According to the National Statistics Institute, international tourist spending in Spain reached seventy-six billion and seventy-four million euros by July two thousand twenty-five. This marks an increase of seven point two percent compared to the same period in two thousand twenty-four. In the first seven months of two thousand twenty-five, Spain welcomed more than fifty-five million international tourists, reflecting a growth of four point one percent in comparison to last year. This trend of increasing expenditure outpaces the growth in visitor numbers, which has moderated in recent months.

The UK has been the leading country in terms of overall expenditure, accounting for seventeen point six percent of the total. This is followed by Germany at eleven point seven percent and France at eight point one percent. The regions with the highest accumulated spending include the Canary Islands at eighteen point five percent, Catalonia at eighteen point two percent, and the Balearic Islands at fifteen point three percent. In terms of visitor numbers, the UK again tops the list with almost eleven million visitors, an increase of four point three percent from the previous year.

In July alone, Spain received eleven million international tourists, who collectively spent over sixteen billion four hundred and fifty-two million euros. This represents a six point one percent growth in spending compared to the same month last year, while visitor numbers rose by only one point six percent. On average, each visitor spent one thousand four hundred and ninety-three euros, with daily spending averaging two hundred and ten euros, reflecting an annual increase of six point nine percent.

Regions such as the Balearic Islands emerged as the top destinations in July, attracting over two and a half million visitors, which is a one percent increase year on year. Catalonia and Andalusia also recorded significant numbers, with more than two million and one point five million respectively. Overall, Spain continues to see robust growth in international tourism, particularly in terms of spending, despite a slight slowdown in visitor arrivals.
