RevPAR up 6% and hotel occupancy at 69% according to CEHAT and PwC
Spanish hotels are heading into the second half of 2026 with optimistic figures. According to the CEHAT and PwC report, covered by Smart Travel News, RevPAR rose 6% between April and May, and occupancy hit 69%. International tourism grew 2.5%, with Eastern Europe surging 9%.
- Air connections planned for July-September will increase 6.1%.
- Direct hotel revenue grew 19% year-on-year, and a 17% increase is projected for the fall.
Good news, but keep an eye on the risk: the growth is leveraged on international demand and connectivity. If either falters, the house of cards could wobble. For now, enjoy the summer and plan with these numbers on your desk.
