Hi there,
I’m trying to pull together some statistics of tourists visiting Andalucia – ideally I’d like an overview from beginning 2008 until now, and to get an idea of what percentage of visitors are British, as well as how much they are paying to stay in self catering accommodation.
Any suggestions as to how I can get hold of these figures??
Hi Melanie,
You can try the Statistics Institute of the Junta de Andalucia at http://www.juntadeandalucia.es:9002/index.html. They have lots of general data, including statistics about foreign visitors.
You may also want to contact the British Consulate. They probably have specifics data relevant to your question.
Good luck
