July 2017 has pulverized all existing tourism records in Spain
July has pulverized all existing tourism records in Spain. Never before have so many foreign visitors arrived in the country in a single month: 10.51 million, compared with the previous record of 10.02 million, which was set in August of last year, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE).
The industry now awaits the figures for August, which is traditionally the strongest month for tourism. It remains to be seen whether the terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils will have an effect on those numbers.
