1 October 2026 release calendar lists July data showing 481,344,525 nights spent in tourist accommodation establishments across the European Union. This is the total number of nights guests spent in covered establishments during July 2026. It is not a count of unique tourists: each night is counted when a person stays for several nights. The dataset also separates nights by the guest’s country of residence into domestic and non-resident categories.","Guests resident in the country of the establishment accounted for 237,830,316 nights; guests resident abroad accounted for 243,514,209. Compared with July 2025, total nights increased by 2.68%. Nights by resident guests rose by 1.99%, and nights by non-residents increased by 3.36%. These percentages compare the same month across years. Residence, rather than citizenship, determines the category; a citizen living abroad can be classified as a non-resident guest.","Hotels and similar accommodation recorded 244,760,462 nights, the largest group, up 2.42% year on year. Holiday and other short-stay accommodation recorded 125,478,153 nights, an increase of 2.48%. Campsites, recreational vehicle parks and trailer parks accounted for 111,105,910 nights, up 3.49%, the fastest increase among the three categories. The groups follow NACE activity classifications and are not a complete count of every dwelling offered through an online platform.","Eurostat defines a night spent as each night a resident or non-resident guest actually sleeps or stays in a tourist accommodation establishment. Monthly statistics cover NACE groups 55.1 to 55.3: hotels and similar accommodation; holiday and other short-stay accommodation; and camping grounds, recreational vehicle parks and trailer parks. National statistical authorities collect data through surveys, censuses or, in some cases, automated sources. They use harmonised concepts and definitions, and Eurostat applies validation checks before publication. The EU aggregate is calculated when sufficient data are available.","The count is not seasonally adjusted. July is part of Europe’s summer high season, so comparing its raw total directly with June or August can confuse recurring seasonal patterns with economic change. This report therefore distinguishes the absolute July count from the percentage changes published against the same month a year earlier. Comparing the same month keeps a similar seasonal point in view, but it does not mean Eurostat seasonally adjusted these observations. The annual percentages are changes in monthly counts, not rates from an adjusted index.","A night count does not measure accommodation revenue, room prices, occupancy rates or visitor spending. A larger total can result from longer stays; the number alone does not reveal spending per visitor, trip purpose or prices. Likewise, 481.3 million nights do not represent 481.3 million different tourists. Hotel nights made up roughly half of the total, but that is not the hotels’ share of capacity or revenue. Occupancy calculations also require information on available beds or rooms and the days they were open.","Scope is essential to interpreting the result. Eurostat’s reference metadata describes this series as a supply-side measure of paid short-stay accommodation establishments. National rules may allow establishments below a specified bed-place threshold to be excluded; the methodology calls for annual estimates of nights at excluded establishments. This monthly establishment count does not cover every form of travel on the same basis. Unregistered second homes, stays with friends or relatives, and same-day visits without an overnight stay are not counted as establishment nights here. The figure therefore does not describe all tourism or the entire tourism economy.","The careful summary is that covered EU tourist accommodation establishments recorded about 481.3 million nights in July 2026.
