AB The significant growth of the tourism sector in the last decade has led to the appearance of newtypes of accommodation. The objective herein is to determine the dimensions that characterise the Spanishtourist accommodation sector, and to analyse its impact on a regional scale. The methodology used appliesMultivariate Analysis techniques. Five determining dimensions of the tourist accommodation sector areidentified, with special emphasis on aspects related to the labour market, to the supply and demand of thesector and to efficiency. A positive, albeit uneven, impact on regional economies is evident, with location andthe preferred type of tourism as determining factors for success. “Sun and sand” holiday tourism, predominantin the Mediterranean regions and the Spanish archipelagos, favours traditional accommodation such ashotels and tourist flats, while other types of tourism opt for alternative forms of accommodation, such ascampsites and hostels.
