The indices track changes in prices
Each national annual rate compares a price index with the same month a year earlier. The figures measure movement in accommodation prices. To compare what a traveller pays in euros across formats, a separate set of room, apartment or pitch prices is needed. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
The three series moved differently during the year
Tourist apartment prices were down 1.6% in January 2026 from January 2025. Campsite prices were up 5.6% and rural accommodation prices up 1.4%. By September the apartment index posted the largest annual rise of the three. Source 1
Campsite price change depends on the tariff
The standard campsite tariff rose 4.39% in the September annex. Special rates for stays over one month rose 11.03%, and bungalow rates rose 5.54%. The index levels have different bases for bungalow and other campsite tariffs. The annual rates compare each tariff with its own prior-year reading. Source 2
September’s apartment increase covers several booking channels
The standard rate rose 9.68%, weekend rates rose 9.30%, and the tour-operator and agency rate rose 10.05%. The aggregate index tracks a weighted group of tariffs. Its rise should be read alongside the rates for the booking categories in the table. Source 2 Source 1
