The data for March, marked by Holy Week, are not entirely comparable to those of 2023, as the holiday was celebrated in different months. It is recommended to wait for the results of April for a joint analysis.
Without a doubt, the non-hotel tourist accommodation sector is booming, driven by both domestic and international demand.
