Tourism in Spain continues to grow strongly

Spain received 93.8 million visitors in 2024, %, an increase of almost 11 % compared to the previous year, consolidating its position as the second most visited country in the world.

In addition to the 5.3 million international tourists, visitors are predominantly from France and Germany. Therefore, in The Open Faculty we are committed to the French and German in the curriculum of the Degree in Tourism, because it is not an option to lag behind in such a globalised sector.

According to the UN Tourism, Spain - the second country in the world with the second highest tourism revenues - experienced a growth of 9% in the first two months of 2025 (compared to the same period in 2024), following an extraordinary increase of 16% throughout 2024.
