Tourist occupancy levels in the Algarve have successfully returned to pre-Covid-19 levels, demonstrating a full recovery in the market.

The occupancy per quarter of tourist resorts in the Algarve was, in July, 87.7%, 4.3 percentage points more than the value reached in 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The Algarve surpassed, in July, the numbers of 2019, the best tourist year ever. Thus, the sector continues to recover, after two terrible years, due to the pandemic”, highlighted the Association of Hotels and Tourist Enterprises of the Algarve (AHETA).

The Algarve business association released, in a statement, data on average occupancy per room recorded in July in hotels and developments in the region and specified that, in addition to the increase of 4.3 percentage points compared to the same period of 2019, there was an increase of “37.5 percentage points compared to 2021”.
