Spain registered new historical maximums in both international tourist arrivals and tourist spending in 2025. ^[1] Turespaña reported on 2026-01-01 that Spain is currently the first international destination for travelers originating from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Portugal, and the Netherlands. ^[2] Ignacio Iriarte, director of Informe Ganadero, stated that due to the increase in average slaughter weight, the total meat supply will decrease by only 7% this year to 2.9 million tons. ^[3] In the first seven months of 2026, Argentina's cattle slaughter was 10% lower than the same period the previous year. ^[4] LiuGong, a global manufacturer of heavy machinery, officially inaugurated its offices in Peru on 2026-03-09 and announced plans to increase local investments in mining, infrastructure, energy, and construction. ^[5] Spain maintains a very prominent position as a reference European destination for travelers from Mexico, the United States, and Canada. ^[6] The average daily tourist spending reached 195 euros per traveler in 2025, growing at a rate higher than the increase in arrivals. ^[7] FOB export prices in July 2026 were 28% higher than in July 2025, driven by sustained global demand despite a decline in exportable supply. ^[8] The total cattle slaughter for 2026 is projected to reach 12.2 million heads, which is 1.4 million fewer animals than the previous year. ^[9] LiuGong plans to transition from a commercialization-focused model to a localized structure with greater capabilities along the value chain, emphasizing localization, professionalization, and sustainability. ^[10] Peru becomes the second wholly-owned subsidiary of LiuGong in Latin America, following the establishment of its first subsidiary in Brazil in 2008. ^[11] Zheng Jin, president of the Board of Directors of Guangxi LiuGong Group, stated that the decision to establish a subsidiary responds to the potential of the Peruvian market due to its mineral and energy resources. ^[12]
