Spain saw a record 94 million tourists in 2024, boosting economic growth. Tourism spending hit 126 billion euros, with further growth expected in 2025.
MADRID (Reuters) - An estimated record 94 million foreigners visited Spain last year, 10% more than in 2023, and their numbers were expected to keep growing in 2025, helping propel Spain's economic growth amid a wider European slowdown, Tourism Minister Jordi Hereu said on Wednesday.
Foreign tourists spent some 126 billion euros ($130 billion) during their stays in 2024, up 16% from the previous year, the minister said, predicting they would spend 36 billion euros in the first four months of 2025, also 16% higher than in the same period of 2024.
