1 Insight Department: Spanish Visitors to Scotland September 2018

2 Welcome The Spanish Visitors to Scotland factsheet provides the latest data and trends on the volume and value of visitors from Spain to Scotland from the International Passenger Survey (IPS). A Typical Visitor from Spain to Scotland Compared to other European countries, visitors from Spain tend to be younger with a larger proportion of visitors being under the age of 34 years old. They are also more likely to be visiting Scotland for the first time, in contrast to Northern European visitors. Spanish residents have up to 14 public holidays a year, some of which are puentes (bridging days) which allows them to benefit from several long weekends. For this reason Spanish visitors tend to enjoy short breaks as much as possible Touring and city breaks are popular types of break in Scotland for the Spanish visitor. Where they are also keen to visit religious buildings (churches, cathedrals). Typically they travel with a partner or spouse, or with friends and children. Word of mouth recommendation by friends, relatives and colleagues has a strong influence on the Spanish visitor (above average). They are also very influenced by social media. Traveller submitted photos, videos and comments are all popular types of inspiration when planning their trip. Scotland is easily accessible to Spaniards directly by plane, and factors such as cost of plane tickets are very persuasive to them when booking holidays. Most will be visiting from Madrid, the Valencian Community, Catalonia or the Andalusia areas of Spain.

8 2. Volume/Value trend Source: IPS, Sum of Visits (000s) Sum of Spend ( m) In 2017, the volume and value of Spanish visitors to Scotland increased on 2016, with Scotland welcoming 122,000 people from Spain, spending a total of 109 million. The total number of nights is equivalent to that seen from Spanish visitors in 2016, indicating a larger number of shorter, higher spend trips taking place in Ease of access to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, predominately from lower cost airlines, could allow our Spanish sightseers greater budget to spend whilst visiting. Spanish visitors are more likely that other markets to visit Scotland out of the traditional tourist season. Between 2015 and 2017, over a quarter of visitors from Spain travelled to Scotland during Q1 January to March, offering up opportunities to businesses in Scotland to sustainably extend their operation in to the should months. In recent years, a greater proportion of visitors from Spain have been holidaying in Scotland, with a reduction in those visiting friends and relatives. As holiday visitors tend to spend more than those visiting friends and family, this change in behaviour, coupled with favourable exchange rates, should lead to growth in the value of Spanish visitors to Scotland.

14 APPENDIX: International Passenger Survey 2017 USING AND INTERPRETING STATISTICAL DATA Source: Data is sourced from the Office for National Statistics International Passenger Survey (IPS). Information about the survey can be found on the VisitBritain website (Insights & Statistics section) or the Office for National Statistics website Sample Sizes: Analysis of sub-groups, such as trips by purpose or demographic group, relies on small sample sizes that can be unreliable. Where this is a particular issue, methods to aggregate data, such as using a 3-year average instead of single-year data, have been used. Before using the data, it is important to recognise the limitations of using a small sample size. Further information, including methodology and sample sizes, can be found on the VisitBritain website (Insights & Statistics section).
