How to read these figures

The index keeps two measures separate. Bed occupancy relates a week's overnight stays to the available bed places and is the only measure on which two travel regions can be compared. The season-relative crowd score measures each region against its own annual peak and only answers when it is quiet there, never where it is quieter than elsewhere.

That is why the rankings sit on occupancy and the “quietest week” and “busiest week” columns on the season-relative pattern. The two measures are never combined. Values above 100 per cent are possible: a typical holiday week is measured against the year-round bed stock.

The figures are derived, not measured: they come from official overnight-stay, capacity, holiday and climate data, not from on-site counts. An empty cell means “no value”, never “zero” – 0 of 282 travel regions are missing the bed stock, 60 the airport mapping.

What the crowding index cannot do

The limits belong with the figure, so they stand here and not in a footnote.

It does not measure, it models. We count no people on the ground and read no real-time occupancy. The figure says how busy a week is likely to become given the official data.
Day visitors are missing. In the EU-27 in 2024, some 1.67 billion day trips stood against only 1.19 billion overnight trips. Eurostat itself writes that the statistics are likely to underestimate the true extent of tourism pressures.
Cruise passengers are excluded from the survey, and establishments with fewer than 10 beds are not recorded – on both sides of the occupancy figure: neither their overnight stays nor their bed places are counted. Destinations with heavy day-trip or cruise tourism (Venice, Dubrovnik, Santorini) appear too quiet with us rather than too busy.
Several travel regions can lie in the same statistical region; four Canary Islands do. They then share the same curve and the same occupancy. The figure there is a statement about the statistical region, not about the individual island.
Occupancy measures a typical week against the year-round stock of bed places (latest available year per statistical region). Seasonal businesses such as campsites are counted even in months when they are closed – regions with a lot of camping look quieter in winter than their open establishments are. And a holiday peak can exceed 100 per cent, because the stock is an annual figure.
The score is an average over several years, not the calendar of a particular year. It knows neither the holiday pattern of a single year nor major events.
The climate figures shown alongside crowding rest on windows of differing length: precipitation and snow on only 3 years. They belong to the weather comfort score, not to crowding.
