El sector turístico español afronta 2026 con bases sólidas y perspectivas favorables, tras la normalización del crecimiento pospandemia. En 2025, España reafirmó su liderazgo internacional al recibir 97 millones de turistas extranjeros y alcanzar un gasto turístico récord de 135.000 millones de euros, consolidándose como la segunda potencia mundial del sector. El PIB turístico creció un 2,7% y se prevé que mantenga un avance anual sostenido en torno al 2,5%-2,7% en los próximos años. El sector presenta un perfil más equilibrado, marcado por la diversificación geográfica de los destinos y una menor estacionalidad de la demanda. Además, el turismo de lujo se posiciona como segmento estratégico para incrementar el valor añadido del sector, y el turismo silver, para desestacionalizar la demanda y dinamizar las áreas rurales. Por otro lado, el sector de la restauración requiere mayor profesionalización y modelos de negocio más escalables para mejorar su resiliencia.
