This is not just me saying this, it is data from the Yearbook prepared by the Cervantes Institute in 2021.    <\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>Seeing these figures, you can imagine the importance of knowing how to <strong>speak Spanish<\/strong> and the enormous advantage it is for you to master this language if you are a <strong>professional in the tourism sector<\/strong> and want to provide a better service to your passengers in Spain and Latin America.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>If you work in the air transport sector, I suppose you come across thousands of people throughout the day, many of them Spanish-speaking.
