Tourism grows: more workers in travel agencies and tour operators in just three months

The Active Population Survey (EPA) reflects the unstoppable growth of tourism in Spain with hiring data in agencies and tour operators

 

According to data from the Active Population Survey (EPA) published today, the tourism sector in Spain does not stop growing. A growth that is transferred to the country's business fabric, with more than 6.500 hires in agencies and tour operators in three months.

 

In addition, there is a growth of more than 300 workers in the sector compared to last year, with figures exceeding 70.700 workers to the detriment of the 70.400 registered in 2022. These figures also exceed those of 2019, the last year before the pandemic, when the number of workers in this same period barely exceeded 70.500. 

 

However, these data do not exceed those of 2018, where almost 20.000 more workers were reached in this sector during the same period. 

 

Of the more than 70.700 workers in the sector, 64% are women and 36% men.
