The number of tourists visiting Spain from January to April 2011, exceeded the government's expectations, according to Kyero.com. According to the words of the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Trade of Spain, Miguel Sebastian, the first four months of this year, Spain has 13.8 million tourists, which is 8.5% more than in the corresponding period last year. In addition, the highest rate in 11 years. If we evaluate the number of tourists visiting Spain only in April, the increase was 21%. The most impressive growth of the tourist flow in April (compared to April 2010) have shown the Canary Islands (+ 52.5%), Balearic Islands (+ 31.5%) and Andalusia (+ 27%). However, the Minister said that last year the tourism sector has negatively affected the volcanic eruption and cancellation of European flights in March - early April. Projections for the summer is very good: Spain prepares to take on 10% more tourists from the main directions - from the UK, Germany and France. A source: Kyero.com
