In 2023, EU tourist accommodation establishments witnessed an unprecedented surge in overnight stays, reaching a record of almost 3 billion nights. This reflects a substantial increase of 6.3%, equivalent to 171 million additional nights, compared to 2022. The latest Eurostat data reveals that the 2023 figures not only surpassed those of 2022 but also exceeded the pre-pandemic levels of 2019 by 1.6%.
International tourists played a significant role, contributing to 46% of the total 2.9 billion nights spent in 2023. After three years of a substantially lower share of foreign tourists, this resurgence to pre-pandemic levels signifies a positive trend for the EU’s tourism industry.
