Spain’s tourism secretary has opened up to TTG on the country’s efforts to ensure it remains the UK’s number one holiday destination, as well as its plans for the 2030 Fifa World Cup – and she had a simple message too for agents concerned about new EU border rules: “Don’t worry.”

Morillo hailed 'the continued trust [in Spain] of the British traveller'

Speaking exclusively to TTG, the country’s secretary of state for tourism, Rosana Morillo, said 2023 had been an “extraordinary year” for Spain, one in which the country was able to grow tourism income compared with 2019 even though visitor numbers are yet to fully recover to pre-pandemic levels – a feat she attributed to “the continued trust of the British traveller”.

“Spain is really thankful,” said Morillo. “It’s a classic destination for British tourists, and we’re always trying to improve our offer.”
