Considering the accommodation supply (beds) per parish, a high concentration can be seen in
parishes considered to be at the “foot of the slopes” (Encamp 19%, Canillo 22% and La Massana
14%), and also in the central parishes (Andorra la Vella 19% and Escaldes-Engordany 16%). In Sant
Julià de Lòria (2.9%) and Ordino (6.1%), despite having important infrastructures, the distance
between the town centres and the infrastructures reduces the “foot of the slopes” effect. In 2022,
the number of beds increased in most parishes except La Massana and Escaldes-Engordany. The
most important increases were seen in Sant Julià de Lòria (+17.5%) and Encamp (+15.2%). As for
the number of establishments, the increase (10 more) was spread throughout the parishes, but
mostly benefitted Encamp, with six more.
