10 EU Countries with the Most Tourist Accommodation Nights per Resident, 2025

Croatia records 24.46 nights in tourist accommodation per resident in 2025, the highest tourism intensity among the 27 EU countries. This chart uses Eurostat tour_occ_ninat, all guest residences combined (TOTAL), and NACE I551–I553: hotels, holiday and other short-stay accommodation, and camping grounds. The source unit is nights per thousand inhabitants (P_THAB); dividing by 1,000 and rounding to two decimals gives nights per resident. All 27 countries have values, and the ten highest are selected with no cutoff tie. The EU aggregate is 6.98 nights per resident. Both domestic and international guests count. This measures overnight stays relative to the resident population, not unique visitors, international arrivals, resident travel frequency or spending. The indicator excludes second homes, visits to friends and relatives, same-day visitors and smaller establishments outside reporting coverage. Annual national averages can hide local and seasonal crowding. Eurostat’s October 16 release offers a current news hook; winter and holiday travel planning are plausible future uses, not evidence of rising search interest or winter occupancy.
