How much do tourists spend in Andalusian destinations?

Andalusia continues to attract tourists each month who are more willing to spend. According to the data provided by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), this past April, coinciding with the celebration of Holy Week, the expenditure made by travelers reached 1.717 billion euros, marking a growth of 17.2%. This confirms that the region increasingly draws tourists with high purchasing power, to the extent that it is the second region where international tourism revenue is rising the most, only preceded by Madrid, which saw an increase of almost 20%.

In April, the Andalusian community also became the second main destination for foreign travelers, surpassing the Balearic Islands and just behind Catalonia, which was the chosen region for 20% of the visitors from abroad. Andalusia was selected by 1,388,579 travelers, representing 16.2% of the total who visited the country, and the Balearic Islands by 15.8%, according to the INE's monthly tourist movement data. The Andalusian community gained 10% more foreign travelers this past April compared to the same period last year. This figure highlights that the Junta's strategy of focusing on the quality of visitors rather than quantity continues to bear fruit. In April, spending grew seven percentage points above the increase in tourists.

Specifically, in the month of April, Spain received 8.6 million foreign tourists, a 10% increase, who spent more than 10.820 billion euros, representing a 14.1% increase. In the fourth month of the year, each visitor spent an average of 1,264 euros in Spanish destinations, with an annual growth of 3.7%, and the average daily expenditure grew by 0.9%, up to 187 euros.
