Record September for the island's tourism takings

Tourist accommodation earned almost €91 million, the best September on record according to the Cabildo's Data Centre.

The 195 establishments open in September welcomed around 239,400 guests and recorded 1.48 million overnight stays, roughly the same as last year. In other words, more money from the same number of people.

So far this year revenue has reached €810 million, and the island is on track to close 2026 at around €1.1 billion.

The mix of markets is shifting: fewer Irish and British visitors arrived in September, and more Italians and French.
