Cleaner beaches for Tenerife?

February 23, 2009 – 4:00 pm

Cleaner beaches will help tourism in Tenerife

Authorities in the country will spend 5.6 million Euros on tidying up coastal stretches, which one expert believes could spur property investment.

Market analyst James Gonzalez claims that the work planned will help draw foreign nationals back to popular tourist hotspots - ultimately supporting the local rental market.

Mr Gonzalez commented: “This investment comes as a welcome boost to tourism in  Spain and its Territories. Measures like this mean areas will be able to maintain their attractiveness to holidaymakers, an essential consideration for buy-to-let investors.”

He added that better beaches could only make purchasing property in Tenerife and Spain “more appealing”.

Long-haul flight tax doubles. Good news for Tenerife?

December 3, 2008 – 4:26 pm

Holidays to Spain are likely to grow in popularity as destinations such as Australia and Singapore are hit by flight tax hikes…

Chancellor Alistair Darling’s new Air Passenger Duty rate changes mean flying to Europe will cost £12 in two years’ time compared to the £85 it will cost to fly to destinations including Australia, Singapore, Cambodia and Argentina.

Victor Sague, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Woodrow de España, said, “Despite the continued competition from newer emerging markets such as the Far East, Spain has and continues to be one of the most popular choices for holidaymakers and those looking to buy a home abroad.

“This tried and tested location has gained a long-standing reputation when it comes to savvy property investment, and its popularity is likely to grow following the chancellor’s Air Passenger Duty rate changes as holidaymakers look for rental properties closer to home.”

 ”Far flung destinations such as Australia may have their perks but Spain has an excellent climate, stunning beaches and scenery, sites of cultural and historical interest, and is also quick, easy and cheap to get to from the UK.”

Golf Property Investment in Tenerife

November 17, 2008 – 12:54 pm

Many golfers who enjoy coming to Tenerife year after year will have noticed that the quality of the golf courses is improving. Originally, Golf del Sur and Amarilla Golf were THE courses to visit, but they have been taken over both in quality and length by Abama, Golf Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos Golf and Buenavista. As these venues mature and the planned new courses come on stream, Tenerife will grow to be as important a golf holiday venue as Southern Spain and Portugal (and perhaps even Florida and the Carolinas).

As a result of this, eventually property prices will reflect the game’s popularity here and maybe, just maybe, this might be a good time to have a look at properties here on the Island of Eternal Spring!
