Domestic Tourism: Domestic tourist expenditure in 2022 rebounded significantly owing to the easing of restrictions, increased vaccination rates, and pent-up demand for travel.

Furthermore, Spain’s economy is anticipated to expand in the next five years as it continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, international travel confidence will be restored, incomes will rise, inflation will be contained, and residents will generally have greater disposable income.
