About Tourism
Every year Correos dedicates two stamps to tourism in Spain. The year 2020 has been especially hard for this sector, due to the health emergency situation caused by the global pandemic of COVID 19. Tourism is perhaps the sector most affected by this crisis.
Until this virus arrived, tourism accounted for 15% of GDP in our country.
But if Spain can boast of anything, it is its resources in this sector, which make it one of the preferred tourist destinations for citizens from anywhere in the world.
And that is why the Post Office, for yet another year, issued two stamps with which to highlight two leading sectors of tourism in our country.
On the one hand, spa tourism. Thermalism dates back to more than 2,000 years ago when the Romans already knew of the benefits of water that they used to fight diseases and cultivate well-being and personal beauty. In Spain, there are more than 100 spas.
The stamp dedicated to spas includes an image that conveys the peace and tranquility that exists in these places. Aromas, water and delicacy are represented in this still life of Marseille soaps, lavender, jets of water or cotton towels.
Wine tourism has become a great attraction for foreign and national tourists. The Spanish wineries have been renovated offering stays together with guided visits to their entrails as well as tastings of the best national wines. We must not forget that Spanish wines are the best in the world.
This seal excellently captures the experience of an oenological journey: the vast vineyards, the grape, the grape leaf and a bottle of wine pouring its contents into a glass.
This year more than ever, Correos is next to tourism in Spain.
