It comes after the global hotel brand concluded its summer season in the Balearic Islands and Costa del Sol with "very positive" closing figures.

Hotels in the European destinations recorded peaks of up to 90% occupancy in July and August, and in September, results exceeded those achieved in 2019, with figures of around 85%, and 70% in October for seasonal hotels.

The group said "several factors" were responsible for the development in 2022, such as an "explosion" in pent-up demand thanks to the easing of Covid-19 measures throughout Europe.

The early start to the season – which made 2022 one of the longest summer seasons ever – also played an important role, as did the opening of TRS Ibiza Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel Marbella.

In Europe, hotels in the Balearic Islands, Costa del Sol, Tenerife and Sicily achieved combined average occupancy figures of around 73% throughout the summer season.

In the Americas, Mexico occupancy levels exceeded 70%, with the annual accumulated occupancy figure for resorts in the Riviera Maya, Costa Mujeres and Riviera Nayarit recording between 72% and 76%.

Meanwhile, Brazil and Jamaica have occupancy rates of around 70%, and are expected to remain at these levels.

Sergio Zertuche, chief sales and marketing officer of Palladium Hotel Group, said: "Without a doubt, this has been one of the most exciting seasons for our group.

"Not only because of the return to normality, but also because of the opening of two new hotels in Spain, in which we have placed a great deal of hope and trust: TRS Ibiza Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel Marbella."

He said international tourists have made a "strong return", particularly to the Spanish islands.

Markets such as the UK, Germany, France and Belgium are also responding "very well", and the brand has also seen a "very positive" share of American travellers staying in European hotels.
