Visitors to Spanish shopping centres increased by 2.6% in July

Visitors to Spanish shopping centres increased by 2.6% in July 2021 compared to June of the same year.

The influx of visitors to Spanish shopping centres increased by 2.6% in July compared to the previous month, driven by the rise in vaccinations, sales and the good weather.

This is compared to July 2020, the month in which numerous restrictions due to the pandemic were still in force, where there was a growth of 4.7% and the accumulated annual figure stood at 18.3%.

However, the figures show a different result when compared to 2019: the fall in July 2021 was 24.1% compared to the same month two years ago, while the accumulated annual decrease by 30.2% compared to January- July of that year.

However, the monthly Consumer Confidence Index of the Sociological Research Center (CIS) fell slightly in July (91.9 points) due to the worst assessment of the current situation and expectations. This is the first setback since January 2021, which coincides with the fifth wave of the pandemic.

According to the analysis, the greater mobility throughout the national territory due to holidays and the arrival of tourists allows us to predict a good summer campaign for retailers.

However, some communities have once again applied restrictions due to the increase in infections, some even requiring a complete vaccination certificate or proof of a negative test, which can affect the influx of visitors to hospitality and leisure establishments.
