Lineage The locations of accommodation sites were collected mostly from OpenStreetMap and Google Maps. Number of bedrooms was collected from various available websites including: tripadvisor, vrbo, airbnb and websites of the properties if available. Coastline line layer was divided into 500 m lenght parts. Capacity of tourist accommodation was calculated as a sum of number of beds available inside 500 m buffer around each part of the coastline. The 500 m distance from the coastline was considered as a walking distance to the beach / coast.
