Barcelona tourism management
Urban tourism has become a global phenomenon in recent years, drawing 30 million visitors to Barcelona each year.
The visitor economy employs over 150,000 people, accounts for about 14% of GDP, and generates an expenditure of 8.8 billion euros. Barcelona is working on a strategy to manage tourism, promote geographical decentralisation and diversification of the tourist offer, invest in strategic promotion, and maintain a balance with city life.
Regular cleaning services will continue in the city following an agreement between the unions and the cleaning companies.
The new plan prioritises cultural options and the digital transition. The closure report for 2024 reflects a stabilisation in the flow of visitors and an impact touching on 10,000 million euros.
Accessibility was one of the key factors taken into account when revamping the website.
