The turnover of tourism companies in Spain will exceed 200,000 million euros, “which will represent a historic contribution to the GDP of over 13%,” as pointed out today by Juan Molas, president of the Tourism Board.

From La Vanguardia, the business association highlighted, in a press meeting, that “Spanish tourism is breaking records, with an estimated volume of international tourists close to 95 million, compared to 85 million last year.” Molas emphasized that the seasons are extending “further back,” with a much more positive September in some destinations than the month of July. There is an improvement in seasonality data, “a long sought-after goal by the sector,” and in spending figures. Travelers are spending around 11% more than last year, according to statements from the Board.
