Last July, the Balearic Islands recorded the highest average daily expenditure per tourist in a month of July. This is revealed by the Tourism Expenditure Survey (Egatur) published today by the National Statistics Institute. The average daily expenditure per tourist was 187 euros, 10% above the national average. In the first seven months of the year the average daily expenditure per tourist is also at its highest level, 174 euros, 8% above the national average.

According to Egatur, in the first seven months of this year the Balearic Islands accumulated spending of 8,623 million euros by international tourists during their holidays in the archipelago. This figure represents 4% more than in 2019, when total spending at this point in the year was 8,304 million euros. This is despite the fact that the number of arrivals is still below that of that year. In the month of July alone, total expenditure was 2,806 million euros.

In terms of arrivals, the islands have managed to recover the tourism lost during the pandemic caused by COVID 19, achieving an increase in profitability thanks to the higher spending by visitors. Thus, the Balearic Islands closed July with a total of 2.81 million tourists, both national and international. For the fourth consecutive month the islands have been able to register the same number of tourists as in July 2019.
