The Spanish tourism sector reached a historic milestone in the third quarter of 2024: with 3,019,064 employees, the industry surpassed the 3 million mark for the first time, as Turespa\u00f1a reports. This corresponds to growth of 2.3% compared to the previous year and makes tourism a key economic driver in the country, accounting for 13.8% of total employment.<\/p>

Stable jobs, rising figures<\/strong>
The quality of employment is developing particularly positively:<\/p>

  • Permanent employment contracts increased
    4.3%, while fixed-term contracts
    decreased by 5.1%.<\/li>
  • Full-time jobs accounted for 79.4%
    of jobs - an increase of 4.3%.<\/li>
  • The number of self-employed
    grew by 2% to 467,629.<\/li><\/ul>

    The largest increases were recorded in passenger transport (+7%) and the hotel and catering industry (+3.4%).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Regional winners and losers<\/strong>
    Catalonia tops the list with 561,972 employees (9.4% more than in 2023), followed by Andalusia, Madrid and the Comunidad Valenciana. The strong growth in less typical tourist destinations such as Cantabria (+16.6%) and Castilla y Le\u00f3n (+11.5%) is also noteworthy and underlines the trend towards diversification of tourist destinations.
    However, not all regions are benefiting equally: Employment is down in the Balearic Islands, Galicia, Castilla-La Mancha and other areas, highlighting the regional differences in the sector's recovery. Nevertheless, at 8.1%, the unemployment rate in tourism remains well below the national average of 11.2%.<\/p>

    A sector with a tailwind<\/strong>
    The record employment figures show how important tourism remains for Spain's economic recovery. With growing stability and a broader distribution of jobs, the sector is better prepared for future challenges - even if regional differences remain an open construction site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
