Martins, Márcio Ribeiro; Costa, Rui Augusto da; Correia, Ricardo; Costa, Adriano; AnaísaIn 2022, the capacity of tourist accommodation in the municipality of Porto, Portugal, corresponded to 5.7% of the national total, 31.9% of the total for the northern region and 60.9% of the Porto Metropolitan Area (Pordata, 2024). The growth rate of tourist activity, which has been above the national and regional average, is reflected in the 61.8% increase in the number of beds and the 46% increase in the number of overnight stays (Pordata, 2024a) between 2016 and 2022.
