With a possible slow down in the European property market, who will be buying property in Spain in 2008? Disney on Ice is touring Europe, and will be performing to sell out audiences in Tenerife for the first time in March. It's not just the British and Germans who are increasingly taking a winter holiday in Tenerife and Lanzarote, but Finnish tourists are discovering that visiting Lanzarote gives them a sunshine break in their winter months. Tenerife property prices rose by over six per cent in 2007, with many owners buying then relying on renting to holidaymakers to pay the mortgage. Would investing in Tenerife property make sense in 2008? Predictions for 2008 include that holiday prices will rise steeply, and the travel companies say higher priced oil and aviation fuel is to blame. Travel analysts say it's because holiday companies have merged and putting less holidays up for sale compared to recent years. With a summer of flooding behind them, and a British winter to look forward to, record numbers of people from the UK's Midlands are taking a winter sunshine holiday. Spanish tourism figures for 2007 were good, and showed an increase in the number of visitors. So it's come as a surprise that holidaymakers have shunned Tenerife and Lanzarote. Music lovers everywhere will be in for a treat if they visit Lanzarote this winter... The Spanish holiday island of Tenerife has come up with a unique idea that will ensure tourists won't forget their visit to the island... Spain has been the favourite holiday destination for the British, Germans and other Europeans for nearly fifty years. Cheap destinations in the former Eastern Bloc and cheaper air travel to other destinations have provided a challenge to Spain, but 2007 has started well. 1 | ||
