Tourist stays in Lanzarote have not exceeded 10 days on average for two decades now. The last year in which the average annual stay of tourists in Lanzarote exceeded that number of days was 2004.
Despite the fact that public institutions and in particular the Island Council highlight the need to achieve longer stays, both to reduce the ecological impact and on the infrastructures, the trend of increasingly shorter visits by tourists arriving in Lanzarote has not been stopped.
Good proof of this is the data from June. Last month, almost 240,000 travelers visited Lanzarote and stayed very close to one and a half million overnight stays. However, the average stay per traveler on the island was 7.34 days, exactly one day less than ten years ago when it amounted to 8.34 days.
Until 2017, the average stay of tourists in Lanzarote exceeded 8 days in June almost every year, but from that date the stay has been reduced to just over 7 days at present.
Exactly a decade ago, in June 2013, fewer travelers arrived, around 200,000, but they made more than 1.3 million overnight stays on average, so their average stay was 8.34 days.
Danes and Germans, those who stay the longest
By nationality, last June, the 1,350 Danes who visited the island were the ones who had the longest stays, as they exceeded 18 days on average.
Next, the 16,445 Germans who spent their holidays in Lanzarote last month and who exceeded 10 days of stay on average.
Travelers from the Netherlands (5,357 travelers) and Belgium (2,610 tourists) stayed for more than 9 days. Visitors from Austria, Luxembourg, Norway and Iceland also stayed for more than 9 days, although they did not exceed 700 tourists in total.
Travelers from Ireland (around 30,000) and Poland (3,230) stayed for more than 8 days. The rest of the nationalities stayed less than eight days on the island.
