According to José Luque, the President of AEHCOS, the demand from national tourists has not quite reached the desired levels, despite a slight increase in reservations in the last 10 days.

The top five tourist destinations with the highest occupancy rates for July are Torremolinos with an impressive 93.94 per cent forecast, followed by Benalmadena (90.99 per cent), Mijas (86.45 per cent), Malaga City (86.32 per cent), and Fuengirola (84.94 per cent).

AEHCOS also notes a slight improvement in hotel occupancy rates for August, with an estimated 83.57 per cent compared to last year’s rate of 88.08 per cent.

The association hopes that last­minute bookings will help bridge the gap and reach the levels of 2022.
