Spanish tourism industry representatives are urging the European Union to remove the 90-day limit placed on visits by British citizens, arguing that the post-Brexit rule is harming tourism demand. According to the reports, Spain’s tourism sector depends significantly on visitors from the United Kingdom, both for traditional holidays and for longer stays linked to second-home ownership. The 90-day restriction is presented as a key factor limiting how long some British visitors can remain within a 180-day period, which in turn can reduce spending and the attractiveness of repeat travel. The calls focus on revising the EU-wide policy governing short stays rather than changing Spanish measures. The tourism representatives contend that easing or ending the cap would support the sector’s recovery and help maintain links between Spain and UK holidaymakers. The reports describe Spain’s reliance on British visitors as central to the argument, with second-home owners also affected by the constraints on trip length. The proposals are framed as a response to changes introduced after the UK left the EU.
