Valencia expects 100,000 camper tourists and allocates €542,035 for parking areas

This summer, more than 30,000 motorhomes are expected to visit the Valencian Community, a figure similar to last year. The sector estimates that around 100,000 tourists will travel through the region in these vehicles. Enrique Rita, president of the Caravanning Association of the Valencian Community, highlighted the sector's growth since 2020 and the stabilisation of demand. Rental has become the main way to access this type of tourism, ahead of purchase.

Motorhome tourism in Spain is breaking records: the Valencian Community forecasts over 100,000 motorhome travelers this summer. The surge is linked to a historic reform of the General Traffic Regulations, which standardizes parking rules for motorhomes.

The sector estimates that more than 100,000 tourists will visit the Valencian Community this summer in over 33,000 motorhomes and campervans. This is the first summer season after the reform of the General Traffic Regulations, which introduces a common parking rule for such vehicles nationwide. Average daily spending per motorhome exceeds 120 euros.

Over 100,000 tourists in 33,000 motorhomes and campers are expected to visit the Valencian Community this summer, according to sector forecasts, in the first summer season after the reform of the General Traffic Regulations came into force. The reform introduces a single national criterion for motorhome parking, recognising them as equal to other vehicles when conditions are met. Average daily spending per vehicle exceeds 120 euros, and the AC-LLAR association has already reported over 80% fleet occupancy for July and August.

According to the Gremi d'Empresaris del Caravaning (Gremcar), bookings for caravans and motorhomes in Catalonia during the Tour de France stages (July 4–6) increased by 7% compared to the same period last year. The growth is attributed to the influx of visitors, the need for flexible accommodation, and the ability to move along the race route. Autocaravanes del Vallès (fleet of 30 vehicles) reported no availability until mid-July. Rental prices for a motorhome during the Tour days are around €160 per day, and around €140 for a camper van. Gremcar estimates a 15% increase in economic activity in areas near the route.
