Spain: 7 Million Travellers Reached the Country Through Air in April
In a statement issued today, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, stressed that the projected good Easter campaign had boosted the rate of recovery of tourist flows in April, confirming a gradual upward trend that has been maintained since the beginning of the year, AtoZSerwisPlus.com reports.
“The islands practically reach pre-pandemic levels thanks to the reactivation of the two main tourist markets for Spain: the United Kingdom and Germany, which ratifies the good performance of the holiday segment to date,” she pointed out in this regard.
According to government data, in April, international air passengers arriving in the Canary Islands reached 1,110,216 people, which is only 0.2 per cent less than arrivals for the same month in 2019, driven mainly by travellers from the United Kingdom and Germany.
In addition, Southern Tenerife and Fuerteventura Airports exceeded pre-pandemic values by 4.1 per cent and 0.1 per cent, respectively.
As for the Balearic Islands, arrivals by air resulted in 1,139,613, representing a recovery rate of 96.8 per cent pre-pandemic, with the German market as the main country of origin.
