Spanish Hotel Barometer - Q1 2024

Produced jointly by STR and Cushman & Wakefield, the Hotel Sector Barometer confirms the upsurge in tourism and hotel activity in Spain, with outstanding results across all indicators showing growth over the figures for the first quarter of 2023. Spain’s hotels achieved occupancy of 68.5% between January and March (+4.9% compared to the same quarter in 2023), with average daily rates (ADR) standing at €134.60 (+11.7%) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) of €92.10 (+17.1%). In terms of destinations, the Canaries topped the table for all three indicators. Given that the first three months of the year represent high season for the islands, occupancy understandably reached 84.3%. For their part, ADR hit €171.30 and RevPAR €144.40. These figures represent significant growth over the figures for the first quarter of the preceding year, amounting to 16.7% with respect to ADR and 22.2% in terms of RevPAR. The fact that the Easter holidays fell in March enabled the Canary Islands to add domestic tourism to the usual international visitors that come during the winter months.
