Monthly tourists were only 0.5% below September 2025, but the January-September total remained 3.9% lower and the required October-December pace rose to 10,087 tourists per day. August utilisation was much healthier than June, yet a CPI of 1.70x still means the system carried roughly 872 thousand unsold bed nights.

The stronger warning remains in utilisation. By May, the latest detailed accommodation data show a Capacity Pressure Index of 2.34x, meaning the tourism system carried more than twice the bed-night capacity that was actually sold.
