Hotel occupancy in the Algarve could reach 80% in September

Now3 September 2026 at 10:31

Hotel occupancy in the Algarve could reach 80% in September, according to sector forecasts. The president of the Algarve business association made a positive assessment of the previous month's tourist activity, demonstrating optimism regarding the region's performance during the summer period.

According to the same source, the expectation is that August will match the results achieved in July, which had already shown satisfactory values. This positive outlook reflects the tourism recovery trend in the Algarve region.

The Algarve's hotel sector thus maintains the growth trajectory that has been observed over the past few months, with indicators pointing to a successful tourist season. The forecasts for September, although traditionally a quieter month, prove encouraging for the region's professionals.
