Spain as the perfect travel location
Northern Europe chooses Spain as its most desirable destination for holidaymakers, with the main source markets being Dutch, English and Germans. Spanish travellers will also continue to choose national destinations this summer, with reservations for Spain accounting to 86% of the total made so far.
There has been a noticeable increase in reservations across Spain. Accommodation reservation rates alone have risen by 28% by both Spanish and foreign guests. There has been a 34% increase in reservations by Belgian travellers, 30% more French and up to 110% German.
Throughout 2022, there has also been an increase in tourists from other nationalities, like Norwegians and Danes. Visible in relation to the recovery of Covid-19 and its implications, society seems to have much more confidence in travelling abroad in the coming year.
Travelling to Spain for summer 2022
The trend for the coming summer is that those from Northern Europe have a preference for Spain. The months of July and August in 2022, will see increased home reservations from the British at +115%. Home reservations by Germans have increased by +66%, +45% by Belgians, and +28% by French. Domestic tourism reservations in general rose by an incredible 90%.
Trends in holiday booking to Spain: Sun and the beach in Barcelona
Trends in booking destinations by Europeans seem to consist of places by the coast. It is no surprise that people from England, the Netherlands, Germany and France fancy soaking up the sun at the beach. Although diversified, the majority of reservations do seem to be predominantly beach destinations.
If you know Barcelona, although it is of course an incredible destination for delicious food, unique gardens and marvellous architecture, it also has the most incredible beaches. The seaside in Barcelona is the perfect place to relax, to soak up the sun, to make the most of the golden sand and to admire the dazzling deep waters.
If you don’t know Barcelona, it is somewhere you must see for yourself. To walk down its streets, to meet its locals, to relax and learn about the little things in the city.
