Madrid.—Spain announced yesterday it has retaken the number three spot in world tourism in 2013, overtaking China by luring a record 60.6 million international visitors.
Foreign tourist arrivals surged by 5.6 percent in the year, the government said, boosting the eurozone’s fourth largest economy after a long, job-wrecking recession.
“The new figures for 2013 allow our country to retake the number three position in this indicator after having overtaken China,” Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said.
