Meanwhile, tourist apartments recorded 22,937 visitors and 70,165 overnight stays, which is a 4.37% increase in visitors but a 9.52% decrease in overnight stays.
Serrano also highlighted the rise in international tourists, with 124,483 foreign visitors contributing to 285,169 overnight stays in the Pyrenees and Terres de Lleida this summer. He emphasised that “the work we are doing to diversify tourism is bearing fruit, as September saw the highest growth, with nearly 9% more tourists and 10% more overnight stays than last summer.”
The results from this summer demonstrate “the region's ability to continue attracting both domestic and international visitors, which also helps secure jobs and opportunities for the local population.”
