Data represents the number of moorings in marina ports per kilometre of coastline for each NUTS3 or equivalent (e.g. province) region. The total number of moorings was obtained from the data compiled by ETC-UMA on the location and capacity of the marinas, assigning each port its corresponding NUTS3 code and counting the total number of moorings. This value was divided by the length of the region's coastline in km. Results show low to high intensive capacity for this activity by region.

The dataset of the number of cruise passengers in Mediterranean ports in 2018, including both those who start/end a cruise and those who are on excursion is produced in the framework of DestiMED PLUS. DestiMED PLUS Project builds on the successes of MEET and DestiMED projects and aims to improve levels of integration between regional tourism and conservation policies in the protected areas of 9 Mediterranean Regions through the creation of ecotourism itineraries which are developed using a collaborative approach, both locally and regionally to develop ecotourism.

The dataset of the degree of pressure based on the intensity of pleasure craft traffic in the Mediterranean Sea (year 2018) is produced in the framework of DestiMED PLUS. DestiMED PLUS Project builds on the successes of MEET and DestiMED projects and aims to improve levels of integration between regional tourism and conservation policies in the protected areas of 9 Mediterranean Regions through the creation of ecotourism itineraries which are developed using a collaborative approach, both locally and regionally to develop ecotourism.

Data shows the percentage of built up area in the first 1km of the coastal strip of the Mediterranean region by NUTS3 or equivalent region in 2019. Values were calculated by a 100m pixel count for the "Built-up" class of the Copernicus Global Land Cover. Coast belt is shown with a distance of 25km for mapping reasons.

Data showing the distibution of tourism hotspots based on the location of accomodation and attractions sites available in OpenStreetMap counted per km2. Areas without data cannot be interpreted as an absence of tourism activities, but as unmapped areas.

Data representing the surface percentage occupied by golf courses in NUTS3 or equivalent regions as a proxy for the potential environmental pressure of this activity.

Data showing the number of tourists arrivals per km2 in Mediterranean countries indicating the demand of regional tourism infrastructure. Estimation made from a disaggregation of data at NUTS2 (EU countries) or national level (non-EU countries) based on the distribution of accommodation sites available in OpenStreetMap. Last year reported for most non-EU countries and certain regions of France and Turkey is 2021 (2015 for Egypt).

Data shows the number of nights spent at tourist accommodation establishments per km2 in Mediterranean countries. Estimation made from a disaggregation of data at NUTS2 based on the distribution of accommodation sites available in OpenStreetMap.

Data showing the percentage of change in the number bed-places in Mediterranean countries between years 2019 and 2022. Data are mostly available by coastal NUTS2 regions. Data for non European Union countries are available at country level, but only coastal regions are shown on the map to highlight them. Last year reported for most non-EU countries and certain regions of France and Turkey is 2021 (2015 for Egypt).

The dataset of the potential intensity of pressure related to marinas on marine ecosystems is produced in the framework of DestiMED PLUS. DestiMED PLUS Project builds on the successes of MEET and DestiMED projects and aims to improve levels of integration between regional tourism and conservation policies in the protected areas of 9 Mediterranean Regions through the creation of ecotourism itineraries which are developed using a collaborative approach, both locally and regionally to develop ecotourism.
