Irish Interest on the rise in Gran Canaria

An increase in Irish online searches for winter sun holidays in Gran Canaria has been reported for the first 2 weeks of January 2010 compared to 2009. According to some hotel booking sites Gran Canaria saw a 50% rise ahead of Egypt 46%, Bali 30% and Phuket 27%. Unsurprisingly the weather seams to be the main motivator as Ireland and the UK have experienced extreme cold and snow while the Canaries have been enjoying a winter heat wave. Gran Canaria is well known as a winter sun destination especially amongst Scandinavian visitors, however new flights from the Uk and Ireland are raising the awareness of new markets to Gran Canarias warm winters. Visitors to the South of the Island know the beaches are more sheltered there facing away from any Northerly winds. Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas enjoy huge sand dunes for their beaches while Puerto Rico has a year round marina and further South is the tropical valley of Mogan, an exclusive marina front village with its own beach is particularly sheltered and always a few degrees warmer. Another reason for the interest from Ireland is currency convenience. Being in the Euro means there are no exchange fees to have to pay and holiday costs can be easily calculated without any loss through the exchange rate.

Is Real Estate and the Economic climate starting to see a turn for the better…….

Real Estate across the world is starting to see an upturn in the news being reported, Canary Islands and Spanish employment is being affected by Tourism numbers , United States consumer confidence is seeing a rise can this be the Obama effect….

US consumer confidence jumped the most in more than three years in April as the recent stock market rally dispelled gloom about the economy, but house prices in the largest US cities tumbled further in February. The 18.6 per cent drop in house prices followed a 19 per cent year-on-year decline in January. However, for the first time in 16 months the rate of decline eased from the prior month, offering some hope that the property market could be beginning to bottom out. Combined, the results add to the case that the US economy could be digging itself out of the worst recession since the Great Depression.
