An exceptional summer. This is how the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP), described the last few months for tourism in Mijas, as to the good results achieved must be added those obtained in September, when a 91.13% occupancy rate was recorded, which is more than five points higher than the same month last year.   

According to the data provided by the Costa del Sol Hotel Entrepreneurs Association (Aehcos),  from June to September the municipality has registered an average occupancy rate of 90.94%. During the month of August the occupancy rate reached 94.19%, close to full occupancy.

Now, explains the government team, the figures for September “consolidate Mijas as one of the leading tourist municipalities, especially when the occupancy rate for the month of September in the province of Malaga was 88.74%, which means that the municipality is above this level”. 

The general forecasts for the coming months have changed very little with respect to those announced by Aehcos at the beginning of the month. Occupancy in October is estimated at 82.34% compared to 83.71% in 2023, while for November, the hotel association expects occupancy to be 66.41% compared to 71.48% last year, although these are provisional figures.

“We can only congratulate ourselves on these figures, which reflect the strategic position of Mijas in the national tourist industry as a whole. The wide range of possibilities that Mijas offers makes us a unique international destination. We must continue working to maintain, improve and consolidate our leading position”, said the mayoress.

As for the tourist offices, during the month of September they received 14,302 visitors, of which 2,862 were Spanish, 2,867 British, 1,664 French and 798 German.
