The regional tourism secretary, Francesc Colomer, explained that the forecasts show that “there is dynamism in the sector, although we are always conservative and prudent when it comes to offering figures, since our goal is to achieve the recovery of tourism in the medium term during this year, and not only during the summer season”. In addition, he noted that “more than ever we move with data that is very sensitive, especially because the tourist, more and more, makes their travel decisions at the last minute“.
The survey data shows that hotels on the coast of Castellón expect to reach 53.41% occupancy, 2.3% more than last year whilst the coast of Valencia expects to a hotel occupancy rate of 83.84%, 24.2% more than in July 2021.
