Spain: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional

Spanish tourism is rapidly recovering from the effects of the pandemic and reaching pre-pandemic levels due to a robust rebound in national tourism, partially compensating for the still lower number of foreign visitors. From January through August, 57.3 million tourists arrived in Spain, 10 percent higher than the previous year. In addition, Spaniards have returned to eating and drinking away from home, boosting demand in the Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional (HRI) sector. As a result, the HRI sector in Spain offers excellent opportunities for U.S. food-ingredient and food-product exporters.
