Tourism activities:
In line with international recommendations, in this use of Social Security contributor data, tourism activities are considered to be those corresponding to the following branches of activity, according to CNAE 2025: 55 and 56 Hospitality, 79 Activities of travel agencies, tour operators, and reservations, 90 Artistic creation and performance activities, 91 Libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural activities, 93 Recreational and entertainment activities, 491 Intercity passenger rail transport, 493 Other land passenger transport, 501 Sea passenger transport, 503 Inland waterway passenger transport, 511 Air passenger transport, 522 Activities related to transport, 7711 Rental of cars and light motor vehicles, 7734 Rental of watercraft, 7735 Rental of aircraft. This approach constitutes an underestimation, as it does not consider other economic activities that may contribute to the tourism sector, and at the same time, an overestimation insofar as the branches considered do not operate exclusively for the tourism sector. The year-on-year growth rates in 2026 are calculated based on equivalent activities in 2025 under the CNAE 2009 classification consequently, part of the variation is due to methodological adjustments.
