Hotel overnight stays in Spain decreased by 0,9 percent year-on-year in June, totaling over 38,6 million according to data published on Friday by the National Statistics Institute (INE). Despite the decline at the start of the summer season, hotel prices rose by 5,6 percent compared to the same period in the previous year.
The drop in June was primarily driven by a 2 percent decrease in travel by non-residents, which occurred despite a 1,5 percent increase in domestic travel.
Despite the contraction in June, Spanish hotel establishments set a semiannual record during the first half of the year, reaching 163,79 million overnight stays and representing a 1,8 percent increase interannually.
