Spain breaks its tourism record

Last updated on February 19th, 2020 at 01:35 am.

The number of tourists visiting Spain keeps on rising. In 2015 68.1 million people came to Spain whilst in 2016 the number recorded had reached 71.6 million by November.

In this Infograph we can clearly see how the number of tourists visiting Spain over the past three years has been growing. The increase has been put down to a fall in confidence in travelling to some other previously popular destinations. Spain continues to be an attractive holiday spot particularly for British, German, French and Nordic tourists.

The large number of visitors in November is partly explained due to the popularity of the Canaries during this month. Catalonia and the Balearic Islands are the top destinations during other times of the year.
