In 2024, the camping <\/strong>sector is proving to be the “big winner” of tourism in Spain<\/strong>, as highlighted by data from theNational Institute of Statistics (INE)<\/strong> and reported Spanish by HOSTELTUR <\/a>in the article “Record extra-hotel overnight stays in 2023: 137 million.”<\/strong> The data confirm the extraordinary moment the sector is going through in the Iberian Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n

The 2023 data of camping in Spain<\/h2>\n\n

For more than a decade, Spanish campgrounds have experienced steady growth<\/strong> both in overnight stays <\/strong>and in the number of domestic <\/strong>and foreign<\/strong> travelers <\/strong>. The global crisis caused by the pandemic has underscored the benefits of accommodation in direct contact with nature. This is also why campgrounds ended the year with a historic achievement<\/strong>, welcoming about 10 million travelers<\/strong>. A number that contrasts sharply with the six million in 2014. In the past year alone, there has been a 4.7<\/strong> percent increase over 2022 and a 19.8 percent<\/strong> increase over the pre-pandemic data in 2019. Regarding overnight stays<\/strong>, there were over 47.28 million<\/strong> in 2023, marking an increase of 46.4 percent<\/strong> compared to 2014, 16.1 percent<\/strong> compared to 2019, and 5.3 percent<\/strong> in comparison to 2022.<\/p>\n\n

Spanish camping sector gained more weight<\/h2>\n\n

This boom is not only reflected in official statistical data, but also translates into greater weight <\/strong>and recognition <\/strong>within the national tourism sector, as the Spanish Federation of Campgrounds (FEEC)<\/a> points out. Campsites are gaining ground <\/strong>in their contribution to Spain’s national GDP<\/strong> and in their representation to tourism boards and government<\/strong> administrations. They also record outstanding reception at major tourism fairs<\/strong>, both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n

Ana Beria\u00edn<\/strong>‘s statements<\/h2>\n\n

FEEC President Ana Beria\u00edn<\/strong> says the 2023 figures “are definitive proof <\/strong>that the sector already has an indisputable and unstoppable <\/strong>weight within national tourism. Success is the result of decades of commitment <\/strong>and relentless work by the entrepreneurs in the industry<\/strong>“. However, FEEC President Beria\u00edn stresses that the campgrounds “are not satisfied and aim to continue the growth, convincing thousands of families to discover what nearly 10 million people enjoyed last year.”<\/p>\n\n
