Spanish tourism bosses are calling on the European Union to scrap the 90-day limit for British travellers, warning that post-Brexit restrictions are damaging the country's tourism industry and making it harder for UK visitors to spend extended periods in Europe.
Post-Brexit Restrictions Under Fire
The rule, which applies across the Schengen zone, means Britons can only stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period unless they obtain visas or residency permits. Tourism officials argue that this limit discourages longer stays, reduces spending, and complicates travel planning for British tourists, who are a key market for Spain.
Impact on Tourism Industry
Spain's tourism sector, which relies heavily on British visitors, has seen a shift in travel patterns since the rule was introduced. Industry representatives claim that the 90-day cap is hurting businesses in popular destinations such as the Costa del Sol, Balearic Islands, and Canary Islands. They urge the EU to reconsider the restriction to boost tourism revenue and strengthen ties with the UK.
