Back in 1990, Barcelona’s hotels – which account for the largest share of overnight tourists in the city – hosted 1.73 million guests. In 2022, this number amounted to nearly seven million, even with the effect of the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In that same year, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom were among the main international source markets for Barcelona's hotel industry. Moreover, the Catalonian capital has also largely contributed to placing its region among the three most visited autonomous communities by Spanish tourists.
