Every month, hoteles.es reports on the state of the hotel market in Spain by analysing the statistics released by Spain’s Institute of National Statistics (INE). These statistics cover every aspect of the Spanish hotel sector, ranging from hotel price variations and occupancy rates, to regional breakdowns and the national origin of hotel guests.
The large hotel chains of Sol Melia, Barcelo and Riu have all placed a number of their Canary Island-based establishments up for sale this year as each chain seeks to improve profitability by moving to more urban, and less developed, markets.
The Club Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote Resort reopened its doors today for the first time this year following an expansive €20 million facelift and renovation over the winter.
Each month, Hoteles.es will bring you a complete roundup of Spain’s hotel industry, collating and interpreting a number of facets, such as price trends, hotel occupancy rates, overnight stays, origin of visitors and even regional breakdowns. All information is taken from Spain’s Office of National Statistics, or INE.
