El sector turístic espanyol afronta el 2026 amb unes bases sòlides i amb unes perspectives favorables, després de la normalització del creixement postpandèmia. El 2025, Espanya va reafirmar el seu lideratge internacional, ja que va rebre 97 milions de turistes estrangers i va assolir una despesa turística rècord de 135.000 milions d’euros, i es va consolidar com la segona potència mundial del sector. El PIB turístic va créixer el 2,7% i es preveu que mantingui un avanç anual sostingut al voltant del 2,5%-2,7% els propers anys. El sector presenta un perfil més equilibrat, marcat per la diversificació geogràfica de les destinacions i per una menor estacionalitat de la demanda. A més a més, el turisme de luxe es posiciona com a segment estratègic per incrementar el valor afegit del sector, i el turisme silver, per desestacionalitzar la demanda i dinamitzar les àrees rurals. D’altra banda, el sector de la restauració requereix més professionalització i models de negoci més escalables per millorar-ne la resiliència.
