Overall, it’s clear that figures of tourists staying in hotels share a similar growing trend to that of tourists staying in apartments among the years in question. However, while the trend is similar between the aforementioned accomodation styles, it’s shown by the graph that the overall average number of hotel residents significantly surpasses the number of apartment stayers.
Looking at the first part of the period, both hotel-stayers and apartment-stayers numbers rose significantly, with the former rising from 1 million tourists in the year 2010 to approximately 1.65 tourists in 2013. The later on the other hand, climbed from half a million tourists in 2010 all the way up to around 0.9 million apartment residents.
Similarly, by considering the second part of the period that ranges between the year 2014 to 2017, both the themes under question maintained the rising tendency, with the figures of hotels increasing from about 1.8 million tourists up in 2014 up to approximately 1.95 in 2017. This growing direction was also embraced by the apartments figures, creeping up from exactly 1 million in 2014 to around 1.55 in 2017.
