He also explained that the aim is to increase the amount of money spent by British tourists on the Costa del Sol and to encourage them to stay longer. “Figures show that spending and length of stay both increased during the first eight months of this year, compared with 2019, and that is the challenge we have set ourselves,” he said.
During that time the average amount spent by tourists from the UK was 1,157 euros, which was an increase of 15.5%. They also stayed for an average of 7.5 days, which was 2% longer than three years previously.

Salado also stressed the importance of big data and actively listening to this market, to keep up-to-date with what the British market wants. He said there needs to be an action plan which is flexible and open to any situation which may arise, and mentioned the uncertainties resulting from Brexit, depreciation of the pound, inflation and political instability in the UK.
