The table below delineates the percentage of four different accomodation types in three distinct years 1988, 1998, and 2008.
From an initial view, the disparity between them seems to have remained unchanged throughout the years except for the rate of camping.
With a further look, it can be seen that throughout the period, staying with family and friends retained its dominance over the others despite a subtle dip of 8% to only 44% in 2008. Among the other three, rented apartments escalated by 15% to 22% by the end of the period, while hotels also grew in popularity to 22% in 1998 and remained stable until 2008. In juxtaposition, camping halved its proportion to only 13% in 1998 and stabilized at 12% by 2008. Camping also went from being second with 26% to the least popular mean with 12% in 2008, then hotels and rented apartments and staying with family being the most common type of accommodation among holidaymakers.
