This represents a 1.0% increase from July 2023 and a 13.5% rise compared to pre-pandemic levels in July 2019. The number of camping areas nearly tripled from 1,901 in July 2019 to 5,336 in July 2024. Bed places in site-related accommodations grew by 142.4% over the same period. Conversely, the most significant decreases in bed places were seen in guesthouses (99.7%) and holiday accommodations (99.1%).
