Not enough spending

Many visitors are only going through France or Paris and spend very little. When a tourist leaves an average of 2,000 euros in the United States, he spent 1000 in Spain and only 650 euros in France. Last year, Spain has posted record revenues of € 59 billion, up nearly 10% when France is under $ 40 billion.
