The Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI) 2024 evaluates 119 economies across five key dimensions: Enabling Environment, Travel & Tourism (T&T) Policy & Enabling Conditions, Infrastructure and Services, T&T Resources, and T&T Sustainability. The United Kingdom secured the seventh spot on the list, further emphasizing the competitive landscape among leading global tourism destinations.

The TTDI 2024 represents the second edition of this index, evolving from the renowned Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) series.

The country is well-known for its vibrant cities, historic sites, and breathtaking natural scenery, making it a top destination for travelers from around the globe. With its ongoing investments in tourism infrastructure and sustainable practices, Spain continues to enhance its appeal as a premier global destination.

Moreover, the index underscores the importance of strategic policies and frameworks that facilitate a favorable environment for travel and tourism. Spain’s commitment to improving its tourism policies and enhancing visitor experiences plays a crucial role in maintaining its competitive edge.

As countries continue to navigate the complexities of the travel landscape, Spain’s strong performance in the TTDI serves as a model for how to effectively leverage tourism for economic development and global competitiveness.
