The tourism sector is one of the main engines of our economy: it generates wealth and generates quality employment. Spain is an increasingly desired destination by international travellers due to its magnificent and diverse offer that places us at the head of the world powers of tourism”.

For this month of August, the good performance of Colombia stands out (32.5% more reserved seats than in August 2022), Poland (28.8% above a year ago) and Portugal (28.5 % YoY growth). Also noteworthy is the 7.4% year-on-year growth in reserved seats from the United States, the leading non-European market.
