Notes:

*: Short-stay accommodation data was downloaded from EURSTAT and was available between 2018-2023. However, due to compatibility issues, it served only supplementary purpose and was not used in the ranking since it was not available for Dubrovnik, Edinburgh, Mallorca, and London. The rationale for this decision was to maintain the analysis of these four major locations experiencing overtourism
