MADRID, Spain – Spain’s tourism season is underway. But of the 65 million tourists that visit the country, less than 300,000 will come from China. Spain wants to treble that number in the next five years and hotels and tourist hot-spots have already begun the process of becoming more Chinese friendly.
Spain attracts some 65 million tourists each year, making it the third most visited country in the world. Of that number, some 290,000 arrived from China. Although that is a 14 percent increase on the previous year, it fades in comparison to the 2.2 million Chinese tourists that visited France. Spain has been slow to attract China’s tourists.
