Fuerteventura due for a profitable 2010

Initial figures show that Fuerteventura has seen the largest increase in flight reservations across the whole of the Canary Islands. A major contributing factor is undoubtedly the return of Ryanair to Fuerteventurian skies for the first time in 18 months, but these results are also boosted by the continued low cost services from Aer Lingus, Monarch and Easyjet.

The Councillor of Tourism for Fuerteventura, Agueda Montelongo who last year was quoted as stating “there is no tourism crisis”, greeted this month´s news with the comments,” good news for the tourism sector of Fuerteventura…we are dealing with estimates that are consistent with the expectations of economic recovery we´ve been seeing in recent months.”

The news of a healthy forthcoming summer season will naturally boost all tourism related businesses on the island, as well as the real estate sector and 2nd home property market. The also illustrates that the Tourism for Fuerteventura strategy of attracting fresh emerging markets to the island whilst continuing to attract visitors from longstanding European destinations is paying dividends.

Great Britain leads the way with a flight bookings increase of 68% for the summer, Germany enjoys and increase of 24% and mainland Spain has also seen a 4% rise in bookings.

In total the island should enjoy an increase of 30% on flight bookings in comparison to last year, thus demonstrating a level of economic stabilistation following a traumatic 18 months.
