Overseas visitors set to top 1 billion as Spain hosts World Tourism Day
The host nation, Spain, is a prime example with the nation being the second most visited country of the world after France, thanks to its geography and rich cultural scene. In the first eight months of this year alone, Spain received 40.7 million international visitors; this was 3.6% more than in the same period of 2011. Tourism has always been an economic driver for Spain, even when the chips are down and this is why it is important we celebrate its value.
