Methodology

Tourist intensity is the number of registered tourist accommodation places (hotels, campsites, tourist apartments and rural lodging) per 100 inhabitants of the comarca, from the Catalan Tourism Register (Idescat). A low value indicates less tourist pressure on housing and local services; a high value marks comarques where tourism dominates the economy and property market. Comarques with fewer places per resident appear first; green marks the least touristy.
