The pie charts illustrate the proportion of holiday accommodation used by tourists in three decades (1988, 1998, and 2008), namely staying with relatives and friends, hotels, camping, and rented apartments.
Overall, staying with relatives and friends was consistently the most popular choice throughout the period, although its share declined by the final decade. In contrast, the proportion of rented apartments rose steadily, while hotels and camping showed fluctuating patterns.
In 1988, more than half of holidaymakers (52%) stayed with relatives and friends, making this the dominant option. Camping was the second most common at 28%, followed by hotels at 14%. Rented apartments accounted for only 6%, the lowest share at that time.
By 1998, the proportion of people staying with relatives and friends increased slightly to 54%. Hotels also became more popular, rising to 22%. Meanwhile, both camping and rented apartments represented 12% each, showing a redistribution of preferences compared with the previous decade.
In 2008, however, the share of tourists staying with relatives and friends dropped significantly to 43%, although it remained the leading category. Hotels and rented apartments were almost equal at 22% and 21%, respectively, while camping fell to 13%, becoming the least preferred form of accommodation.
