MADRID (Reuters) -Spain expects even more tourists to flock to the country in 2025 after an estimated record 94 million foreigners visited last year, 10% more than in 2023, Tourism Minister Jordi Hereu said on Wednesday, helping to drive economic growth amid a wider European slowdown, <\/p>\n

Foreign tourists spent some 126 billion euros ($130 billion) during their stays in 2024, up 16% from the previous year, the minister said. He predicted they would spend 36 billion euros in the first four months of 2025, also 16% higher than in the same period of 2024, while visitor numbers should rise by 9%.<\/p>\n

The tourist boom has become a source of tension in many visitor hotspots around the country, with cities like Barcelona planning to shut all short-term rentals by 2028 to protect locals from rising housing costs. <\/p>\n

Hereu said the Spanish government is working on evening out the tourist influx, citing progress in setting rules and limits on the supply of rental accommodation for tourists.<\/p>\n

“We need to persevere in deconcentrating tourism, but the good thing is that this is happening,” he told reporters, adding that environmentally sustainable tourism was gaining strength in Spain.<\/p>\n

In October last year, the Bank of Spain said in a report that even though most tourism-related indicators were registering consecutive records, their growth was slowing down. <\/p>\n

It also warned about tourism-related problems of congestion, natural resource degradation and housing, and called for a study on whether tourism fees should be increased.<\/p>\n
