Ibiza’s Spanish tourist becomes ‘lowest cost’ in five years

Tourists from other parts of Spain, less money spent per person During his stay in Ibiza and Formentera. Despite this, per capita income corresponding to Spanish travelers remained stable throughout the series, unlike what was happening with their foreign peers, according to data published by the Balearic Institute of Statistics (Ibestat).

The breakdown of international tourism data by country shows that most of the pandemic decline in spending Travelers not traveling from the UK or Germany. Thus, people of these nationalities have hardly reduced the average amount they spend on their stay in Ibiza and Formentera. However, this decline was offset by an almost instantaneous return to 2019 levels in the following years.

Spending per person and per day

When it comes to per capita and daily expenditure, the data provided by Ibestat confirms this trend. Therefore, it has been demonstrated once again that Spanish tourists have been far from the consumption levels of those coming from other countries in recent years, but they have been little affected by the pandemic. However, the overall recovery first half of 2022 It is accomplished by an increase in the budget each Spaniard allocates daily for their stay in Pitiusas.

However, per capita daily budget figures foreign visitors They were also unaffected by the situation triggered by covid-19. This may be due to a change in the spending pattern of such travelers, where they choose to spend less time in Ibiza and Formentera despite the same daily spend.

Total tourist expenditure

From a general point of view, the total tourist revenue from Spanish travelers was much lower than that from Spanish travelers. foreign visitors during the series years. Considering that the differences in expenditure per capita are not very large, this can be explained by the fact that the number of foreign travelers visiting Pitiusa is much higher than the number of citizens.

However, we are witnessing once again a trend during the pandemic that shows that tourists from other parts of Spain stick to Ibiza and Formentera more than those who have had to travel from other countries. Thus, the drop in revenue from tourism in Pitiusas during the pandemic can be attributed to an extraordinary drop in overall expenditures. foreign visitors.

Regarding the figures first half of 2022, total spending levels were confirmed to have already exceeded half of those recorded in the full previous year for all items. Therefore, although it remains to be seen whether the record figures recorded in 2019 will be reached, we can predict that 2022 will be a season of recovery in tourism in terms of total revenue.
