Regarding the type of international tourism that will arrive, the data points to a trend of improvement in the socioeconomic profile of tourists and an increase in their purchasing power, since reservations for arrivals in a premium cabin grow by 16% compared to 2022.
Both for the president of Adestic, Santiago Sanus, and for Juan A. Gómez García, these data are essential to understand the dynamics and evolution of the current market and face the summer season. In addition, they ensure that they value the need and importance of new technological tools and innovations, such as Big Data or artificial intelligence, so that destinations and companies in the sector can adapt their facilities, services and personnel in the face of the main months of peak tourist influx.
"Access to accurate information and practical data has never been as important as it is now, since it offers us a perspective at the macro level of changing trends and consumer preferences, in this case of international tourists in the Valencian Community," he stresses. Gomez.
