Brits Lead Spanish Tourism

Figures where just published for May 2013 and they show that Spain welcomed a total of 5.8 million international tourists to their sunny beaches which is a 7.4% rise on last year’s figures. The visitors to Spain are international but who are leading the way? Us Brits! We saw a 9.3 percent increase year on year and now account for well over a quarter of Spain’s total tourists, although not surprising as the weather in the UK is often short of pleasing.

Between January and May alone Spain has welcomed an excess of 19.8 million international visitors which is a rise of 3.9% on last year’s figures, despite the Spanish and British recession holidays don’t seem to be slowing down with all the figures pointing on the increase. The main destination for the Brits where the Balearic Islands which accounted for almost a third of all British people visiting Spain which is a significant rise on the last year. The countries just trailing behind for the amount of visitors to Spain are Germany and France.
