Algarve hotels at 80% for June holidays

  • 13 June, 22

The tourist occupancy rate for the June holidays in the Algarve is expected to be around 80%, with about 17,000 passengers currently disembarking daily at Faro airport, the president of Turismo do Algarve told Lusa on Monday.

“There is a clear sign in the recovery of demand from domestic and foreign tourists, which is more robust than was expected at the beginning of the year,” said João Fernandes, estimating occupancy for the long weekends in June at around 80%.

According to the head of the Algarve Tourism Board (RTA), bookings from June to October “are at levels close to those of 2019,” with the return of traditional tourism from the United Kingdom and Ireland being noted, as well as those who play golf, which in recent years “showed significant declines.”

On the other hand, noted João Fernandes, there is also a significant increase in the arrival of groups of companies that come to the Algarve for meetings and gatherings and tourists from French-speaking European countries such as France, Belgium and Switzerland.
