The total expenditure of international tourists increased by 7.8%, reaching €50,257 million (US$57,448).
Analysts attributed the increase to a combination of factors, including the continued recovery of long-haul travel, particularly from the Americas, a rebound in business travel, and growing demand for destinations seen as safe and stable amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, Euronews reported.
Spain welcomed 96.8 million foreign tourists last year, a 3.2% increase from 2024, making it the second most visited country globally, behind France with 105 million visitors.
