What happened in the
Spanish tourism industry this year?
Spain has seen a
decline in tourism for second year running
July is generally the
go to month for statistics and according to data from Spain’s National
Statistics Institute (INE) 9.9 million tourists visited Spain during this month,
this represents a fall 1.3% compared to the same period in 2018.
Focusing mainly on the
British tourism industry holidaying in Spain, July saw a total of 2.16 million Britons
visit Spain during July which compared to last year’s figures is down by
2%. In real terms this figure means that
161,000 fewer British holidaymakers visited our shores.
Strangely, although
less holiday makers visited Spain the spending rose by two percent from last
year’s figures, with tourists spending nearly 12 billion Euros which equated to
an average spend of €160 per day for each person visiting the country.
The Costa Calida
tourism industry is staying relatively buoyant in the face of the collapse of
Thomas Cook and the never ending saga of Brexit with British holidaymakers
accounting for over 42% of tourists visiting the Costa Calida.
