The World Travel & Tourism Council expects Spain’s Travel & Tourism sector to contribute more than €269 billion to the economy in 2026. Its latest forecast puts growth at 4.1%, up from the previous 3.7% projection.
WTTC also forecasts an 8.1% rise in international business visitor spending. These are projections from the industry body, rather than completed full-year results.
What this means for a trip
A national growth forecast does not tell you whether your chosen hotel is available or an attraction has spare tickets. Build your route around the places you want to visit, then check dated prices and opening arrangements directly.
