The French low-cost high-speed rail operator “Ouigo” will continue to boost its presence in Spain by expanding its offering by 14% and adding more services on and after December 14, 2025. Spain has a growing need for affordable, high-speed rail travel, and the additional services will stem this demand. By adding more services on top of their existing high-speed rail services, Ouigo will help even more tourists travel cost-effectively to major cities of Spain.
The expansion of the company in Spain will help the company diversify its portfolio and help further establish the company in the quickly growing low-cost high-speed segment of the rail travel market. More available long-distance travel services will also help raise the affordability of long-distance travel in Spain. The quicker, more affordable travel solutions will greatly help domestic travellers and tourists willing to visit Spain.
Expanded Services on the Madrid – Barcelona Corridor with Train Services
One of the OUGO expansions of the routes with the highest demand is the incorporation of additional services on the Madrid-Barcelona leg of the axis. This corridor is among the busiest and most popular routes in the country. The addition of Six split trains on Ziragossa means that there will now be four sleeved trains that span the two regions. This will significantly enhance the ease of travel for passengers on the city pair.
The enhanced frequencies of the trains on this corridor will now offer an additional 370.000 seats in a year to the busy corridor.
The pairs of cities that are most visited in Spain are, without a doubt, Madrid and Barcelona. Because of the ever-growing numbers of visitors Madrid and Barcelona acquire every year, there is a need for trains that are cheaper and are more convenient. Visitors from Madrid can visit the world recognized The Prado and the Reina Sofia Museums, and from Barcelona visit The Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, and the Rambles.
Besides from the Madrid to Barcelona axis, Ouigo is expanding services on other two key spanish corridors – Madrid to Murcia and Madrid to Malaga. The Madrid to Murcia corridor will now offer a third daily return, and more flexible options for travellers wanting to explore the area bounded by the Mediterranean Sea and famous for the beautiful beaches, historic towns, and lively festivals.
The added three frequencies for outgoing & incoming Madrid-Malaga flights will allow the airline to respond to the growing tourist demand for the beautiful beaches, historical sights, and Costa del Sol in and around Malaga. These added flights alone will increase passenger capacity by 370 000 per year, making travel to the region more accessible for Malaysians and foreigners.
Assuring more frequent connections should help foreigners better appreciate the unique mix of Malaga’s tourist beaches, rich cultural sites and performance art, such as the Alcazaba Castle, and the Picasso Museum. For those traveling to the region, Spain’s diversity will be all the more accessible for easier and more comfortable travel.
Spain’s Most Accessible Destinations by Train
The high-speed Ouigo train also makes Spain more accessible for tourists. Budget travelers seeking to travel between cities will appreciate the value Ouigo offers by undercutting the high sky prices set by regular, intercity high-speed trains. Expanding Ouigo connections allow for more convenient travel from Spain’s capital Madrid, and its tourist cities like Barcelona, Malaga, and Murcia.
Ouigo is making a positive contribution to the further development of domestic tourism in Spain by offering pocket-friendly high-speed trains to less-frequented destinations. Spain is a vast country with a rich cultural and historical heritage, and tourism opportunities across the country directly assist main built-up cities as well as the under-explored areas in Spain equally. Ouigo helps in distributing the domestic tourism income more evenly across the nation by connecting the lesser-frequented areas with its central cities.
Ouigo helps tourists who are conscious of their travel footprint, as it has faster and more fuel-efficient trains, contributing to lower carbon footprints. Spain is trying to be more eco-friendly by improving their existing vacation points and connecting the other lesser visited areas by train. Ouigo is helping the government achieve their goals by offering pocket-friendly travel between cities and developing a better domestic tourism infrastructure.
Conclusion:
Ouigo continued to lend a Helping Hand for the Growth of Spain’s Travel and Tourism IndustryWith the expansion of its routes and services, Ouigo continues to unlock the accessibility of the most sought-after destinations for visitors of Spain. Providing frequent, inexpensive and eco-friendly traveling options, the firm is playing a crucial role in the surge of tourism in Spain.
