Fuerteventura Canary Islands Flights up 50% Over Winter Season

Winter flights to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands are expected to soar following release of slot reservation numbers that show a 50% increase over 2009 figures. Visitor numbers so far to the Island have been higher following increased routes and new market growth – August saw 194 International flights this year up by 57 flights and many hotels have experienced 80-100% occupancy levels.

Fuerteventura Tourism Board headed by Agueda Montelongo has been working to improve the exposure of the Island to new markets such as France, Poland and Scandinavia and at the same time increase connectivity to traditional markets. Encouragingly these traditional markets are to see the biggest increases with the UK set to increase by 52%, Germany 29%, and Ireland a huge 756%! Emerging markets will also improve with France 59%, Holland 90% and Scandinavia 55%.

The new figures also show a particular bias to Fuerteventura compared to other Canary Islands, re-establishing it as the fastest growing Island. General forecasts for the Canary Islands show a 31% rise with Fuerteventura 50% and although flights from mainland Spain look to fall by 2% across the archipelago, Fuerteventura is looking at a 13% increase.

Agueda Montelongo also mentioned the increase in Cruise ships for this winter with an additional 12 berths between September and April starting with the Aidablu which arrived yesterday to Puerto Rosario. Although these visitors only spend a day on the Island they are still important to the promotion of the Island in general and the impressions they leave with are crucial to Fuerteventuras image.

Much of the increase in traffic is down to the return of Ryanair especially for the Irish markets however with the investment to lengthen the runway, build a second terminal and other projects like the Northern motorway, other major carriers have also seen the potential of Fuerteventura. Monarch, Easyjet, Air Lingus have been busy this year and their continued commitment lends stability to the growth figures.

Of course the forecasts will be good news to many businesses across the Islands and in particular to those second home property owners who not only will be able to visit more frequently but will also benefit from additional rental bookings. Short term rental figures have also increased this year with many owners experiencing 40 weeks occupation making their return on investment very high. The improved winter season flights also establish Fuerteventura as the fastest growing winter sun destination in Europe.

Currency Exchange Brokers For Fuerteventura, Canary Islands & Spain

When buying or selling property in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands Spain, Currency Exchange is an important Part of the Process. Heres why from Moneycorp:

What is the difference between a high street bank and a foreign exchange broker?

When sending money to the Canary Islands most people use their high street bank. However, people are increasingly using foreign exchange specialists to make their international money transfers. So, what’s the difference?
Timing and guidance. Never underestimate the value of a good exchange rate.

Currency markets are constantly fluctuating and making your transaction at the right time can make a big difference to the amount of money you end up with.

For example, if you needed €20,000 in your Spanish bank account, transferring your pounds on the dates specified below would have cost you:

- 20 July 2010: £16985
- 20 Aug 2010: £16563

That’s a difference of £423 just one month!

A foreign exchange specialist will offer free information and guidance on the currency markets, helping you decide on the best time to buy. A forward contract is just one of the services a currency broker can provide. You book to buy or sell your currency in the future, at a rate you fix today. Forward contracts can help protect against adverse currency movements and can be used to lock into favourable exchange rates.

Staff at your high street bank have neither the expertise nor the breadth of market knowledge necessary to monitor the currency markets on your behalf. When sending money to Fuerteventura through your bank, you will have to accept the exchange rate on the day of transfer.

Plus, foreign exchange specialists offer more competitive exchange rates, as well as low transfer fees.

Below is another example of savings that you could have made by transferring pounds in bulk with Moneycorp rather than your high street bank.
