Number of tourists visiting Spain from abroad in October fell 87%

International tourist arrivals to Spain fell 87% year-on-year in October, official data showed on Wednesday, after authorities imposed new travel restrictions to curb an increase in coronavirus infections.

Over the first ten months of the year, some 17.9 million foreign tourists visited Spain, around 76% fewer than in the same period of 2019, the National Statistics Institute (INE) said.

Tourists spent 90% less in October than in the same month a year ago, INE said.
