Spain is the second most visited country worldwide, with 85 million visitors in 2019 that
spent more than 90,000 million euros. Tourism provides 13% of jobs, only to be stopped by
Covid. To prevent the total destruction of tourism, the government provided a partial salary
to workers, which lasted from march 2020 to march 2022. This meant unemployment and
the number of tourist businesses remained stable.
In 2018, the majority of tourists were English at 25%. Spain is most popular for its climate,
followed second by having friends or relatives in the country.
La oferta turística española
“El turismo de sol y playa” constitutes 65% of all tourism in Spain, due to its natural beauty
and weather, and lack of competition. “El turismo cultural y de ciudad” is the second most
popular, as Spain has a wide variety of UNESCO heritage sites and a rich history.
El turismo y el mundo laboral
Tourism is an essential part of the Spanish economy, and it’s expected to regain its former
glory after the pandemic by 2024. However, although Exceltur (which represents the 33
most important tourism businesses in Spain) claims that the salaries are high, workers
claim otherwise.
For example, “la subcontratacion laboral” is when a person works in one place, but has a
contract signed with another business. These workers earn 40% less than those with direct
contracts. One activist group, called Las Kellys (“las que limpian”), is a waiter-based
association that fights for better wages and working right through protests and social
media, and have earnt the support of many politicians. This has resulted in the SMI
(“salario minimo interprofesional) increasing.
Immigrants are also an exploited group, especially those without “el permiso de
residencia” called “sin papeles”. They are paid below minimum wage and have few
working rights; although Spain punishes human trafficking, they give little attention to
labour exploitation of illegal immigrants.
