Data from the hotel association Horeca confirms a slowdown in the tourism sector in the capital of Cadiz during the first 15 days of August. Hotel occupancy has been set at 94.25%, marking the lowest rate in the last three summers. This figure is lower than the 95.34% recorded last year and the 94.71% from 2024.
This decrease places Cadiz capital in seventh place in the province's hotel occupancy ranking, down from third position last year. Locations such as Rota, Algeciras, Chipiona, Conil, Zahara de los Atunes, and Tarifa have registered higher occupancy during this period.
Forecasts for the second fortnight of August anticipate an occupancy rate of 87.15%, while September is expected to see 79.84%. This latter figure is notably lower than the 92.08% achieved in September last year, despite the planned event schedule for this year, including the 'Orgullosos de nuestra Historia' festival.
Despite the drop in the capital, Cadiz surpasses the provincial average occupancy. In the first fortnight of August, the provincial average was 91.77%, almost three points below the capital's result. For the second fortnight, the provincial average forecast stands at 84.46%.
