Tourism Brings €3 Billion To Andalucia

In the first quarter of 2017, foreign tourists have brought a massive €3 billion to the economy in Andalucia.  This huge figure is a 15% increase on the same period from last year.  Spending by British tourists has increased, despite Brexit worries and a floundering pound.

Andalucia is third in the national table for areas in Spain bringing in foreign tourism money, behind Catalonia and the Canary Islands.  Last year Spain brought in a record breaking €77 billion from tourism.
