You can use derived tables, e.g.
SELECT cust.Customer_id, cust.Customer_name, v.visit_date,;
v.location_id, v.Visits_id;
FROM ;
hpmg!Customer cust ;
INNER JOIN hpmg!Visits v ;
ON cust.Customer_id = v.Customer_id;
inner join (select Customer_id, visit_date, location_id ;
from  hpmg!Visits ;
WHERE visit_date between  ?StartOfTheYear and ?EndOfTheYear ;
GROUP BY Customer_id, visit_date, location_id ;
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ) as MultipleVisits ON v.Customer_id = MultipleVisits.Customer_ID ;
AND v.visit_date = MultipleVisits.visit_date and v.Location_id = MultipleVisits.Location_id;
WHERE v.visit_date between  ?StartOfTheYear and ?EndOfTheYear 
I also suggest to use date column as is if you have index on date column and not on year(date) (In the latter case use your original where).

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
