According to the estimates of the coefficients of variation, the INE has considered that the data at the national level have sufficient quality for their dissemination and their use by the different users of these statistics. For the data provided at the regional level, it is suggested to be cautious in their analysis, because in the variables of overnight stays and occupancy rates, there are regions that exceed the recommended threshold of 30% in the coefficient of variation.
