Official Indicators: The Sector's X-Ray according to INE
Precision is the pillar upon which Salamanca's tourism strategy is built.
Through the Hotel Occupancy Survey (EOH) and the metrics for Non-Hotel Accommodation (apartments, campsites, and rural tourism), we analyze the city's real pulse. These figures allow us to precisely break down the volume of travelers, overnight stays, and occupancy rates, differentiating between the national market and international tourism which, in 2025, has shown unprecedented dynamism.
This documentary base not only serves as a historical record but also as an essential diagnostic tool for the professional sector. By cross-referencing data from traditional hotel establishments with the rise of new accommodation models, we gain a 360° view of Salamanca's tourism ecosystem. Here, statistical rigor becomes the solid foundation for planning Salamanca's growth as a sustainable, competitive, and high-quality destination.
