The typical tourist profile in Destination Barcelona remains quite similar to the previous months: a 36.4-year-old person, who has traveled for leisure (76.0%), as a couple (50.6%) and who has visited the destination municipality 6.1 times on average. Only 53.7% of visitors had never been to the municipality where they were staying, compared to 24.7% who had stayed there before 4 or more times in the last 10 years.

During the stay, which 5.6 days on average, tasting gastronomy (88.0%) and taking quiet and relaxing walks (87.4%) have been, once again, the most popular activities. Noteworthy the increase in tourists who have gone to shopping, to the beach and made cultural visits and/or an excursion outside the overnight municipality during their stay at the Destination, motivated by

reasons of leisure and as a family.

A 9.9%-increase in the total expense during the stay per person per day has been observed compared to the previous months, with a value of €67.02. Also, as historically, most of this expenditure is still spent on food and drink, followed, in that order, by culture, shopping and internal transport.
