Brits flock to Tenerife

DATA from the #Tenerife #Tourism Corporation shows that more than 800,000 Brits visited the holiday destination between January and May … an increase of 20.8% on the previous year. More than 33% of all visitors to Tenerife come from the UK. 

Pia Louw, Travel Industry and Promotion director at the Tenerife Tourism Corporation, said: ‘We are very encouraged to see continued growth from the UK market year-on-year, with average growth of 3.5% for the last five years. The latest figures for the first months of 2016 are also very encouraging and demonstrate that our British visitors recognize that we have so much to offer – from must-visit attractions such as the UNESCO-listed Teide National Park to the latest products including stargazing, sports, and luxury tourism.’

The Irish market also saw very good results last year, helped by a 3.6% increase in scheduled flight capacity to the island. A total of 79,328 Irish travellers visited Tenerife in 2015, a 9% rise compared to 2014.

In total, the largest of the Canary Islands welcomed 5,186,307 worldwide visitors in 2015, a 0.7% increase compared to 2014 and the highest figure since 2008.
