Abstract(s)

In 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. These significant increases in tourist accommodation and overnight stays have led to an accelerated growth of tourism supply and demand in Porto, significantly impacting this destination.
