Spain sets tourism record despite affordability issues

Estimates indicate that Spain expects to welcome around 43 million international tourists during the summer, representing a six percent increase compared to 2025, with spending nearing 64 billion euros. However, 32.2% of the population still cannot afford a weekly vacation outside the home, despite a decrease of 1.2 points compared to the previous year. This situation reflects economic challenges faced by households, with 45% struggling to cover housing costs and 42% having difficulty affording food. These circumstances lead to reduced travel expenses, as many shorten their vacations and seek cheaper options. Experts confirm that rising living costs remain a barrier for many, emphasizing that holidays are not a luxury but a necessity for physical and mental well-being.
