Isabel Oliver told TTG she hoped for some growth in the country’s 83 million tourists – but she remained conscious of a number of potential headwinds.
Identifying the UK as the country’s biggest market – 14.8 million British visitors to September, representing a slight decrease of 1.6% – she mentioned Brexit, the collapse of Thomas Cook and the UK’s upcoming general election as having the potential to impact growth.
The UK represents 22% of Spain’s tourism volume and 20% of expenditure.
