As reported by the National Institute of Statistics of Spain (INE), in quantitative terms, the growth in the number of tourists in January increased by 70 thousand people compared to the figures of a year ago.

Growth in daily spending

The total amount of spending by tourists arriving in the Canary Islands exceeded € 2.2 billion. The average daily spending of tourists increased by 6.9% and amounted to about € 190 per day. The increase in tourist arrivals helped to maintain the growth in total spending.

The Canary Islands remain the largest destination for international tourists in Spain. They accounted for around 27.8% of the country’s tourist traffic in January. The largest share comes from the UK (897,000), Germany (527,000) and France (518,000).
