    • español

      El importante crecimiento del sector turístico en la última década, ha provocado la aparición de nuevos tipos de alojamientos. Por ello, se plantea el objetivo de determinar las dimensiones que caracterizan al sector del alojamiento turístico español, analizando su impacto a escala regional. La metodología utilizada aplica técnicas de Análisis Multivariante. Se identifican cinco dimensiones determinantes del alojamiento turístico, destacando especialmente en aspectos relacionados con el mercado laboral, con la oferta y demanda del sector y con la eficacia turística. Se evidencia un impacto positivo, aunque desigual, en las economías regionales, siendo la localización y la modalidad turística preferida condicionantes del éxito. El turismo vacacional de “sol y playa”, predominante en las regiones mediterráneas y los archipiélagos españoles, prefiere alojamientos tradicionales como los hoteles o los apartamentos turísticos, mientras que otras modalidades turísticas se decantan por formas alternativas de alojamiento, como el camping o el albergue.

      The significant growth of the tourism sector in the last decade has led to the appearance of new types of accommodation. The objective herein is to determine the dimensions that characterise the Spanish tourist accommodation sector, and to analyse its impact on a regional scale. The methodology used applies Multivariate Analysis techniques. Five determining dimensions of the tourist accommodation sector are identified, with special emphasis on aspects related to the labour market, to the supply and demand of the sector and to efficiency. A positive, albeit uneven, impact on regional economies is evident, with location and the preferred type of tourism as determining factors for success. “Sun and sand” holiday tourism, predominant in the Mediterranean regions and the Spanish archipelagos, favours traditional accommodation such as hotels and tourist flats, while other types of tourism opt for alternative forms of accommodation, such as campsites and hostels.
