Tourism in Spain is a major contributor to the national economic life, contributing 6.4% of Spain's GDP. Ever since the 1960s and 1970s, the country has been a popular destination for summer holidays, especially with the tourists from the UK, Germany, France, Ireland, Scandinavia, Italy and the Benelux. Spain has held strong position in world's tourism, being among the largest markets for holidays. In 2007, Spain became the second most visited country in the world after France. That year, almost 60 million foreign visitors came to visit Spain, according to the World Tourism Organization, which has its headquarters in Madrid. However, in 2010 Spain dropped to the fourth most visited country in the world after France, the United States and China with 53 million visitors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=China world's third most visited country: UN )〕 Spain's tourism industry contributed directly with 6.4% of GDP or around €62.1 billion ($81.8 billion) in 2010 according to the World Travel and Tourism Council,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Error 404 - Page not foun )〕 the fifth largest income from tourism industry, based on 2010 World Travel and Tourism Council figures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Error 404 - Page not foun )〕 UNWTO measures tourism income differently,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statistics and Tourism Satellite Account )〕 and in its Tourism Highlights report, 2010 edition, places Spain ($53 billion) second only to US ($93.9 billion) in 2009 for "International Tourism Receipts". The UNWTO's own methodological notes explain the meaning of International Tourism Receipts and may help to explain the differences in the two organizations figures.
