CaixaBank, through its specialized Hotels & Tourism division, closed the first half of 2025 with €2.513 billion in financing granted to the hotel and tourist accommodation sector in Spain. This volume represents an increase of 44.8% compared to the same period in 2024, when financing amounted to €1.735 billion.

This volume was formalized through a total of 2,357 credit operations signed across the country, representing a year-on-year increase of 24.2%.

The performance in the Balearic Islands stands out in particular, continuing to lead in credit granting with a volume of €667 million in the first six months of the year. Barcelona follows closely with €662 million, then the rest of Catalonia with €260 million; Andalusia with €209 million; Madrid with €176 million; and the Canary Islands with €169 million.

Hotels and tourist accommodations have allocated most of the funds to renovation and modernization projects, acquisition of new establishments, innovation and sustainability initiatives, as well as to cover operational needs through working capital products.

These figures consolidate CaixaBank Hotels & Tourism as a benchmark for the tourism sector, thanks to its model of specialization and proximity. The institution has teams of specialists in the hotel field, supporting nearly 2,300 business advisory experts distributed across more than 200 centers and offices specialized in companies and SMEs.

CaixaBank’s commitment to tourism goes beyond financing. The institution actively promotes sustainable projects that encourage energy efficiency, accessibility, responsible resource management, and social inclusion. Programs such as ReUtilízame, which channels surplus hotel materials to social entities, or Incorpora, which facilitates the labor integration of people at risk of exclusion, are examples of its social impact.

Hotels & Tourism has agreements with more than 40 hotel federations and associations and regularly organizes meetings with leading entrepreneurs in the sector throughout Spain. The financial institution also participates in major international tourism fairs (Fitur, WTM, ITB); in the most relevant sectoral events held in Spain; and is a member of UN Tourism, the United Nations body responsible for promoting responsible, sustainable, and accessible tourism for all.
