They are followed by the Dutch market (654,733 overnight stays) and the British market (601,345 overnight stays), the latter showing a recovery in market share compared to previous seasons. German Tourists occupy fourth place and Belgian tourists fifth. It is also worth highlighting the 6 % increase in overnight stays by tourists from the United States in the province of Girona.
In the accommodation sectors, hotels account for half of the overnight stays recorded with 5.5 million, followed by the camping sector with 3.6 million, tourist apartments with 759,000 and rural tourism with 170,000. Regarding the average length of stay of international visitors, it stands at 3.2 nights across the different types of accommodation.
