Spain considers ‘new law’ for tourists as number of Brits visiting continues to rise

Spain is considering implementing a new law to manage the increasing number of British tourists visiting the Canary Islands. Booking statistics show a 55.4% rise in UK bookings since 2018, totaling 22.3 million annually. The proposed legislation aims to regulate short-term rentals amid concerns about overcrowding and overtourism. Despite protests from locals, Brits remain the top visitors to Spain, accounting for 17.1% of total spending in 2024.
