Albufeira. The most popular destination for golf holidays in Portugal had a great January

More people spent their holidays in the Algarve this January

The largest hotel association in southern Portugal announced that January’s average occupancy rate in the Algarve, the most famous destination for golf holidays in Portugal, was 36.9 percent, the highest percentage in that month of the past 20 years.

The first data on the monthly development of activity in the sector was provided by the Association of Hotels and Tourist Enterprises of the Algarve (AHETA), and the number of this year is close to the percentages obtained in 2000 (40.3 percent) and 2001 (37.5 percent).

Room occupancy in January 2023 was 3.8 percentage points higher than in January 2019 (the year before the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic) and 2.6 percentage points higher than in January 2020. (one month before the start of the pandemic).

The average number of guests staying in a hotel in the Algarve in January this year was 11.7 percent more than in January 2022.

The association claims that the growth was driven mostly by the Irish (+1.0 pp) and British (+0.4 pp) markets. Meanwhile, AHETA notes that the markets in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Canada all had “significant gains” compared to 2019.

Tavira (+18 pp), Faro (+13.2 pp), and Vilamoura/Quinta do Lago (+11.5 pp) saw the greatest gains compared to 2019.

The Algarve has some of the best golf courses in Europe, like Monte Rei (considered the best in Portugal) and Quinta do Lago South. Last year, 5 golf courses in the region have been placed among Europe’s top 100, which proves the excellence of the Algarve.
