The GDP fell 1.3% in 2012, unemployment rose to 25%, the ransom demand to the European Union (EU) is still the sword of Damocles hanging over the economic management of the government led by Mariano Rajoy, PP. However, tourism remains the lifeline to which Spain can continue clinging to weather the storm. Nearly 58 million international tourists arrived in Spain last year, over a million (or 3%) than in 2011, as announced on Wednesday the Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism Jose Manuel Soria. This is the third best year on record in terms of tourist arrivals.
The previous record was two years in 2006 (58.4 million) and 2007 (59.2 million). "2012 has been a good year for tourism," said Soria, who has advanced handled forecasts indicate that in 2013 also "grow visitor arrivals and spending and overnight stays in the country doing" .
During the last 12 months, beyond quantitative growth, also saw a qualitative. Average spending per person rose 2.7% to 968 euros, the same way, the average daily consumption rose by 6.8% to 109 euros. The total expenditure of tourists in Spain amounted to 55,700 million euros, 5.9% more than in 2011. This compendium of positive data Soria led to remember that even "11.9% of workers do in tourism", in the context of an economy that is on the verge of reaching the six million unemployed.
Growth came from the combination of the strong performance of "fisheries" traditional, UK, Germany and France, and the rise of emerging countries, Russia, Brazil, China and India. In Europe, France led the growth with a rise of 6.7% in the number of tourists visiting Spain Gauls, Germany grew by 4.1% and the UK 0.6%. The downside was Italy, which fell by 4.2%.
Emerging countries increase their importance for tourism in Spain
According to estimates released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in October, the Italian economy contracted by 2.3% in 2012 and back up by 0.7% in 2013. As sonsecuencia of this, unemployment will rise from 8.4% in 2011 to be above 11% in 2013. To this must be added the uncertainty in the eurozone on what games will be part of the coalition government that will emerge from the polls in February. Therefore, a team led by Soria does not expect an improvement in the behavior of the Italian market in the immediate future.
Emerging countries consolidate their increasing importance for Spanish tourism. A special case is Russia. Visitors from the country increased by 43% compared to 2011 and exceeded one million people. Moreover, the average expenditure per person was 1536 euros, well above the average. A similar case is Brazil, over 350,000 people visited Spain from the South American giant in 2012, a year creimiento 7.9%, with an average cost of 1,800 euros per person. China and India crecienron 50% and 87% respectively with average payouts over 1,700 euros.
Soria identified as crown jewel "model of sun and sand", but acknowledged that the new visitors from the Asian market seeking an offer turístia "rural, cultural, culinary, urban".
Domestic tourism offered a less positive balance. Although travel increased by 0.5%, travel down the hotel in favor of homeownership and made to relatives or friends.
Tourism forecasts for 2013 undergo consolidation trends last year. UK, Germany and France continue to be safe bets, Russia consolidate its growth, followed by the expansion of Asian visitors. Southern Europe, mainly Italy, come not great news.
Visitors by regions
Catalonia leads clearly the improvement in the number of visits, growing by 9.8%. The Minister explained that due to the large influx of French tourists. Balearic up 3.6% and 2.1% Madrid. On the negative side are Andalusia and Canary losing 1.7% and 0.8% respectively. Soria has argued that his team considers that the effect of the Arab Spring in 2011 greatly benefited both communities, who have now lost some of those gains.
