators and owners, and other associated professionals.
