In comparison, the website identified 1211 non-USA properties for the ROW. If you're again keeping mental totals, 4112 + 1211 = 5323 > 5220. In the data I show below, the ROW numbers total to 1173 instead - so there's a bunch of double booking but that puts us closer (4112 + 1173 = 5285) to the returned total of 5220.

Hotel Types and Activities Offered (2018):
A lot more hotels were willing to identify themselves as extended stay than anything else - and given that the numbers below total to 1803 - there's a lot of anything else. That being said, how new does a hotel have to be to be considered a "New Hotel"?
Code:
hotel type #
----------------------+-----
Convention center 7
Extended stay 1174
New Hotel 334
Resort 223
Timeshare 65
Apparently, lots of family travel is involved, a bunch of spas along with tennis and beaches. Additionally, where are these "casinos"?

Personally, I like golf. But, perhaps that's just me.
