Summer volunteers

Laura de Arce, the regional Director for Tourism, shared her delight, explaining, “The upward tick in tourism during the past few months continues, which strengthens our destination’s reputation for excellence. We are also attracting a group of visitors with greater purchasing power, who opt for longer and more luxurious stays.”
In May alone, Marbella welcomed an impressive 73,479 guests, including 60,909 international travellers and 12,570 domestic tourists.
De Arce highlighted a particularly noteworthy trend; the number of French tourists has doubled compared to 2019, a year that was hailed as the industry’s golden year prior to the pandemic.
“While the overall number of tourists hasn’t skyrocketed, an equally crucial factor, average length of stay, has shown remarkable growth,” De Arce added. This growth translated into a recordbreaking 300,669 overnight stays, a feat that has never been witnessed before.
Marbella’s latest tourism triumph cements the city’s reputation as a global hotspot for luxury and leisure.
