Authorities say Spain has seen a record 38 million tourists in the first seven months of the year as a weak euro and security issues in other beach resort nations like Tunisia make it a more attractive destination.<\/p>\n

The state tourism office said Friday the January-through-July figure was 4.7 percent up on the record set in the same period in 2014. British tourist arrivals, at nearly nine million, topped the list for the period.<\/p>\n

The tourism office said July saw a record number of 8.8 million visitors, up 6.3 percent on July 2014.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy says the country expects a record 68 million tourists for all of 2015, three million more than the record set in 2014.<\/p>\n

Tourists arriving from Britain increased by 3.5 percent to 8.7 million in the first seven months of the year, accounting for 23 percent of the total.<\/p>\n

They were followed by the French, whose arrivals reached 6.1 million, increasing by 7.8 percent on a year-on-year basis.<\/p>\n

The number of German visitors reached 5.8 million until July which meant a 1.3-percent rise when compared with a year earlier; they were followed by visitors from Nordic countries and Italy whose arrivals reached 2.9 million and 2.1 million respectively.<\/p>\n

The northeastern region of Catalonia was the most popular destination with 9.77 million international tourists in the first seven months of the year.<\/p>\n

It was followed by the archipelagos of the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands which hosted 6.59 million and 6.52 million tourists respectively.<\/p>\n

Spain is the second country in the world in terms of tourism spending and the third in terms of international visitors after France and the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
