EUROSTAT Coastal tourism

The aim of tourism statistics is to provide a full picture of tourism levels and trends in a comparable way across EU countries.

Tourism statistics may be used to answer questions such as:

what are the top regions in the EU for international tourists? how many Europeans go on holidays in their own country, and what means of transport do they use? how many stays in short-term rentals in major cities are booked via online platforms? how much does the tourism sector contribute directly to the EU's gross value added? Data sources Tourism statistics are collected via monthly and quarterly surveys. This depends on the topic and the country running the survey.

The data on online platforms is based on data sharing agreements with 4 major international platforms offering short-stay accommodation. These are Airbnb, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, and Expedia Group.
