Tourism growth in Valencian Community and Benidorm

Overview

The Valencian Community has experienced significant growth in its tourism sector, characterized by high hotel occupancy rates that have exceeded initial forecasts. During the October long weekend, the region recorded an 88.9% occupancy rate, with Benidorm, Peníscola, and Valencia city all reporting rates above 90%.

In Elche, September saw record-breaking occupancy at 89.8%, with a visitor profile split nearly evenly between business and leisure travelers. This regional upward trend is supported by increased passenger numbers at the Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport.

As the season extends into October, Benidorm has maintained high occupancy levels, reaching 89.8% in the first half of the month. This performance outpaces the broader Costa Blanca region. The British market remains the largest source of visitors to Benidorm at 45.2%, followed by the Spanish national market.
