What about occupancy rate?

Individual Airbnb hosts can see their own occupancy rate in their own dashboard, but ONS doesn't publish a public, area-level occupancy percentage for short-term lets. Stays per 1,000 residents is the closest available public proxy for how active the short-term let market is in Dover — a higher number means more guest demand moving through the area's listings, which is a reasonable stand-in for likely occupancy even though it isn't the same measurement.

About this data

Source: ONS experimental statistics on short-term lets, derived from Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia Group data. Published roughly twice a year, not monthly, so treat this as a slower-moving structural signal.
