The turnover in the travel agency activities sector in Spain has seen significant fluctuations over the past decade. After a steady increase from 2013 to 2019, reaching 21.22 billion euros in 2019, the industry faced a dramatic decline in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, dropping to 5.3 billion euros. However, it rebounded quickly, with a remarkable 162.7% increase in 2021 and a steady recovery trend onwards, reaching 23.99 billion euros in 2023, translating to a 21.67% year-on-year growth for that year.

Looking ahead, from 2024 to 2028, the turnover is forecasted to grow steadily, with a 5-year CAGR of 1.61%. This indicates a positive yet moderated growth trajectory compared to the rapid rebound observed post-pandemic.

Future trends to watch for:

The impact of technological advancements and digitization on travel agency operations.
Changes in consumer behavior towards sustainable and experiential travel.
Potential disruptions from geopolitical or economic uncertainties that could influence travel demand.
