Which information can I find here?

Tourism refers to the activity of people traveling to a place outside their usual environment for less than a year, for leisure, visiting friends and relatives, or professional purpose.

This section provides information on the 2 main components of tourism statistics:

  • data on tourist accommodation, namely capacity and occupancy of tourist accommodation establishments (for example number of bed places, number of nights spent). Eurostat also publishes a separate series on short-stay accommodation offered via online collaborative economy platforms;
  • data on tourism trips made by EU residents, including information on destination, duration, accommodation, transport, expenditure, etc. and data on participation in tourism.

Additionally, other business or social statistics are used to provide data on economic or labour market aspects of tourism.
