The island maintains its revenue growth despite a slight increase in visitors and a reduction in length of stay.
Tourism in Gran Canaria generated €2,003.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, a 6.17% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.
This growth is accompanied by a moderate increase in visitors, of 1%, confirming that the sector is gaining revenue per tourist rather than from overall volume.
The average expenditure per stay was €1,620.75, and daily spending reached €183.93, according to ISTAC data.
By market, Germany led the growth in spending, followed by the Netherlands, while the Nordic countries remain the main source of tourists in terms of total spending.
The United Kingdom experienced more moderate growth, and domestic spending decreased during this period.
