For this estimate, the agency has analyzed the data presented by the Tourism Councilors of New York, Miami, Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Stockholm, Milan, Paris, Berlin and London on the second day of the Turespaña Convention and the results of the Winter Trends Reports.

In this way, Turespaña has been able to make a forecast of arrivals and spending in the main markets. In Europe, Spain continues to be the leading destination for the United Kingdom and 2023 will close with data very similar to those before the pandemic in terms of the number of arrivals, far exceeding tourism spending that year.

The German market already exceeds 2019 tourism spending by almost 7% and, so far in 2023, Spain has received 93% of the German tourists arrivals in the same period of 2019, with a foreseeable maintenance of the growth trend for the last four months of the year.

It will also position itself as the top international destination for the French. Following the pandemic, there have been changes in the behavior of these tourists that explain the increase in spending in this market.
