This is from a table describing average tourist expenditures per day for wine tourists. This simply appears after the number of euros per day in the box for this. Any ideas? It is not educational level.

above [the] average
Could it be that these tourists or group of tourists spend more than the average spending of tourists?
I.e., wine tourists spend €500 whereas the tourist average is €420, for example.

@Ben:
I don't know what the context is, but could it be that the average of this subgroup of tourists is higher than the average of all tourists?
I.e., wine tourists spend €500 whereas the tourist average is €420, for example.

Note from asker:
| I don't see how that would really work. It's just the average. Of course, it's a mystery still. Highest average is the best I have come with so far, but that makes absolutely no sense, an average is an average is an average. |
| There are actually two groups, wine tourists and cultural tourists, but both fields have the percentage followed by "superior mitjana" in parenthesis. |

top half
Maybe the wine and cultural tourists fit into the top-spending half - upper median of the group of tourists overall, whereas the package and other tourists form the bottom half of the cohort.

Hi Ben!
Taking this into account, "There are actually two groups, wine tourists and cultural tourists, but both fields have the percentage followed by "superior mitjana" in parenthesis", it sounds as if the average expenditure of wine and cultural tourists is higher than that of regular tourists.
