In Andalusia, the epicentre of short-stay accommodation in Europe
Andalusia records the highest number of overnight stays in short and medium term accommodation in Europe for the third consecutive year (source: Eurostat 2024). It also accounts for 65% of the short-stay supply in Spain, and 10 of the 12 luxury projects under development in Spain within the tourism sector are located in Andalusia.
These figures make it a pole of attraction for real estate investment, tourism innovation and the arrival of new international brands.

A carefully planned agenda and networking spaces favour high-value debates and strategic connections that generate tangible results for the future of the sector.
