Spain experienced an all-time high in international tourist arrivals in July this year, reaching 7.7 million visitors, an increase of 4.4% over the same month in 2011 according to the Survey of Tourist Border Movements (Frontur) prepared by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As well as this, the survey identified that from January to July this year, the Iberian nation received 33 million tourists, representing a rise of 3.3% year-on-year further highlighting the positive trend seen throughout 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In terms of visitor nationalities, French, German and British tourists contributed most to July’s increase in arrivals with 1.76 million British tourists flocking to Spain. French tourists represented the second biggest source market with 1.27 million tourists, a 7.7% increase over the previous year while 1.17 million German visitors also made Spain their preferred destination in July.<\/p>\n

Marc Pritchard<\/strong>, Sales and Marketing Manager of leading Spanish house builder Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a <\/strong>comments,<\/p>\n

“Spain is a consistently popular holiday destination; one that I believe will never lose its appeal. Tourism is vital to the Spanish economy so it is great to see that the nation still continues to break records. German tourists in particular are on the up once again – we have seen a big jump in enquiries for Spanish property from this market.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The construction sector is performing well too after a slump in activity. In June, Spain had the second highest increase in construction sector activity across the Eurozone with a rise of 1.3%. Currently we have approximately 135 units under construction with most of these due to be finished and handed over to the new owners by the end of this year. We are also looking to begin construction of 75 new properties before year end with more in the pipeline for 2013. Our construction rates this year will far exceed levels we saw back in 2011!”<\/p>\n

For property hunters looking for high quality affordable property Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a has some excellent properties on offer in Spain at only 4% VAT until the end 2012.<\/p>\n
