The Spanish economy has seen a significant boost in its tourism sector as strategic markets including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the United States have increased their tourist expenditure in Spain by over 10% from January to August this year. These statistics were shared by tourism advisors from these countries during the IV Turespaña Convention last week.
