Latest data: May 2025 | Frequency: Monthly update | Last update: June 2025

INFORMATION:

• Employment data in tourism occupations of the smart destination (DTI) network is updated quarterly.
• In order to adapt the statistical data of the SEPE to the regulations currently in force regarding the protection of personal data, as of January 2022, the value for those data that, due to its structure, content or degree of disaggregation, allows the identification of natural or legal persons, is omitted from the SEPE statistical data files. In this dashboard and on the map, the values ​​that are in the range between 1 and 4 have been transformed into '1', thus guaranteeing a minimum estimate. As a result, the subtotals of municipalities, provinces and autonomous communities are approximate, preserving the anonymization of the data.
• The historical depth of data for some municipalities in the DTI network depends on the time at which they were incorporated into the dashboard for analysis. Due to this, in some periods there may be municipalities with "no data".
