However, only 20% of global hotel offerings match this preference. The AMT aims to reduce its dependency on source markets, noting that 28% of accommodations in its destinations are managed by hotel chains, with 15% by international brands—nearly double the rest of Spain.

Mabrian also identifies Hurghada (Egypt), Agadir (Morocco), Crete (Greece), Zagreb (Croatia), and Bari (Italy) as the top competitors for the first half of 2025.
