✈️ Spain’s GCC Tourism Growth Mapped 🌍✨

In 2024, Spain reached a significant milestone, welcoming over 550,000 visitors from the GCC region—a remarkable 20% increase compared to 2023 and an incredible 60% growth since 2019.

Under the leadership of Ruiz González, the newly appointed Director of Spain's Tourist Office for GCC countries, the focus has been on sustainability and avoiding overtourism. Key initiatives include:

- Encouraging visits to diverse destinations within Spain, including hidden gems like Seville, Córdoba, Granada, and the lush northern region, "Green Spain."

- Highlighting luxury experiences, from world-class shopping in Madrid's Gran Vía and Barcelona's Passeig de Gràcia to award-winning golf courses.

- Streamlining VAT refund processes, making Spain an even more appealing destination for travelers.

Collaboration is key to this success, with Spain working alongside Austria and Germany to host workshops and attract key buyers from the GCC. These efforts are laying the foundation for sustainable, year-round tourism that benefits not just visitors but also local communities.

The future looks bright for Spain’s tourism sector as it continues to innovate and adapt.
