Here’s to many more years
There are many reasons why Spain is an excellent holiday destination for British tourists. The beauty of its coastline and inland scenery, its favourable climate, the quality of its tourism infrastructure,
the variety and authenticity of its culture and gastronomy and the friendly welcome received; all
these qualities are very highly regarded by travellers from the British Isles.
And these are made even more significant when added to the fact that Spain has become a destination which is easy on the wallet for British travellers; currently the cheapest according to the Post
Office’s Money Report.
Another advantage which can never be underestimated is the security Spain offers as a destination,
a quality which has gained importance over recent years as a result of the conflicts suffered in
other countries.
In addition the tourism sector is constantly working to keep its services up to date and to adapt
them to the needs of British tourists, updating its proposals and diversifying its attractions so that a
stay in Spain becomes a pleasurable holiday experience.
All this effort produces undeniable results: of the 63.1 million international passengers arriving at
Spanish airports in 2012, a total of 15.7 million came from the United Kingdom. This year the figure
will be even higher and it is expected to continue growing in 2014. The challenge is to make sure
these passengers enjoy their stay, feel at home and can’t wait to come back.

Spain, the best choice both
financially and emotionally
Spain hopes to continue
being Britain’s favourite
holiday destination for
many years to come. It is
now even more attractive
thanks to improved prices
at destination and new
services which will not fail
to impress.
S
o far in 2013 a total of 42 million international travellers have chosen Spain
for their holidays. Over 10 million of these were British – irrefutable proof that Spain
continues to attract tourists from the United
Kingdom who in turn continue to be surprised
by what Spain has to offer.
Spanish destinations are once again the
best choice this year; not only are they a
haven of calm when compared to the unrest
going on in some other countries, but they
also offer substantial advantages. For the first
time ever, Spain is now top of the list of cheapest destinations for British tourists in 2013,
according to the report composed by the Post
Office: Holiday Money Report.
Rather than basing its findings on the prices of hotel accommodation and flights, the
report compares the price of a bag of eight
items typically consumed on a daily basis: a
coffee, a beer, a soft drink, a glass of wine, a
bottle of water bought in a supermarket, an ice
cream, a packet of cigarettes and a dinner for
two adults. The Post Office report used prices
collected in the Costa del Sol to come up with
Spain’s results.
Andrew Brown, Post Office division and foreign exchange manager explained that “there
is a growing number of British tourists on the
lookout for bargains. They look into destinations in detail before booking to see where the
pound is strongest; resort prices are lowest
and where there are the most flights, thereby
keeping their holiday costs to a minimum.”
Brown claimed that Spain is still “a strong
opponent” for the rest of the competition: the
eight items quoted above (including a dinner
for two) cost British tourists 36 pounds sterling; less than half of the cost at the other 21

destinations included in the report.
Other data which guarantees the value of
holidays in Spain includes the data analysed
by Spanish Property Sales, which highlights
that a local beer costs 75% less in Spain than
in the UK, a cappuccino 79% less, a fare for
local transport costs 55% less and a taxi fare
is 80% cheaper.
An extremely popular destination
Spain was the leading destination chosen by
ABTA, the Association of British Travel Agents,
amongst Britain’s favourite destinations for
this summer. The country is also extremely popular in winter, especially the Canary Islands.
Not surprisingly, Spain was the most popular European destination during the first half
of the year, in front of countries such as Italy,
France, Austria, Germany, Greece and the
United Kingdom, according to the Eurobarometer survey.
As explained by the director of the Spanish
Tourism Office in London, Enrique Ruiz de
Lera, results have been very positive so far
in 2013. By October, arrivals had increased
by almost 5% and spending by over 7%.
British tourists are spending more money on
their holidays in Spain and this is especially relevant as the average expenditure had
not grown at all over the last few years (this
year it has grown by over 2%). This increase
is mostly down to the promotion of individual
trips, which in turn produces an increase in
the use of complementary activities. As for
destinations, the Balearics, the Canary Islands, Andalusia and Valencia have been the
most popular, as is the norm. The north of
Spain is gaining popularity, with more moderate figures, but high growth rates when
compared to previous years.
Ruiz de Lera states that “Spain’s main attraction for British tourists is the feeling of
being at home away from home.” Travel organisation data confirms this statement. 65%
of British tourists have travelled to Spain without a traditional package deal so far in 2013
– they are comfortable organising their own
holiday. “They also value the variety Spain has
to offer, at a time when beach plus holidays
are becoming increasingly popular: they want
more than just a beach holiday and here the
complementary activities on offer, and their
quality, really come into their own. Spanish
food is in fashion in London and this is reflected by the interest shown by British tourists
during their holidays in the country,” said Ruiz
de Lera.
Much more than a refuge destination
“Contrary to what is generally believed, the
transfer of British tourists from Turkey and
above all from Egypt to Spain has not been a
massive one, nor does it explain the growth of
the British market in Spain,” said the London
Spanish Tourism Office Director. Unlike Germany, where the Foreign Affairs Minister advised against travelling to Egypt and several tour
operators cancelled their operations in the
country, the UK foreign office was more moderate in its response and British operations at
the Red Sea have not been cancelled. One has
to take into consideration the fact that the volume of British tourists travelling to Egypt has
fallen considerably since the first Arab Spring.

resources – including its fantastic beachesand restaurants.
In fact gastronomy is one of the country’s
most successful products and the Spanish
Tourism Office in London is focusing its efforts
on this aspect. “This year we have continued
promoting Spanish gastronomy within the media and to the general public. We organised a
pop-up tapas bar with Pizarro at the literary
festival in Hay on Wye. We were also present
when El Celler de Can Roca was voted best
restaurant in the world at the World 50 Best
awards. We have also held press meetings
and events for tour operators under the title
of Tasting Spain, with the participation of
famous Michelin starred chefs” said Ruiz de
Lera.
In November, coinciding with the World Travel Market, the Spanish Tourism Office in London will launch a new digital magazine called
SPN. The first edition will be available at the
Apple Newstand Store from the 1st of November. SPN is a three monthly publication containing select culture, gastronomy, art, design,
fashion, music and travel content. “The magazine will present Spain’s lesser known and
trendier side through a unique look and feel,
8
and will make the most of all the possibilities
afforded by tablets; featuring text, photos,
videos, animation and even Spotify playlists
created for each edition and each season of
the year,” he explained.
Tour operators continue to back
Spain
British tour operators are once again backing Spain this year and are increasing volumes to the country. Jet2Holidays, for example, has announced that it will double the
number of seats it sells to the Costa Daurada
in 2014. Thomson and First Choice have
also stepped up capacities to Mallorca and
Ibiza for next year.
TUI Travel reflects on the advantages afforded by Spain as a destination. Joan Vilà, managing director of TUI Travel Accommodation & Destinations, said that one of the key
advantages is being able to enjoy the islands
and coasts as well as “excellent temperatures,
and all just a short flight away”. “There is no
need to travel to Asia or the Caribbean in order
to enjoy heavenly beaches and mild temperatures,” he continued. The security and safety
of the destination “is also a deciding factor for
tourists, and one of the first values transmitted
by Spanish destinations. Spain has benefited
yet again from tourists who would otherwise
have travelled to the countries affected by the
unrest in Arab countries.”
“Hoteliers are striving to reach the highest
standards by diversifying their offering and
optimising their infrastructure. In general, the
quality of our products is improving by the
day and we are becoming more and more
ready to respond to the high demand for quality,” he added.
Vilà stresses that Spain features destinations which have very strong brand recognition, such as Barcelona, Ibiza or Mallorca,
and that these produce great results year after year. Inland tourism on the other hand “is
highly dependent on local issuing markets and
cities like Madrid have registered a significant
fall in international tourism this year.” Be that
as it may, Madrid has launched a new plan to
recover from this fall in tourism and, together
with the rest of Spain, is once again preparing
to welcome one of its favourite customers: the
British tourist.

Spain’s beautiful coastline is made even more attractive by its professional and varied
tourism services, which are constantly being renewed and updated.
The best beach destination
Benidorm is the municipality with the highest tourism capacity on the Valencian coast, with 73000 beds.
The sea and the great weather form an excellent
foundation for Spain’s beach tourism; a sector which
has been able to adapt to new demands and which has
incorporated unique added value to its products.
W
ith its over 8000 kilometres of coastline, two large archipelagos and mild
climate, Spain is an exceptional destination for those who like spending their holidays
enjoying the sun, the beach and the sea. Leading
European destination for this segment of the
market, Spain has been able to make the most
of its beautiful coast and favourable climate by
offering excellent services, exceptional hotel and
residential accommodation and a level of security which is the envy of many other countries.
Spain’s offering in this sector is highly professional, across the whole country, and its diffe-
10
rent regions have complemented it with additional products which combine perfectly with this
type of holiday; products such as active tourism,
golf, culture, gastronomy and nature. Other products which complement this sector particularly
well are business and health, without forgetting
nautical tourism, but by specialising and by responding to demand, beach holidays in Spain are
now also successfully associated with luxury,
shopping and musical events.
The coast of Andalusia
Andalusia is one of the most established of
Spain’s sun and sand destinations. Its over 800
kilometres of coastline feature a wide variety of
scenery, from white sand beaches in the provinces of Cadiz or Huelva, to coves nestled between cliffs in Granada, Costa del Sol or Almeria. In addition, the Andalusian coast boasts a
wide variety of services, marinas, golf courses,
seafront promenades, open air sports facilities,
mooring areas for boats as well as restaurants
and leisure options.
Andalusia received 9.4 million beach tourists
in 2012, which generated an income of 6.500
million Euros. 56% of the foreigners who visit
the region’s coasts do so again, 71.2% of national tourists repeat the experience.
Highlights include Sanlúcar de Barrameda,
a city located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir
River, a privileged location opposite the Doñana National Park, Spain’s most important Bio-
logical Reserve, or Granada’s Costa Tropical,
a stretch of coastline with its own subtropical
microclimate – the area gets 320 days of sunshine a year and the average temperature is
20°C. Also worth mentioning is the Cabo de
Gata-Nijar Natural Park, a heavenly place boasting untouched secluded beaches and crystal
clear waters which are ideal for diving, sailing
or windsurfing.
Andalusia received
9.4 million beach tourists
in 2012
Andalusia boasts 96 blue flags for its beaches and ports, making it the Spanish region
with the most kilometres of certified coastline.
Calvià invests in improvements
The municipality of Calvià in Mallorca, the
area which traditionally attracts the highest
number of British holidaymakers, has recently
made a significant effort to improve and update
its beach facilities and also to diversify its leisure activities and prolong them beyond the high
season – the main summer months.
Calvià Town Hall has organised a calendar
of events and activities designed to promote
its touristic areas from October to April and to
reactivate the areas of Santa Ponsa, Paguera
and Magaluf. Sports events are the main attraction on the calendar, with new initiatives to
promote cycling and hiking routes whilst making the most of the great weather and events
such as the Calvià Chess Festival, the Olympic
Triathlon in Paguera or the RKS Women’s Race,
the Calvià Cup, the Magaluf International Marathon, the Mallorca Dancesport Challenge or the
European Rugby 7s Championship.
Also new is the Birding Calvià project which
hopes to promote the municipality’s natural
attractions and to spread awareness about the
best routes in the area for bird watching.
The new “comercialmente... Calvià” programme aims to adapt the area’s shopping facilities according to new international trends and
demands.
A number of international celebrities have spent time at Ocean Beach Ibiza’s pool and restaurants this year.
The Calvià 2004 Foundation has once again
organised its annual Cuisine Show and the first

other words, this summer one out of every
six Spanish beaches was displaying the
flag which certifies that an area of coastline reaches certain standards of quality and
one in every six blue flags in the world is
located on the Spanish coast.
Of the total, 551 flags have been awarded

participating bars and restaurants.
For 2014, the area’s sights are set on the
Centro Naútico de Calvià, a new specialised
centre which is designed to make the municipality an international example when it comes
to nautical and water sports activities.
Security is a priority for the town hall and it
has announced that it will invest 120.000 Euros
next summer in order to improve traffic in Magaluf and Punta Ballena, 20.000 to install security cameras and 110.000 to step up police
presence in the area, as well as to improve its
environmental conditions, urban facilities and
sign-posting. Another 200.000 Euros will go
towards improving the lighting along the seafront and 100.000 to improving water piping
in the area.
Alcúdia’s new leisure options
Also in Mallorca, but in the northeast of the
island, the municipality of Alcudia, located on a
peninsula between the bays of Alcudia and Pollensa, is improving the leisure options available
to its visitors. Its bay and crystal clear waters
make it an undisputedly attractive destination
for water sports, and now a calendar packed

full of sports events is attracting new visitors to
the area. Events include the Thomas Cook Ironman 70.3 which takes place every year in May
since 2011, the Xtreme open water swim from
Formentor to Alcudia held in September, the
Ciutat d’Alcúdia half-marathon and the Saint
Silvester run held on the 31st of December.
Alcudia is paradise for cyclists, hiking enthusiasts, Nordic walkers or bird watchers, thanks
to the wide-ranging network of pathways and
scenic beauty to be found in the s’Albufereta
nature reserve and the nearby s’Albufera
Natural Park - a swamp which is fundamental to many migratory bird routes. One of the
municipality’s main attractions however, is

the presence of various football stars such
as Jermaine Pennant, Peter Crouch, Frank

and Mireia Canalda.
Luxury, leisure and music in Ibiza
Ibiza has also improved and updated its
beach tourism offering, incorporating added
value with leisure, music, restaurants and
luxury as core attributes. Proof of this is the
Ocean Beach Ibiza, located on the bay of Sant
Antoni de Portmany. Ocean Beach has just
concluded its second season and has already

blishments, a great many in the area, the construction of an 18 hole golf course, a shopping
centre of 41.000 metres squared, a business
park, a residential complex, a 5 star apartment
hotel and various green and sports areas.
The small island of Formentera, which covers
a surface area of 83 kilometres squared and
66 kilometres of coastline, is one of the most
beautiful beach destinations. Its beaches remain largely unexplored and its waters are the
most transparent in the Mediterranean thanks
to the presence of the protected posidonia
oceánica. Apart from its captivating beauty, the
island offers various cultural attractions in the
city of Sant Francesc, bicycle and walking tours
and gastronomy featuring dishes deeply rooted
in Mediterranean traditions.
The Canary Islands
Its extraordinary climate, the best in the
world according to several studies, an average
annual temperature of 21ºC and slight variations in winter and summer; surprising nature
and wonderful beaches, as well as its relative
proximity to European destinations - all this
makes the Canary Islands one of the main beach destinations on the continent.
The islands’ beaches are great both for
those who choose to relax and chill out completely as for those who prefer some rest and
some adventure – the island’s facilities for
golf, nature and cultural tourism and gastronomy are excellent.
This year 46 beaches in the Canaries are
flying the blue flag, one more than last year,
although it is worth pointing out that there are
still a great deal of untouched beaches left
on the islands which do not apply for the international certification but which are equally
appealing.
One of the keys to the success of beach
tourism in the Canaries is the fact that hotels
in the area are constantly being renewed,
thanks to local government funding which,
together with the private sector is planning
an investment of 3000 million Euros for refurbishment work.
The Barceló Castillo Beach Resort has recently reopened in Fuerteventura, after an investment of 10 million Euros which involved a
complete renovation of its facilities and which
will be complete in 2014, upgrading its category to 4 stars. Located on the front line of the
beach and aimed mostly at family tourism, the
hotel will offer a total of 466 rooms distributed
across 381 bungalows, 40 in the main Plaza
area and another 45 suites in the Barceló Castillo Club Premium.
Catalonia looks out to sea
Catalonia’s 600 kilometres worth of coastline, feature everything from soft sand beaches
are concentrated in Costa Brava, from Colera
to Blanes, and especially in Cap de Creus and
around Cap de Begur, places as picturesque as
Sa Riera, Aiguafreda, Sa Tuna and Aiguablava;
there are also golden beaches in the south, as
well as some untouched coves hidden between
pine forests and cliffs, such as Cala Fonda,
Cala Moros or Cala Forn.

to rocky coves, cliffs and urban beaches, such
as those in Barcelona which are accessible by
metro. The wide variety of possibilities offered
by the Catalan coastline have the added be-
nefits of being very well preserved as well as
offering a great deal of different leisure and relaxation possibilities.
Even though most of its beaches and coves
Catalonia is also exceptional for the beauty
and authenticity of its coastal villages. Port de
la Selva, Cadaqués, L’Escala, Calella de Palafrugell, Tossa, Sitges amongst others, have all
responded well to the new needs of tourism without losing their essence and maintaining their
traditional way of life. Visitors will find a great
variety of accommodation in these villages,
from comfortable hotels right on the seafront to
very well equipped camping sites located within
13
natural surroundings, as well as a great variety
of water sports.
The scenery on the Catalan coast is also
marked by watchtowers, indispensable from
the 16th Century to defend the coast from pirate attacks, as well as lighthouses, currently
being converted into small rural hotels, many of
which are located within settings which are at
once wild and privileged.
The Catalan coast is paradise for sun and
sea worshipers. 70 different coastal areas
have been awarded the blue flag, the European
quality certification which certifies that they are
equipped with a variety of services adapted to
the needs of families, accessible for everyone, and that they conform to health and safety
standards. Places like the Costa Brava, Costa
Daurada, or the Costa del Maresme, all traditionally great tourism destinations, have renewed
themselves with new resources which turn
them into ideal destinations for family holidays
and 14 destinations have been certified Family
Tourism Destinations, a specialised certification
which guarantees strict standards related to security, communication and services for families.
Valencian Community
The Valencian Community enjoys nearly
3000 hours of sun every year, the equivalent
of over 300 days. The annual average temperature is 18 ºC, it boasts 260 beaches, 265
kilometres of coastline, and is the municipality
with the longest urban beaches in the Mediterranean.
127 Valencian beaches and marinas fly the
blue flag as proof of the quality and standard of
their water and sand, accessibility for disabled
people and variety of facilities and services.
180 of its beaches have also been awarded
Qualitur certifications.
From the beaches of Forti and del Clot in en
Vinarós to Mil Palmeras in Pilar de la Horadada,
passing through the large expanses of Peñísco-
la, Oropesa, Benicàssim, Cullera, Gandia, Denia, Benidorm, Santa Pola and Torrevieja – in
Valencia there’s a beach for every taste.
The Valencian coast
boasts a high level of
environmental protection
and its beaches are very
well equipped
The regional government has this year invested 1.2 million Euros to further equip its
beaches. Valencian beaches currently feature
2000 footbaths which use treated sea water
so as to save on drinking water, rubbish bins,
beach cleaning machines, 65000 metres of
walkways to make the beaches easily accessible, 211 children’s play areas for under 14 year

olds and 49 organic sports and exercise areas
for all ages, as well as 500 beach volleyball,
beach football and beach basketball pitches.
The coastline is one of Valencia’s most significant territorial assets, as revealed by the
fact that 15% of the region’s GDP is generated
within the 500m strip of coastline. The Valencian coast is equipped with 310.476 beds for
tourists (73000 of which are in Benidorm): 51%
of these are located in apartments, 31.3% hotels and 17.5% camp sites. 30.5 million overnight stays were registered at tourism establishments along the coast in 2012, 57.5% by
British tourists.
20% of the Valencian coast is protected by
some kind of environmental regulation as there
are 10 natural parks, 90% of its swamp surface
is registered, there are 23 marine and coastal
Places of Community Interest (LIC) and 28 high
quality scenic areas.

Santa Ponça, now a resort
This emblematic area of Mallorca attracts families and specialised tourism
whole variety of specialised tourists. Its comprehensive hotel platform is very wide ranging,
so much so that it includes family orientated
all-inclusive establishments, other ‘adult only’
resorts, as well as establishments specialising
in cycling, relax, golf or high end tourism. Recently one of its hotels has even been turned
into a themed hotel.
A pine forest on the beach
Santa Ponça’s main attraction is its 500
metre long beach, which proudly flies the Blue
Flag. And it is this very sand which was chosen by King Jaime I of Aragon for his landing
in 1229, when he conquered Mallorca. Yearly
local fiestas currently commemorate the event
in September, and in October the newer Oktoberfest is held under the pine trees.
The coastal area of Santa Ponça (Calvià), has reached
an unbeatable level of maturity based on its wideranging, diverse and above all specialised facilities,
which attract tourists across all sectors.
S
anta Ponça is very aware of what it has
to offer; it is a touristic hub which is an
example to the whole industry and to its
visitors from all over Europe, especially families,
and which adapts successfully to different seasons of the year. Its offering is fully developed
and despite its age, is still as bright and promising as if it were new.
The Santa Ponça Bay Hotel Association (Ashospa) has reported important developments
over the past few years, and this has been
confirmed by the Calvià Town Hall, and its
president Antonio Roses who pointed out that
specialisation is a key tool for the success of
not just an establishment in particular, but for
the area as a whole.
Roses explained that “we want Santa Ponça
to grow together as a destination, so people
starting thinking of it as a resort.” This objective does not only affect the destination’s accommodation offering, but also encompasses
all sectors across its touristic activities, such as
restaurants, transport, shopping, leisure and
other services. All these businesses and services are moving forward together to achieve a
resort which successfully attracts its visitors, of
16
increasingly varied nationalities.

is adamant that this diversification is an advantage, as this way “no one feels discriminated
against.” And he thinks that the fact that the
area’s wide variety of leisure options, restaurants and shopping services has adapted in order to respond to the demands of such a varied
clientele is a great achievement.
The variety of
nationalities visiting
Santa Ponça has
increased substantially
over the past few years
But the jump is even bigger when we consider that Santa Ponça is successfully welcoming families, couples without children and a
Creu del Rei Jaume.
Santa Ponça’s famed pine forest is one the
area’s differentiating features. Not only because of its beauty, but also due to its location, just
behind the main beach, surrounded by hotels,
holiday apartments, restaurants, shops, night
life and public transport which connects the
area to Palma and the rest of the island. The
marina is located a bit further along.
It is also worth mentioning the Santa Ponsa
Golf Club which features two exceptional 18
hole courses, the nearby Port Adriano marina
- a state of the art nautical facility connected
to the local town hall- and the nearby Galatzo mountain which not only contributes to the
beautiful scenery but also offers unforgettable
hiking and cycling experiences.

This locality stands out for the wealth of its natural and cultural heritage,
and of course for the beauty of its coastline
Alcudia, the perfect destination

wide variety of sports on offer – Alcudia bay,
the largest on the island, provides the perfect
place in which to indulge in water sports. Its
two marinas, Alcudiamar and Puerto de Cocodrilo, are located one in each bay. Alcudia’s

lcudia, located in the northeast of Mallorca, on a peninsula which separates
the bays of Alcudia and Pollensa, has
been able to blend touristic development into
its beautiful surroundings and rich historical and cultural heritage which reflects past
civilizations. The archaeological remains of the
Roman city of Pollentia are located here, as
well as a museum dedicated to this treasure
which dates back to the first century before
Christ. The city’s old town is surrounded by an
enchanting medieval wall which just begs to
be explored.
Alcudia’s coastline is famous for its crystal clear waters, calm beaches and secluded
coves. All its beaches have been equipped
with the ISO14001:2004 environmental system and Puerto de Alcudia beach has been
voted the best beach in Spain and is ranked
as one of the top 25 beaches in the world on
Tripadvisor.
1992, most of its territory is protected due to
its valuable autochthonous flora and fauna,
featuring places such as the s’Albufereta nature reserve, the Puig de San Martí or the La
Victoria Mountain.
This natural and cultural heritage is made
even more valuable by the fact that Alcudia
has been able to maintain its traditions and
also create new yearly cultural events such as
its marine and gastronomy cuttlefish fair, the
jazz festival, the October festival or the free
guided tours of the old city centre.
Alcudia boasts a wide range of hotels, all
offering a personalised service adapted to
each guest. The town’s gastronomy scene
satisfies even the most demanding of palates
and even includes a Michelin Star restaurant.

Palma consolidates its position as an
urban tourism destination 365 days a year
“Passion for Palma de Mallorca”: an ambitious tourism promotion campaign with public-private collaboration
jects, such as the creation of the tourism brand
“Passion for Palma de Mallorca”, an ambitious
project made possible thanks to public-private
collaboration. This has allowed the foundation
to launch a range of official products related to
Palma. The foundation has also implemented
a procedure for the issuing of the city’s official
tourism card, the Palma Pass, which will contribute to prolonging the average stay of visitors
to the city. In this sense, Palma is making strong
progress towards its goal of becoming a Smart
Destination, carrying out actions that will maximize the potential of new technologies such as
the tourism apps Turespaña, Experience SpainPlaya de Palma & Mallorca and Spain Feedback.
Palma City Council, working through the Fundación
Turismo Palma de Mallorca 365, is taking its
commitment to convert the Balearic capital into a top
tourist destination 365 days a year very seriously.
F
or this reason the foundation has created
a strategic plan to promote tourism in the
city which has been allocated a budget of
six million euros. The plan offers a differentiated
product encompassing some thirty activities to
boost tourism in the city all year round, elevating Palma’s importance as a tourist destination
on an international scale.
Palma hosts many important events such as
the Nit de l’Art, featuring temporary exhibitions
such as “London Pictures”, from the British
artists Gilbert & George, Palma Art Brunch,
and international music and dance festivals.
Palma’s calendar of sporting events includes
the TUI Marathon, which this year brought together 10,000 athletes from 53 countries in the
city during a single weekend.
Moreover, year after year Palma Bay becomes the setting for the Copa del Rey and Princesa Sofía sailing regattas, a privilege that no
other city enjoys. These sporting events attract
top sportspeople to Palma, bringing the city international recognition and prestige.
The Fundación Turismo Palma de Mallorca
365 is a joint venture supported by capital and
resources from both public and private sectors.
Apart from Palma City Council, the initiative
has the participation of the most important enterprises related to tourist activities, including
22
Meliá Hotels International, Riu Hotels & Resorts, Iberostar, Hotelbeds TUI, and Grupo Piñero; airlines such as Air Berlin and Air Europa;

On the move in Menorca
Whether it be on two legs or four, powered by two wheels,

I
f you’re into sport at speed, then biking’s
one of the best ways to see the island. From
bumpy coastal terrain to endless country lanes, there are plenty of challenges regardless
of the width of your tyres. Mountain bikers will
be drawn to the ups and downs of the Camí de
Cavalls – Menorca’s 185km perimeter path.
It guides riders across country lanes, winding
through resorts, farmland and alongside abandoned salt pans, mixing narrow cliff top paths,
rocky passes, shady woodland and stony beaches in between. And for road racers – the
steep slopes of Monte Toro make for a cha-

Pounding along sandy shores, waterfront footpaths and rocky coastal trails gives your joints
some variety – and your eyes plenty to admire. Inland, tranquil pathways around Es Grau’s
natural park, or across fields, or along quiet
country lanes, make for ideal routes to clock
up the kilometres. And if competing’s your
scene, Menorca hosts everything from festive fun runs to a gruelling half marathon and
lengthy trail runs circulating the coastline for
the course of a day – and night in some cases.

xplore the widely varying landscape. Plunge into the water. Share our customs and traditions. Taste our cuisine. Discover a whole new range of experiences in this very special
spot in the heart of the Mediterranean, and share your impressions.
The distinction of Biosphere Reserve, awarded by UNESCO on 8th October 1993, was not
just for the amazing scenery , rich natural heritage and historical treasures. It was also for
preserving it all. A reward for making sustainable growth possible. In 2013 it is the 20th
anniversary of this recognition.
Here in Menorca we have managed to overcome the difficulty of being both a tourist spot and a Biosphere Reserve, harmonizing socioeconomic development with the preservation of the environment.
An important aspect is the transparency of the sea and the quality of the coastline, by far the
best natural element. Along the 216 km of coastline you will find over seventy of the very best beaches, preserved in an optimum condition through the seagrass meadows of ‘posidonia oceanica’.
Another key aspect is the diversity of the environment in an area of barely 700 square kilometres, where you will find almost all habitats found in the Mediterranean and where you can
observe animals and plants found only on our island.
Sharing our traditions, our culture, our fiestas is all part of the experience of visiting our Biosphere Reserve. Explore megalithic sites, historic buildings, defence fortifications and museums.
Observe how they make local crafts such as pottery, shoes or costume jewellery.
Don’t forget to taste the island’s products. The range of our cuisine is renowned: quality meat,
fish and seafood. Traditional cured meats . Cheese awarded a certified designation of origin. A
variety of traditional cakes and pastries. The quality of the local wine. And perhaps best known of
all: our gin, a legacy of the British domination, that is still made nowhere else but here.
match in one of Menorca’s triathlons. The
Extreme Man triathlon in Fornells is a tough
race that traverses some of the most beautiful
corners of the island. Does this help distract
participants from the challenges of a half ironman? Maybe.
And if being on, rather than in, the water
appeals, then kayaking is another way to move
around the island. Skimming across the crystal
clear water kayakers discover secret bays, isolated coves, spot protected sea grass and feisty
fish, and skirt around the edges of the array of
islets that decorate the coastline. It’s an easygoing way to get up close to Menorca’s coastline: beginners will find they quickly get into the
rhythm of paddling, while regulars won’t be
disappointed as they navigate between rocky
obstacles, into caves and over the waves. There
are regular organised excursions that kayakers
can join – these are ideal for paddling further
afield – or simply hire one on the beach and
make your own way across the bay.
Sailors and windsurfers also have weatherproof means of getting out on the water. The
protected waters at Fornells bay keep their
calm all year round – regardless of whatever
fierce winds are blustering out on the north
coast – making them an ideal spot to sail. And
as the sea is so shallow in the bay, it’s also
a good place for novices to get to grips with
the sport.
Of course, there are always people who
prefer to watch – rather than venture into the
sea themselves. And in homage to Menorca’s
nautical past, the annual Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge showcases some of the finest
craft in the Mediterranean in a regatta that is
renowned both for the skills of its sailors and
the glamour of the sailing boats on show. It’s
certainly worth admiring these boats as they
come back to their moorings, and their presence reminds how Mahon’s port was – and
still is – a prized spot in the Mediterranean.
Another one of the island’s home-grow
treasures is its graceful breed of Menorca
horses. Elegant and aloof, these creatures are
best known for their role in the island’s summer festivities. But Menorcans love of horses
means that you can not only ride these dramatic creatures, but also get to see them in
action, throughout the year. The annual Menorcan Horse Fair is a celebration of one of the
island’s most revered beasts – they were never used for labour on Menorcan farms – and
visitors have a chance to admire their sleek
black coats up close. And when performing
dressage, riders communicate silently with
their horses, while these huge animals surprise and delight – they never put a hoof wrong.
You can’t help but wonder how they make it
look so easy.

across a surface of 572 kilometres squared,
and 210 kilometres of coastline, this strategic
place, this refuge in the middle of the sea, was
discovered by prodigal Phoenician merchants
in the 8th Century before Christ. Not surprisingly, a Phoenician ruin was discovered on the
southern coast of the island: Sa Caleta, an exceptional testimony to this thrilling civilization,
declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
in1999 together with the imposing Dalt Vila,
the best preserved fortress in the Mediterranean. A walk through its narrow streets and
squares past its Cathedral or Castle amongst
other monuments makes for a truly memorable experience.
Ibiza is the result of the perfect combination
of tradition and modernity. There is a side to
Ibiza which is contemporary and international,
even in the quieter months, which lives in harmony with Ibiza’s customs and traditions and
those of its people. By getting to know its past
we can truly fall in love with its present. The
Archeological Museum, with its pre-historical
exhibits and the Museum of Contemporary Art
with its significant collection of sculptures dating back to the 60s, go some way to helping
one understand the cultural, social and artistic
wealth of this island, which is very much alive
throughout all four seasons of the year.

Ibiza is also a journey for all the senses
when it comes to food and drink. Local produce and traditional dishes are served at restaurants located in old peasant houses. The best
crops from the vegetable garden; fresh rock
fish served with rice or traditional sautéed vegetables, chicken, lamb and cold meats with
Ibizan potatoes and garlic- all these are just
some of the local Ibizan gastronomy available
either seasonally or all year round.

Palladium Hotel Group brings
Hard Rock Hotel to Ibiza
Ayre Hotels will open a new establishment in front of Atocha station
where surprising things take place, as part of
the new trend for lifestyle establishments. The
chain invested over 20 million Euros to refurbish the historical 19th century building the
hotel is located in.
Only YOU Hotel & Lounge Madrid.
Hard Rock Hotel.
A new emblematic establishment will open in Ibiza in
2014, the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza, the result of the close
ties between the international brand and the Palladium
Hotel Group. Music and tourism come together once
again on the island of Ibiza.
It features 70 rooms, each with its own
particular style and in keeping with the design
criteria applied throughout the hotel; contemporary, elegant and welcoming. Interior designer Láraro Rosa-Violán took care of the decor
for the Only YOU Hotel & Lounge Madrid, and
she combined some colonial touches with the
idea of ‘bringing the Mediterranean into the
city’; an aspect which is so undeniably linked
to the Palladium brand, clearly reminiscent of
its origins.
T
he Palladium Hotel Group’s expansion
plans reach a new milestone with the
opening of this new establishment which
will be true to Hard Rock’s legendary philosophy and personal style. Not only will it offer all
the services expected of a high end hotel, but
it will also present live concerts by internationally renowned bands and artists, a concept
which fits in perfectly with the scene Ibiza is
famous for the world over.
Now Ibiza will not only be a Mecca for electronic music fans, visited annually by the best
known international artists, but also a hotspot
for rock and pop lovers. And this is no small
undertaking; to create the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza, Palladium has had to reconvert two of Its
hotels; the Fiesta Club Don Toni and the Fiesta
Hotel Don Toni.
The result is a hotel featuring 485 rooms,
237 of which are suites, which will open in
May 2014. The hotel combines Mediterranean flavours with the Hard Rock philosophy.
Its extensive facilities will feature two swi32

mming pools, the Rock Spa, the Body Rock
exercise zone and the famous Rock Shop,
stocking the iconic merchandising Hard Rock
is so famous for.
So far this year the Palladium Hotel Group
has already opened its new Only YOU Hotel
& Lounge Madrid, as part of its greater expansion plan, a hotel under the umbrella of
its urban hotel brand, Ayre Hoteles. In this
case, the establishment aims to combine a
traditional hotel experience with that of a hotel
Ayre Hoteles’ interest in Madrid does not
stop there however; in fact, after opening the
above hotel at the centrally located number 21
Barquillo street, the brand is now preparing to
open another in front of Atocha station, after
buying the building which occupies the corner
of Alfonso XII street and Paseo de la Infanta
Isabel. The result will be a four star hotel with
about 230 rooms, which they hope to open at
the end of 2015.

Formentera, nearby paradise
F
ormentera is the smallest inhabited island of the Balearic Islands. It is located
on the south of Ibiza at just 12 miles
from port to port.
Despite being small (83 square km), its
regular shape provides it with a relatively long
coastline (66 km) with many large beaches
and beautiful creeks of white sand and crystal-clear waters.
Due to its small size it is very accessible
and convenient. It is possible to go around
most of the island by bike, along the green
paths, throught the pines and juniper forests
and around the salt lakes and rural inland.
The island of Formentera is known for its
great environmental beauty and wild unspoilt
dunes and beach landscapes, which have
been preserved in excellent conditions. In order to maintain these characteristics, camping is prohibited throughout the island.
34
As soon as you disembark on Formentera,
you will feel the air of peace and tranquillity
so tipical of the island, which makes it such
a unique place. You will be immediately captivated by its clear waters of turquoise tones,
evoking tropical latitudes and whose beautiful
is enhanced by the largest Posidonia Oceanica (Neptune grass) meadow in the Mediterrean Sea, which was designated a UNESCO
world heritage site in 1999.
We invite you
to discover this amazing
nearby paradise
Formentera is well known for its beaches
and crystal-clear waters, but leaving the main
road you can also find small picturesque villages, lighthouses, towers and windmills,
lakes and salt works, hidden caves, sand
dunes and beautiful pine forests.
The capital of the island, Sant Francesc
Xavier, is located in the center of the island
at about 3 km far from the Port of La Savina.
It is a tipycal mediterranian small town with
white houses and a very beautiful fortified
church placed in the main square in front of
the local Council.
Sant Francesc is the main shopping center with great atmosphere during the day
and also a great nightlife. It is tipycal having
breakfast in one of the beautiful terraces occupying the pedestrian streets and the small
squares all along the town, but it is also possible enjoy a wonderful dinner at the starlight.
Formentera is also known for its amazing
sunsets. Often, at the end of the day, people
go to some point on the coast to see as the
sun sets having a drink in some “chiringuito”
or just sitting on a rock to enjoy the show.
Throughout the island there are charming locations
and historical sites worth visiting as is the case of:
Markets
In general, markets start up in early may
and pack up in the middle of October.
The island´s Craft Markets come with
a guarantee issued by Formentera´s local
Council, which ensures that the products
sold have been designed and manufacturated in whorkshops of the island. This iniciative
seeks to encourage and promote local arts
and crafts.

Active Tourism
Formentera is not only a paradise where
you can relax, it is also a fantastic setting for

plus a rich variety of plants and wildlife. It all
makes it an idyllic place for active tourism.
Water activities
Formentera is the island of choice for many
visitors wanting to practice their favorite sport
such as diving, kayaking and sailing. There
are options to suite all tastes and budgets.

the seabed look like a garden, plus and enormous variety of marine life: octopus, barracuda, grouper fish, moray eels, sponges and
much more. And although they may be more
difficult to spot, the seas here are also home
to marine turtles and dolphins.
Kayaking
Sea kayaking is an adventure water sport
and you don´t need a great deal of experience to enjoy a short trip, combining physical
exercise with some fun and entertainment. It
can be practiced in family or with friends, as
both single and two-seater kayak are available for hire.
Windsurf and sailing
Formentera is a paradise for sailing and water
sports enthusiasts. Distances are short enough
to circle the island by boat in just one day.
During the summer, winds are light to moderate. In winter, winds are generally western
and northern and more given to extremes.
This is why Formentera in winter is the
ideal place for both beginners and expert
sailors, whereas summer is more suited to
family cruising.
Land activities
For lovers of land-based leisure and sport
activities, the island has the ideal size and
geography four touring on foot or by bike.
Hiking
Formentera has 12 well-signposted green
circuits (trekking) to tour the island on foot or
by bicycle. The paths cover a total distance of
56 km and they all give superb views of the
island´s countryside and over the sea.
Gastronomy
The gastronomy of the island is essentially
mediterranean, based on vegetables,fruits,
meat and fish. There are several restaurants
along the island that offer a variety of tipycal dishes like paella, “Bullit de peix” (stew
of fish), “sofrit pagès” (meat stew with potatoes), baked fish, grilled fish, etc.

The Canary Islands,
a year round destination
Diversity, security and climate, the keys to a perfect holiday
Fuerteventura (10 %) and La Palma (1 %).
La Gomera and El Hierro do not reach significant percentage rates due to their limited
accommodation capacities.
Hundreds of kilometres of beaches and a
more than favourable climate make for an
ideal combination for a holiday at any time of
year. These features are added to the security
afforded by this destination, an attribute which
becomes especially relevant when conflict
arises in competing destinations, as has occurred this summer in Egypt which has been
dealing with a situation of social and political
instability since June.
There are a total of 17 nature reserves and spaces in the Canaries.
Located just four hours away from most mayor
European cities, the Canary Islands offer a varied
touristic option and are able to adapt to the needs and
preferences of every traveller, with the added benefit of
their eternal spring-like weather which means they can
be enjoyed 365 days a year.
T
he British market is one of the Canaries’
main markets and registers high repetition rates – up to 84.4%-. In 2012 alone,
over 21% of British tourists had visited the island up to ten times. By September the archipelago had received 2.4 million travellers from the
UK, 62.133 more than during the same period
a year before (2.67% more). Numbers increased even more in August, by 7.46%, with a total
of 342.339 travellers.
In addition, predictions for winter, the islands’ high season, are very positive. In fact,
slot reservations are growing by 30% which
implies an increase of 450.000 seats when
compared to the year before. It is expected that
over 900.000 tourists will travel to the Canaries
from Gatwick, Stansted and Luton airports this
36
winter. ABTA, the Association of British Travel
Agents has composed a report which states
that the islands are Britain’s favourite destination for sun and sand holidays next winter. GFK
Consultancy confirms this trend and announces
the increase in bookings to the area in winter,
44% of the total quota. The ongoing conflict
in Egypt has resulted in many British tourists
choosing the Canaries this summer and will
also benefit occupation rates during the winter
months according to previsions supplied by the
Industry, Energy and Tourism Minister, José
Manuel Soria.
British tourists embark on 3.5 million trips
to the islands every year. The islands most visited, in order of popularity are: Tenerife (47
%), Lanzarote (25 %), Gran Canaria (17 %),
Constant Promotion
The Canary Islands hope to consolidate this
increase in visits and to ensure that they are
not affected by one-off events, as Britain is an
essential market. The promotional organisation
Promotur Turismo de Canarias is developing a
communications campaign throughout 2013
called “Shine Again”, mostly in digital media.
With a total investment of over a million Euros
dedicated to the media alone, the campaign
associates the image of the islands to the enjoyment of holidays in a place which boasts the
best weather in the world and the guarantee of
returning home with cases full of vitality, energy and happiness, ready to face the challenges
of daily life. To date, the campaign, which will
last until January 2014, has reached 17 million
British internet users and its advert has been
viewed over 450.000 times.
The repetition rate for
British tourists in the
Canarian archipelago is
around 85%
Other promotional activities have been developed over the past few weeks. For example,
a moving campaign took place during the first
few days of July and passed through Manchester, Chester, Birmingham and Gatwick. The
vice Tourism minister for the Government of the
Canary Islands, alongside Promotur Turismo de
Canarias, took part in a promotional event organised by Bright (Bringing Real Information &
Guaranteed High Quality Training) in the United
Gay tourism is becoming more and more
important due to its volume and high spending
capacity and the Canaries are an exemplary
destination for this collective as they present
themselves as a haven of freedom. The areas
most linked to this segment are Fuerteventura
and Gran Canaria which celebrates Gay Pride
every year in Maspalomas.
The islands boast one of the cleanest skies in the world, ideal for star watching.
Kingdom, attended by over 50 travel agents in
Colchester on the 1st of October and in Harpenden on the following day.
Huge Variety
The tourism marketing plan features much
more than just sun and sand and encompasses
the most competitive products such as its variety of natural spaces, active tourism, LGTB products (aimed at gay and lesbian clients), conferences and conventions as well as weddings
and honeymoons.
The conflict in Egypt has
resulted in many British
tourists spending their
summer holiday in the
Canaries and it will also
be beneficial for the
winter season
By promoting alternative tourism products,
the islands’ touristic authorities aim to diversify and avoid their previous tourism model,
based solely on sun and sand holidays, becoming stagnant. The Canaries are striving
to spread awareness about their varied offering, from the relaxation and tranquility breaks
made so attractive by the great weather and
beaches, to holidays which will bring visitors
closer to the history of its villages, points of
cultural interest and traditions, without forgetting its peculiar gastronomy.
For those wanting to enjoy nature, there are
17 extremely beautiful and unique nature reserves and protected areas on the islands. This is
also a privileged destination for star watching;
its skies are numbered amongst the cleanest in
the world. La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro,
as well as northern Tenerife and Gran Canaria,
are all ideal spaces in which to enjoy unique
natural spaces. Lovers of open air activities are
able to enjoy these 365 days a year, whether it
be hiking, on one of the variety of sign-posted
routes, or golf at a choice of 24 different courses. Diving and water sports are of course another option. In fact, hundreds of professional
sportsmen and women visit the islands for training purposes every year. The possibilities for
physical exercise are so wide ranging that Lanzarote has even created a brand called European Sports Destination, which aims to position
the island as a worldwide sports destination.
Infrastructure improvement
When it comes to work, the islands are
also an optimum destination for meetings
and conferences. Conference centres and
large hotels featuring modern equipment all
ensure the success of this type of event. Regular venues for this type of activity are Gran
Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. In addition, all the islands are prime
candidates for incentive trips, each offering
their own particular charms.
The Canaries are an excellent option both
for leisure and business, made even more attractive by their ease of access. The islands
have a total of eight airports with constant
connections with the continent and between
one another, without forgetting the maritime
links between the islands and their modern
network of roads.
This destination is constantly evolving and
adapting to the changing requirements, preferences and values of its visitors. Far from
being content with its achievements thus far,
the Canaries continue to strive to renew their
infrastructure, hotels and equipment. For the
region’s local government the renewal and
modernization of touristic spaces, both public
and private, has become a priority. They plan
to improve the image of established or so
called ‘mature’ destinations, and modernize
public services.
The islands are also a welcoming destination for gay clients.

Gran Canaria, a paradise of sensations
to visitors again following significant refurbishment; the Axel Beach Maspalomas, a modern establishment set up specifically for the
LGTB community, or the reopening of the Club
Hotel RIU Gran Canaria.
Added to this are the improvements made
to the large scale infrastructures on the island,
namely the extension work done on the airport, whose terminal will provide much improved services and amenities and will be able
to cater for 15 million travelers a year; the
extension works on the cruise harbour at Las
Palmas de Gran Canaria, which has positioned
the capital of the island as a leading transatlantic cruise terminal; or the roadbuilding programme that has extended the motorway in
the south as far as Mogán, a fine example of
engineering which has noticeably reduced travelling times between the main tourist spots
on the island.
G
ran Canaria has been one of the main
tourist destinations for the British now
for decades, and in 2012 came second
again in number of visitors after Germany. Of
the 3.3 million tourists who chose this island
for their holidays, over half a million came
from the United Kingdom, confirming the loyalty of the British market and the high level
of competitiveness of the Gran Canaria brand
compared to other tourist resorts.
Despite the stability of the British market,
which in the first nine months of 2013 has
grown nearly 2%, Gran Canaria has continued
to forge ahead with its tourism excellence programme and to improve flight connections, as
a way to revitalize an already solid international holiday destination.
With this objective in mind, the Cabildo de
Gran Canaria Island Government has in recent years pushed on with numerous actions
aimed at modernizing tourist infrastructures,
updating its range of accommodation and improving services, adapting its product to the
demands of customers, who are more and
more select in their requirements. It is a clear
commitment therefore to improve and enrich
the quality of tourist choices on Gran Canaria.
Highlights of these moves, among others,
would be the upgrading and improvement of
beaches such as Las Burras, San Agustín, Playa del Inglés or Maspalomas; the provision of
new installations in the main tourist areas; the
restoration and enhancement of the urban environment; and raising awareness of the island’s
38
landscape, historical and cultural heritage.
The Gran Canaria Tourist Board has also
opened new tourist information offices together with modern visitors centres of the
island’s heritage, such as the recently opened
office in the Roque Bentayga, at this highly valuable archaeological settlement; the recuperation of the island’s hiking path network, the
launch of the Beauty Spot Viewpoint Network,
plus the boosting of active and natural tourism
by making full use of the privileged climate the
island enjoys the whole year round.
In this sense, it is also worth mentioning
a number of sporting events that are held
throughout the year in Gran Canaria that are
attracting more and more visitors, such as the
Gran Canaria Walking Festival –an international meeting for hikers with over 500 participants-, the Gran Canaria Cycling Festival –
held in the first week of December-, the Gran
Canaria Marathon –held right in the middle of
Winter with average temperatures of around
20º-, the Transgrancanaria –a tough mountain race which brings together over 2,500
runners of up to 30 different nationalities-, or
the ARC Regatta (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers),
which brings in over 300 crews and boats to
the island each November.
The modernization of Gran Canaria as a
holiday destination can also be clearly seen
by the restoration and opening of brand new
hotels such as the Bohemia Suites & Spa,
a superior 4 star hotel; the Radisson Blu, a
luxury establishment which opened its doors
The Cabildo de
Gran Canaria Island
Government has in
recent years pushed on

As for airport connections, Gran Canaria
continues to increase its route map with the
UK, proof of which is the new weekly connection for British Airways to Londres-Heathrow,
and the beginning of operations of Norwegian
–with four weekly flights to Gatwick- or the
increase in frequency of flights to the same
airport by EasyJet. Gran Canaria will also
have new routes to Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester and Glasgow, operated by Jet2.com,
and connections by Ryanair with Liverpool and
Boumenmouth are to be shortly reopened.
But Gran Canaria keeps looking to the future with new projects on the skyline soon to be
carried out which will noticeably improve the
already wide choice for tourists on the island,
such as the great aquarium to be built next year
in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, or the new Angry Birds theme park due to open in the tourist
area at the south, for family entertainment. A
clear commitment then to the revitalization and
modernization of a resort which has been endorsed as this year’s venue for the 2nd International Congress for Quality Tourism.

Spain is Europe’s leading golf destination thanks to its ideal climate, its 590 facilities and
numerous specialised hotels
The best destination for golf tourism
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is one of over 30 courses in the Valencian Community.
Several aspects, including
its favourable climate,
varied terrain and scenery
and its proven experience
and professionalism in the
golf tourism market, play
in Spain’s favour when it
comes to consolidating
itself as a preferred
European destination for
sportsmen and women
who enjoy playing golf.
42
I
n 1975, there were 50 golf courses in
Spain, this number had increased to 100 by
1990 and in 2010 there were 350 courses
nationwide. According to data supplied by the
Royal Spanish Golf Federation, a total of 431
golf courses are currently operating, a number which the ‘Market Study on Spanish Golf
Courses’ carried out by Aguirre Newman consultancy –which includes all types of course
including pitch & putt- puts at 590, 49.7% of
which are 18 hole courses.
Despite the economic difficulties the country has experienced, 64 new facilities have
been opened in the past two years alone and
previsions for further developments are very
optimistic. It is also worth noting that all existing centres have been continuously updating
their facilities by introducing advanced sewa-
ge regeneration and recycling technology
for irrigation, renewable energy sources and
other equipment to ensure maximum player
comfort.
Another significant factor is the outstanding quality exhibited by Spanish golf courses,
many of which have been designed by international figures such as Jack Nicklaus, Dave
Thomas or Severiano Ballesteros.
Spain’s privileged climate means that
March, April, October and November are the
busiest months for golf tourism across most
parts of the country, not to mention the fantastic weather during the summer months. In places like the Canary Islands, however, golf can
also be enjoyed fully from December to March.
Golf tourists are often interested in enjoying
alternative activities during their stay, and Spain
also responds perfectly to this. Tourists can
choose their destination depending on their
tastes and so combine golf with water based or
outdoor activities, gastronomy, hiking, culture,
shopping, healthcare or wellness.
All of this makes Spain the most significant
golf destination in Europe – its golf industry
represents 40% of the total EU market and it
attracts over 880.000 tourists a year which
in turn generate a business volume of over
1.030 million Euros.
Andalusian Courses
Andalusia was the pioneering region as far
as golf facilities are concerned, with courses
like Valderrama which opened in 1985; it also
boasts an annual billing of 7.5 million Euros.
The Andalusian Regional Authority recently
presented a study which claims that its over
100 existing courses can cater to 1.140.779
tourists, a figure which reveals significant
growth potential, as the region reportedly receives 425.000 visitors a year.
Andalusia is also developing various different projects and its governing bodies are
working to improve the region’s attractions.
For example, the Tourism Ministry has be-

gun negotiations with various airlines so that
travellers visiting Andalusia this winter can
check their golf clubs in for free. This initiative hopes to attract golfers to the destination
during the winter months, a season which
also happens to be the best time to practice
the sport in the area.
Extremadura’s eight courses are also worth
mentioning, due to their proximity, and these
are located at strategic points offering ease of
access. These courses have opted for originality and allow customers to combine golf with
43
bird watching in the surrounding area; they
are treated to varied habitats which stretch
from the Gredos mountain to the plains of La
Serena or Los Llanos de Cáceres y Trujillo right on migratory flight paths.
Catalonia and Levante
Catalonia’s 37 golf courses host various
international tournaments every year and are
mainly distributed throughout Costa Brava,
Costa Daurada, the outskirts of Barcelona and
Lerida and the Pyrenees. Catalonia boasts a
long standing golf tradition, in fact its oldest
course dates back to 1914, and there are currently 37 courses, as well as 38 pitch & putt
and seven Par 3 courses. Its facilities offer
excellent quality and first class conditions
for play, which is why it is not surprising that
they have been awarded various international
prizes and chosen as venues for important
tournaments. Some of the courses are located within tourism complexes or near hotels
designed specifically for players or golf enthusiasts, as well their companions – but there
is also no lack of complementary activities on
offer, especially when it comes to healthcare,
wellness, gastronomy and culture.
CC
10% of the national offering is located within the Valencian Community, a region with
35 courses, various specialised hotels and residential areas linked to golf facilities. In Murcia and the area of Levante, there are 22 high
level courses and visitors can easily combine
golf with visits to famous spas and thalassotherapy centres.
The islands and the north
In the Canary Islands, thanks to the mild
climate, golf can be played all year round there are 25 courses to choose from as well
as various specialised hotels. One of the main
advantages here is that the courses are all
located in close proximity to each other, and
offer very different experiences, which makes
it easy to try them all during your holidays
and take in some very different scenery on
the way. The country’s oldest golf course, the
Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas, is an 18 hole
course par 71 located next to the crater of a
now inactive volcano.
For the 26 golf courses located in the Balearic Islands, weather is one of the main
attractions. This group of islands is currently
planning several different projects which will
further enrich what they have to offer with new
courses and new concepts which hope to boost its performance within the national and international golf sector. The Matutes corporate
group has presented a tourism project which
it hopes to run in Ibiza, in the Platja den Bossa
area, which will include the construction of a
new golf course.
Alternative destinations include Galicia,
where there are 22 courses and ‘Galician Golf
Routes’ on offer, a combination of golf, spas
and gastronomy; or Navarre where the ‘Navarra Golf & Gourmet’ product also links the
sport to the enjoyment of fine food and wine.
There are 16 courses in Asturias. La Rioja is
also an ideal destination in which to enjoy food
and wine with your golf; and in Cantabria, the
birthplace of the mythical professional golfer
Severiano Ballesteros, there are 11 courses
and 9 more currently being developed.
Madrid offers 34 golf clubs, some with two
or three courses, while Castile and León and
Castile-La Mancha, communities which are
renowned for their artistic and cultural heritage as well for as their exceptional food and
wine culture, offer a total of 60 facilities at
which to tee off.

he latest version of Spain’s official tourist promotion website was
recently launched. With more than 12 million hits per year www.
spain.info provides visitors and prospective visitors with a wealth
of content fully available in four languages (Spanish, English, French and
German), apart from 25 sub-sites providing specific content for 25 national outgoing markets in their respective official languages (including
Chinese or Japanese). The site provides information on more than 47.000
tourist attractions, including beaches, monuments, museums, events, and
much more.
This new version provides answers for a wide range of tourist needs,
from the inspiration regarding where to go, to the sharing of the memories
with friends and family and everything in between, becoming an indispensable tool for trip planning.
Social networking is present throughout the website, where the user is
invited to comment on all of the contents and a specific section - “share
your experience” - encourages uploading photos, videos and stories likely
to provide inspiration for other prospective travelers
The new graphic design implies a substantial departure from previous
versions. The look and feel is now more accessible, universally attractive, with bolder and simpler forms, lighter and cleaner colours and a
new iconography.
44
One of the main new features of www.spain.info is that it now offers
the chance to book all the necessary elements for your trip to Spain: from
transportation (flight, train, car rental, etc.) to lodging, including all the
different tourist products and services to be enjoyed at your destination.

Its key attractions include inland tourism, beaches, gastronomy and culture
Andalusia’s attractions
continue to grow
One of the Costa del Sol’s main highlights is the sunshine and beaches offered by Andalusia. Photo: Empresa
Pública para la Gestión del Turismo y Deporte de Andalucía.
Andalusia presents its best tourism attributes to the
British market, its main issuing market. Gastronomy,
culture, inland tourism, conferences, beaches or sports
are just some of the aspects this community is so
valued for.
M
alaga, Seville, Cadiz, Huelva, Granada,
Cordoba, Almeria and Jaen, eight charming provinces which make Andalusia
the tourism brand in Spain most valued by the
international press. Andalusia also rates very
highly amongst tourists themselves, scoring
7.9 points in a scale of 1 to 10, and it has risen
by almost half a point in the last year.
One of Andalusia’s most interesting tourism
products is culture, an attraction which was
the main motivation for 6.7 million of its visitors in 2012, generating 4000 million Euros
income for the region.
Andalusia’s cultural wealth can be enjoyed
46
all year round; tourists can revisit historical
civilisations which left the great monuments
for which the region is so well known. Also
attractive are the region’s complex traditions
and customs which can be enjoyed in the
company of its locals.
This year a new product related to the
discovery of America will make the region a
cultural hotspot. “Seville and the first roundthe-world travel” focuses on the first circumnavigation of the world which set off from the
capital five centuries ago and highlights the
part played by the city in naval expeditions
led by Magallanes and Juan Sebastián El
Cano and after the discovery of America.
The itinerary includes two milestones: the
monument located in the Plaza de Cuba which
marks the point at which the first ship to circumnavigate the earth set off; and the metal
cross which will be erected in the Baratillo area
in el Arenal, marking how far the expedition
got. Both provide framework for this guided
tour which crosses the city and makes use of
audio-guides and relevant signposting. More
good news for culture in the area is the new
train service which will connect Granada with
La Alhambra, and which will be functioning this
autumn. The train will be called the Granada
City Tour and will operate a route through the
city’s most emblematic areas.
Andalusian cuisine is also noteworthy; now
promoted by significant gastronomic routes
such as the Iberian Ham route, which present the region’s valuable and high quality foodstuffs, as well as wine tourism. The region
boasts some of the world’s most famous wines
amongst its crop, many of which are classified
under designations of origin such Jerez sherry,
Vinos de Malaga, Condado de Huelva or Montilla-Moriles. Their unbeatable flavour, as well as
an active interest in their vineyards, attracted
some 700.000 tourists to the region last year.
Inland tourism and conferences
Even though sun and sand holidays continue
to be one of Andalusia’s main attractions, the
region also promotes its inland tourism, a sector which British tourists on the lookout for new
experiences will find surprisingly rich and which
already attracts 4 million visitors a year.
18% of Andalusian territory is protected, with
over 20 Nature Reserves all offering a wide variety of equipment for public use, visitors’ centres, recreational areas, campsites, viewpoints
and refuges as well as charming populations.
Within the conference sector, it is worth
noting some new updates such as the adaptation of some ‘carmen’ buildings in Granada
to be used for events, the extension of the
Fibes Centre in Seville and the opening of
the Cabo de Gata Exhibition and Conference
Centre in Almeria.

The Tourist Board divides travel offer into eight segments to fight peak travel
CC
Costa del Sol: specialized tourism
cratic casinos… Málaga and the Costa del Sol
make a difference by offering quality as their
hallmark. Marbella is an international reference
for elite collection travellers.
T
he Málaga-Costa del Sol Tourist Board has
launched a new segmentation and specialisation strategy, designed to improve
destination management and make up for peak
travel more effectively. The new strategy is
based on a new brand architecture for ‘Costa
del Sol’, aimed at reaching more would-be
visitors, and strengthening the current market
position and the marketing of travel products.
Holiday and Leisure, Golf, Elite Tourism,
Cruises, Convention Bureau, Cultural Tourism,
VITA (Green, Hinterland and Active Travel) and
Language Tourism are the eight sub-brands or
segments comprised in the new strategy. Subbrands allow to meet the needs of travellers all
year round, keeping the destination active during all 12 months, and also to have a competitive advantage.
Holiday and leisure
Málaga’s beautiful, extensive beaches, the
wide range of beach-related activities and services, and the extraordinary weather are the reason why this is the most consolidated segment,
placing the Costa del Sol among the world’s
leading travel destinations.
Golf
About 70 golf courses and fine weather all
year round make Málaga-Costa del Sol Europe’s leading destination for golf travellers.
The destination even came to be known as
‘Costa del Golf’.
Convention Bureau
Málaga-Costa del Sol is a unique destination
as far as meetings and events are concerned. It
goes beyond facts and figures: it has to do with
the values that make it competitive and outstanding. Quality specialist services to please
the most demanding clients.
Cruises
The Port of Málaga has one of the highest
growth trends in the Mediterranean. The port’s
location and the excellent air and rail connections available make Málaga the perfect choice
for voyages exploring both the Mediterranean
Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Elite collection
There is a different way of experiencing the
Costa del Sol. Staying at the best hotels, eating out in the most elegant restaurants, visiting
fancy palaces, shopping at designer boutiques,
playing golf in luscious courses, going to aristo-
Cultural tourism
Getting to know it’s historical, artistic, architectural and cultural heritage and visiting the many
theatres, museums and exhibition halls available
across the province, make Málaga a unique destination for culture lovers, featuring top-notch facilities like the Picasso or the Thyssen Museums.
Language Learning
Learning Spanish is another powerful reason
for many people to come to the Costa del Sol.
The door is open for them, inviting them to live
in the province, experience the local culture,
participate in local traditions and share experiences – in sum, to see Málaga as a land full
of possibilities, at any time of day. A renowned
university and lots of private language learning
centres have placed Málaga among the favourite destinations to learn Spanish in Spain.
VITA
Málaga is VITA, an acronym that stands for
Verde (Green), Interior (Hinterland) and Turismo
Activo (Active Travel). Nature and heritage, culture and food, extraordinary weather, charming
tours, sports, landscapes, peace and quiet, and
an endless number of tourist attractions, plus a
good price/quality ratio, make the foundations
of this strong segment, increasingly sought after by visitors.

Spain offers many advantages as a destination for corporate events; these include
professionalism, improved service and the creation of unique complementary experiences
A wide variety of venues and options
for your conference or meeting
programme, a scheme which will promote a
network of nine cities, all first rate destinations in the industry.
The El Batel Auditorium and Conference Centre, in Cartagena.
S
pain hosted 19.913 meetings in 2012,
10.5% more than the year before, with
over 3 million participants and an economic impact of 5.110 million Euros – it was
the third top destination in the world for MICE,
according to data supplied by the Spain Convention Bureau. Of the people attending these
events, over 940.000 of them were foreigners.
Statistics aside, Spain is one of the best
destinations for conferences, meetings and incentives in the world. It has earned its position
thanks to its experience and professionalism
in the MICE sphere and its ever increasing and
ever improving variety of facilities – both in
large scale infrastructure as in the adaptation
of unique spaces, and especially when it comes to original proposals for the organisation
of memorable events.
Some of the new facilities available include
the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos Cabo
54
de Gata in Almeria, Andalusia – a multi-purpose building for up to 1000 delegates, with four
rooms which can be adapted to the different
requirements of each event. This region has
also added to its list of unique venues with
the recent Los Carmenes de Granada update; medium and small estates with panoramic
views of the Alhambra, the Sierra Nevada or
the Albayzín.
In Tarragona, the old bull-ring has been
converted into the Tarraco Arena Plaza (TAP),
a public covered space with a capacity for
9.500 people – aesthetically it combines
the old modernist building with new modern
touches in the form of equipment. To further
enhance Barcelona’s position as the fifth best
city in the world for conference facilities and
organisation, the Catalonia Convention Bureau and the Catalan Tourism Agency have
created the ‘Catalonia Congress and Events’
New Conference Centres
Murcia, in the eastern region of the Iberian
Peninsula, has improved its offering with the
El Batel Auditorium and Conference Centre, in
the city of Cartagena, located next to the port
and the sea – a centre which is impressively
light and has the added advantage of not having any columns. It covers a total of 17.000
square metres and can accommodate up to
2.500 people in its 9 different rooms.
The Castilian city of Burgos has changed
drastically over recent years, in consequence
to the creation of the Human Evolution Complex founded after the discovery of prehistoric
sites in the Atapuerca Mountains. Following
this, the Forum Evolution Burgos was opened in June last year, a modern space which
combines culture and knowledge and is able
to host a wide range of conferences, shows
and large scale cultural activities. Its facilities
cover 35.000 metres squared across six floors
and are equipped with cutting edge technology and stage equipment suitable both for
conferences and stage productions.
Further Improvements
Spanish Hotels, which mostly host meetings
and incentives, but which have also specialised in providing accommodation for those
attending large conferences and fairs and making their stay a pleasant one, are also very
committed to improving their services to this
sector. They have added to their offering by
responding to the needs of business travellers
and are continuing to invest in new technology.
Radisson Blue Hotels, for example, has created the “Experience meetings” concept; NH
Hotels has launched the “Meeting Moments”
programme; the Parador de Alcalá de Henares
is now equipped with a “VIP Meeting Room”;
Confortel Hotels has implemented a “Daily Delegate Rate”; the Rusticae chain has presented a specialised guide to business meetings
and Melià Hotels International has launched a
new catalogue entitled “Passion for events”.

Comunidad de Madrid,
symbol of hospitality and space open
to everyone´s expectations
Monasterio de El Escorial.
Comunidad de Madrid is the region where tradition and modernity coexist in perfect
harmony, known as the place of charm and joyfulness and also recognised for being
welcoming, friendly, open, peaceful and cosmopolitan, visitors are captivated by
its atmosphere, and general exuberance, so, that anyone who spends some time in
Madrid, finds it difficult to leave.
I
n the 18th Century King Carlos III of Spain
built Puerta de Alcalá, gate to an hospitable
and pleasant city. Since then countless people from different regions and countries visit
us. Accordingly Madrid is also the gateway to
the future, a symbol of unity that offers the possibility of sharing a space open to everyone, regardless of color, creed, condition or age.
Already imbued with the spirit of the new
milIennium, Madrid shows a wide range of opportunities to plunge into the vibrant world of
business, technology modernity, or the passion
for art, tradition culture or shopping.
This is how our Region is, and how visitors
find it: one of Europe’s most important capital
city regions, full of color, cosmopolitan, congenial, cultured, hospitable, avant-garde, dynamic… and an endless list of expressions
that cannot exhaust that variety which defines
our region, so proudly accommodating the
spanish capital city.
Nevertheless, while offering one of the
56
Plaza Mayor - Madrid.
Palacio Real de Aranjuez.
continent’s most extensive ranges of industry and trade, fairs and congresses, business
and finance Madrid is more than an ideal
region to work in, it is also a fine place to enjoy one´s free time in a great variety of ways
and a region where the visitor must spend
some time. Madrid needs time to be enjoyed,
calmly savoring each nuance, taking pleasure in it, with the passion that strength and
vitality, that those born in the city and those
who have adopted it as their home, put into
everything they do.
There is nothing easier in Madrid than to let
the imagination run. All you need is to stop in
any corner and open your mind at the senses,
you´ll feel the noises and the atmosphere of the
city, after that you may decide to begin the day
by tasting the first coffee in the bar next door
when the streets start to come to life, believe
me, this is a good start.
And this is just the first step. Madrid is the
kingdom of the tapas, culinary delicacies but if
you want something more refined, don’t worry,
you´ll find quality all over the region, and the
opportunity to taste the best local products:
Campo Real´s olives and cheese, Chinchón´s
pastry and garlics, Arganda´s red wine, vegetables, asparagus and strawberries from the
Vega de Aranjuez… Madrid has a varied and
tasty natural cuisine.
As a man does not live only by bread, our region also provides the chance to feed the spirit.
There is no doubt it´s a great idea to visit the
magnificent Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, and have a good rest where king Felipe
II used to supervise the works of the building
Monastery under that clear sky that Velázquez
caught with his palette.
By contrast, this feeling can be shattered
by Goya´s black paintings housed in the Prado
Puerta de Alcalá - Madrid.
Museum, where the most varied range of classical masterpieces in the world are shown.
Nevertheless, if you want to feel a romantic
experience, nothing could be better than a stroll
throughout the Gardens of Aranjuez, dreaming
of the concert composed by master Rodrigo
to honor the royal city, or to get lost under the
arcades of Chinchón´s plaza mayor, or visiting
Alcalá de Henares in search of an echo of Cervantes between the walls and cloisters of his
unique university… too much excitement to be
experienced in a single day.
The Capital Region of Madrid has much
more to offer its visitors as they´ll always find
some unforgettable corner they may want to
see again, perhaps the Hayedo de Montejo in
the Sierra Norte, the white peaks of Navacerrada or the natural beauty of the woods in Canencia and Rascafría. Our region, is also well
known for his environmental respect.
However, about sharing experiences, this is
the right place, our traditional hospitality, the
great variety of leisure activities such as theatre, musicals shows restaurants, hotels…
gives a great opportunity to enjoy the night in
Madrid, and nobody will ask you where do you

The city takes part in the World Travel Market
Madrid establishes itself within the British
market, its second highest issuing market
Spain’s capital city takes
part in this new edition of
the World Travel Market,
via Madrid Destino, the
municipal company in
charge of its touristic and
cultural promotion. No
wonder Britain is the city’s
second highest issuing
market for international
visitors, both when it
comes to arrivals as to
overnight stays.
M
adrid Destino will present the city’s rich
cultural, gastronomy, leisure and shopping offering to all participants and
industry professionals at the tourism fair. Also
to be presented at the fair are Madrid’s main
events for 2014, as well as the tourism products and services the city offers visitors.
2014 is an especially prolific year when it
comes to events to be held in the city. These
include large-scale exhibitions at the museums
along the ‘Paseo del Arte’ (Museo del Prado,
Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofía); a significant gastronomic event, Gastrofestival Madrid; FITUR the International Tourism Fair; its
leisure and entertainment calendar (musicals,
plays, concerts…); Carnival celebrations, Easter, San Isidro Festival and Christmas festivities;
sports events such as the Mutua Madrid Tennis Open; The Orgullo Fiestas; the Book Fair;
PHotoEspaña; los Veranos de la Villa (Madrid’s
annual summer cultural festival); or the Architecture Week.
Madrid’s presence at the fair will also help to
establish new contacts and meetings with the
industry’s main international tour-operators and
tourism professionals for possible future collaborations.
British Market
The United Kingdom is the second highest
international market for visitors to Madrid, representing 7.61% of the total foreign market recei58

ved by the capital. During the first eight months
of the year however, 185.702 British citizens
visited the city, 2.54% less than in 2012; even
though the number of overnight stays during the
same period increased by 1.14% and reached
411.175, consolidating itself at second place for
the number of stays with a quota of 7.56%.
Although less British
tourists have visited
Madrid during 2013, they
have however stayed for
longer periods and spent
more money
In other words, even if Madrid has received
less British visitors, they have stayed for longer.
Proof of this is the 3.78% increase in average
stay, 2.21 nights.
The total amount spent by British visitors during the first six months of the year in the Community of Madrid totalled 114.7 million Euros,
a 0.36% increase per tourist, up to 632.21
Euros, while the average daily expenditure has
grown by 20.23% up to 133.4 Euros. According
to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the
United Kingdom occupies fourth place in the
worldwide tourism expenditure ranking.
Tourist Assistance Services and
Information (SAIT).
5.81% of the foreigners that used the Tourist
Assistance Services and Information Offices
(SAIT) came from the United Kingdom. The
country occupied fifth position in the ranking by
nationalities of this service’s users. The average
profile of the British tourists interviewed by SAIT
visits the city for leisure purposes (82.63%), is
between 25 to 44 years of age (48.79%), is
currently employed (64.97%) and stays in Madrid between three to seven nights (78.38%,
42.11% of which stays for three nights and
36.27% stays between four to seven nights).
38.29% of these tourists requested information
and guidance.
In addition, the city’s official tourism information portal esMADRID.com has received
33.34% more visits and 11.34% more page
views from the British market.

A land of contrasts and encounters between the mountains and the sea
Catalonia, the leading destination
for family tourism in Europe
Low cost flights and lively cities make Catalonia an exceptional city break destination.
Photo: Patronat de Turisme de Lleida.
Various different factors have contributed to making
Catalonia Spain’s leading tourism destination. Amongst
other things, it is a land of encounters and contrasts, full
of natural wealth and cultural diversity: the mountains
meet the sea, peaks and pine forests meet cliffs and
coves and the countryside meets cities full of history
and modernity.
C
atalonia has so much to offer that there
is a wide variety of tourism options and
activities for each segment of the market,
from family holidays - for which it happens to
be one of the best destinations in Europe – to
internationally established products such as
conferences, business, golf or culture, and of
course popular city breaks.
60% of all tourists arriving in Catalonia are
families. Over the last few years, Catalonia has
consolidated a tourism offering with services
specifically aimed at families with children, now
guaranteed by a specialised certification, the first
of its kind in Europe, which classifies the region
as a DTF destination, a Family Tourism Destination. The certificate is awarded by the Catalan
government via the Catalan Tourism Agency, to
destinations which meet a series of strict evaluation criteria on security, communication and
services for families with children. The advantages offered by Catalan DTFs include mini-clubs
on the beach, clean and safe water, a children’s
menu, highchairs at the restaurants, special
60
services such as multilingual babysitters so that
parents can relax or enjoy adult activities as well
as 24 hour on-site security.
Overall Catalan DTFs feature 200 accommodation establishments and almost 200 restaurants, as well as leisure, natural and scenic
attractions in the area or in its immediate surroundings. These are the current certified DTF
locations; Cambrils, Salou, Vila-seca, La pineda
Platja and Calafell (Costa Daurada), Calella, Pineda de Mar, Malgrat de Mar i Santa Susanna (Costa Barcelona), Blanes, Lloret de Mar,
Calonge - Sant Antoni, Torroella de Montgrí
- l’Estartit i Roses (Costa Brava). The following
locations are currently being assessed for future certification: the Platja d’Aro municipality
- Castell d’Aro – and S’Agaró in Costa Brava.
Leisure and business
Thanks to its lively cities, a great deal of low
cost flight connections and excellent internal
connectivity; Catalonia is a great year round
destination for popular city break holidays. A day
in Barcelona for example, can feature a walk
around the Gothic Quarter, lunch by the sea,
an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary
Art topped off in the evening with a concert at
the modernist Palau de la Música. Catalonia’s
network of cities, featuring the likes of Gerona,
Lérida or Tarragona, all offer similar possibilities.
Business, conference and incentive tourism
is mainly concentrated in Barcelona, a city with
a long tradition in the MICE sector and which is
home to some of the best facilities in Catalonia such as the Fira de Barcelona Conference
Centre, the Catalonia Conference Centre or the
Barcelona-Recinto Fórum International Convention Centre, as well as unique and original venues and a network of hotels with areas which
are specially dedicated and equipped for event
organization. Although based on this central
concept; the region’s offering has also been
structured to incorporate its network of adequately equipped cities: Girona, Lleida, Sitges
and Tarragona.
In addition, Catalonia offers MICE visitors complementary tourism services, well organised and
professional options which include golf, active
tourism, culture, shopping and gastronomy.
Strategic Market
The Catalan Tourism Agency highlights that
86% of the trips to Catalonia made by British
tourists are motivated by leisure. Costa Daurada, Barcelona and Costa Brava are their
favourite destinations. British tourists are very
loyal when they consider a holiday destination
to be good value for money, secure and great
for family and beach holidays.
Catalonia, Spain’s leading tourism destination, receives a quarter of all the country’s
international tourists -14.5 million in 201211.2% of which came from the UK, a total of
1.6 million tourists. The UK holds second place in Spain’s list of top issuing markets, after
France, and has increased by 26.3% compared
to 2011. By August this year, Catalonia had registered a 5% increase in the number of British
tourists, 1.2 million visitors and an expenditure
of over 870.000 Euros, 9% more than during
the same period a year before. It is expected
that this approximate growth of 5% will continue to the end of the year.

Salou continues to promote
British tourism
CC
The Capital of the Costa Daurada is being represented at the World Travel Market
in order to maintain and attract new visitors
S
alou has closed the majority of the 2013
season with good employment results
and a rising trend in many markets,
including the British market. The Municipal
Tourist Board (Patronat Municipal de Turisme
– PMT) of the Costa Daurada capital has expressed satisfaction with the positive figures;
according to data from the Costa Daurada
Tourism Observatory, the British market,
making up 19% of visitors, is the second largest origin market of the municipality and the
largest of the foreign markets, one percent
up from the 2012 figures and representing
around 1,070,000 overnight stays (between
the 1st of January and the 31st of August).
This slight increase in the demand for Salou
is reinforced by the main British tour operators
in Salou, who confirm that the 2013 season
has seen a preservation of previous visitor
numbers and predict an increase in 2014.
2013 has also been marked by the problems
generated around the critical political situations in Egypt and Turkey, two competitors of
the Costa Daurada. At the opposite extreme is
our destination: a friendly, cosmopolitan, sage
and easily accessible city.
Although it will be now, at the World Travel
Market in London, that these trends will be
confirmed, good prospects in this market for
next season have already been announced.
The holiday company Jet2holidays, through
its airline Jet2.com and NT incoming, has announced a significant increase in the number
of flights from various parts of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to Reus, rising from
5 to 14 weekly flights. This increase will triple
the current figures, reaching 25,000 clients
for the 2013-2014 season.
In 2014, in addition to the links from Newcastle, Belfast and Manchester, there will be
new routes from Glasgow and Leeds. This is
part of the data to be announced, in addition
to the forecasts regarding British tourists who
will choose the Costa Daurada as their holiday
destination next season. Salou is also being
represented in conjunction with PortAventura
at the Belfast Telegraph Holiday World show
next January. It is the first time that Salou
will have a stand at the show in conjunction
with PortAventura. Benet Presas, Salou’s
tourism councillor, stated: “We are looking
to strengthen our brand of family tourism and
we understand that the Jet2 flight between
Belfast and Reus can be an incentive when
choosing our destination”.
As interesting information and to better understand British tourism in Salou, 88.1% of
UK tourists who travel to Salou travel by air;
over half of these land at Reus airport, flying
with Ryan Air.
According to the PMT the main reason UK
tourists come to Salou is the fact that it is a
holiday destination (73.5%) and for the sun
(12.5%). The tourism councillor said the following: “As a destination our offer is first-class,
with quality, with the theme park PortAventura
and with the elements that make Salou an undeniable attraction to the British visitor”.

A nautical tourism destination with 7.880 kilometres of coastline
Spain: sea, sports and fun
all year round
Spain’s nautical tourism is one of the most attractive in Europe.
Spain’s nautical tourism
facilities extend along
its 7.880 kilometres
of coastline lapped by
the Mediterranean, the
Cantabrian Sea and the
Atlantic Ocean; offering
the chance to enjoy sea
based sports and activities
for all tastes in a segment
which attracts over two
million tourists a year.
N
autical tourism continues to grow substantially. Spain’s offering for this segment
is structured via its Nautical Destinations
which registered a billing of 2.300 million du62
ring 2012. Its main issuing markets include
Germany and the United Kingdom, with over 13
million water sports enthusiasts.
There are currently 23 Estaciones Náuticas
or nautical destinations in Spain and 1700 associated companies, spread along the coasts of
Catalonia, Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia, Galicia,
the Balearics, the Canaries and Ceuta. Together
they offer over 4500 tourism products, making
the Spanish coast one of Europe´s nautical
destinations par excellence. These specialised
and certified tourism destinations allow users
to enjoy a huge variety of nautical and water
based sports, whilst also guaranteeing a variety
of complementary leisure and accommodation
facilities, restaurants, surrounding touristic attractions and nautical maintenance services, all
within a comprehensive tailor-made product.
In every region
Catalonia has developed an important network which features 46 marinas and almost
15.000 moorings. Along its close to 600 kilometres of coast, the region boasts a comprehensive infrastructure for nautical activities
together with lively natural areas inhabited by
southern European fauna. One of the most noteworthy is the Medes Islands Marine Reserve
whose depths include some of the continent´s
best diving spots.
In the Balearics, sea based activities are king.
The islands feature a network of nautical facilities along its 1428 kilometres of coastline and
prestigious international nautical competitions
and events take place here every year.
Mallorca boasts a total of almost 20.000 moorings plus exceptional infrastructure, services
and schools for a variety of sports and activities.
Menorca´s waters are ideal for sailing, diving,
windsurfing, water skiing and competitive fishing. Ibiza has comprehensive facilities, over
2500 moorings and the capacity for any size
vessel. The splendid waters of Formentera are
also perfect for any type of nautical activity.
The facilities and marinas in the Community of Valencia are amongst the best in Europe,
making it a venue for significant international
events such as the America’s Cup in Valencia or the start of the Volvo Ocean Race in
Alicante. Mediterranean winds and mild tem-
Atlantic, Andalusia is ideal for nautical sports
– it boasts 42 marinas with first class services, modern and clean facilities and adequate
infrastructure according to the size and importance of each port. Apart from sailing across the
Gibraltar Straits and crossing Cape Trafalgar,
famous for the battle of the same name, visitors can drop their anchor in coves blessed with
crystal clear water, rest in tranquil places such
as the San Jose Marina or enjoy the nightlife
and glamour in Puerto Banús or Benalmádena.
Another option is a cruise up the Guadalquivir
river to Seville.
The Canary Islands are an ideal destination
for year round nautical activities, thanks to the
warm water temperature which fluctuates between a minimum of 16 to 18ºC in the winter
and 23-25ºC in summer. Its nautical offering is
made up of some 1600 kilometres of coastline,
265 kilometres of beaches, ports and refuges
for sailors, a unique volcanic marine ecosystem, quality port infrastructure and a varied
selection of maritime activities; certified by its
very own Islas Canarias Water Sports Experience guarantee.

Levante, a safe bet for British tourists
For the Valencian Community and the Region of Murcia’s variety is key
In addition, and with the aim of ensuring its
position in the British market, local tourism
authorities have launched new applications for
mobiles and tablets which can be downloaded
in English via IOS and Android and which feature information about everything the region
has to offer. They have also developed online
training courses for British travel agents which
teach them all about wine tourism and the
wine routes available.
Inland tourism is another of the options offered by this region.
Together the Valencian Community and Murcia offer
hundreds of kilometres of beaches and excellent golf
courses; two essential products when it comes to
pleasing British tourists. Both regions are also stepping
up their efforts to spread awareness about what
they have to offer inland and other more specialised
products such as wine tourism.
T
he United Kingdom is the leading international issuing market for the Valencian
Community, the country’s fourth most
favourite destination, with the Canaries, the
Balearics and Andalusia occupying top place.
Over two million British visitors chose Valencia
in 2012, 15% of those that travelled to Spain.
Apart from their volume, British tourists
also have the advantage of being less seasonal when compared to tourists from other
countries: their high season extends from April
through to October. As for their profile, 69.3%
travelled without a package deal and most
stayed at hotels (48.6%) even though a high
percentage of them stay at their own holiday
home (37.7%).
In a bid to consolidate their presence in
this market, the Valencian Community will be
present as the World Travel Market, where
they will promote their products through the
64
Costa Blanca, Valencia Terra i Mar, Castellón, Turismo Valencia and Benidorm brands.
The latter is a favourite destination amongst
English holidaymakers and one which they
continue to be loyal to.
The sun and sand product is a huge attraction for British tourists, as is golf, an activity for which they are the leading issuing
market for the community. The region offers
many other interesting options such as inland
tourism, in various formats, be it rural, active
or health-based, and of course there is also
the cultural approach, with different UNESCO
World Heritage Sites.
For 97% of British tourists, leisure is the
main motivation for their trip, but this region is
also equipped with the infrastructure necessary to offer services related to conferences,
conventions and incentives, a product which
will be highlighted at the fair in London.
Region of Murcia
The sun and sand product is also the star
of the Region of Murcia’s tourism offering,
and the one with the highest demand from
British tourists, the community’s main foreign
market. This product can be enjoyed all year
round, as well as its 22 golf courses, thanks to
the average temperature of 19.4 degrees and
some 315 days of sunshine a year. But Murcia
knows that these tourists are looking for alternative products, and that they are especially
attracted to wine related products and activities. With this in mind, they hope to spread
awareness about the wine routes which feature tours of wineries producing wines of the
Yecla, Jumilla and Bullas designation of origin.
Wine tourism and
wine routes acquire
further relevance in the
promotional campaign
launched by Levante
Other important news is the fact that this
region is now aiming for the senior tourism
sector. Health programmes have been designed in order to attract British tourists over
60. These are the same packages as the ones
marketed at older Spanish clients, but with
longer durations.
The region also boasts the infrastructure
needed to offer services within the disabled
market. There is a wide range of three and
four star hotels with rooms which have been
specifically adapted for the purpose, across
the Mar Menor, La Manga and in the cities
of Cartagena and Murcia, as confirmed by
Enable Holidays, a British tour operator specialising in holidays for disabled people.
Culinary tourism attracts nearly six million international tourists
Gastronomy, the Spain
brand’s main asset
Last year 5.6 million
international tourists
visited Spain attracted
by its food and drink;
200.000 more than in
2011, according to data
provided by Turespaña.
The Government’s
High Commission for
the Spain brand and
the Royal Gastronomy
Academy have now
signed an agreement
for the promotion of
Spain’s gastronomy as
its main asset.
B
oth parties will spread awareness about
the value of Spain’s cuisine, its industries and raw materials, via the media,
the internet and digital technology. They will
also work together to compose reports, surveys
and documents which present its quality and
prestige, especially focused on innovation and
creativity.
Those 5.6 million tourists, 10% of the international arrivals Spain receives every year,
spent 6.393 million Euros on gastronomy in
2012, 10.1% more than during the year before,
thanks to their high spending power.
The average amount spent on food and drink
per day has also increased by 12.2% over the
last year to 107.65 Euros, while the average
amount spent per person has grown by 5.6%
to 1.133.89 Euros.
In fact, Spain’s rich and varied cuisine is an
essential aspect within the development of the
country’s tourism activity as it “is an important
part of the Spain brand’s identity,” reported by
the Agriculture, Food and Environment Minister,
Miguel Arias Cañete.
So much so that Spanish food is currently
Europe’s second most favourite, behind Italian
cuisine, according to an annual survey on travel
and gastronomy carried out by TripAdvisor on
European travellers.
66
Spain’s rich and varied gastronomy is an essential aspect in the development of the country’s tourism.
The minister stressed that Spain has reached
“the highest standards of cuisine, thanks to an
efficient combination of high quality raw materials, innovative techniques and exceptional
creativity.” “Spanish chefs have become great
ambassadors for the country,” he continued.
Spain is Europe’s
second favourite type of
gastronomy, following
closely behind Italian
cuisine, according to a
survey by TripAdvisor
It is therefore not surprising that gastronomy
has contributed significantly to the success of
Spanish tourism, as the Industry, Energy and
Tourism Minister, José Manuel Soria pointed
out. The Royal Gastronomy Academy claims
that it is one of the main reasons tourists choose to visit Spain: “Food and drink is now one
of the main pillars of tourism and therefore a
fundamental part of tourism promotion.” Rafael
Ansón, the president of the academy stressed
that “the 250.000 plus restaurants across the
country also contribute to tourism; they add
prestige and create jobs.”
Córdoba, Latin-American capital of
Gastronomy
Proof of the importance of Spain’s gastronomy is the fact that Córdoba has recently
been elected Latin American Capital of Gastronomy for 2014, in recognition of its unique
cuisine, thousand-year old heritage, history
and culture.
The mayor, José Antonio Nieto, has emphasised that this recognition helps to “position
Córdoba as a meeting point for culture and
gastronomy, both essential parts of its identity.”
The title will create “an increased number of
tourist visits and overnight stays, spread awareness about what Córdoba and its province has
to offer culturally speaking, help promote its
gastronomy and increase brand awareness for
the city and its tourism both nationally and internationally.”
Córdoba, the first city to receive the above
recognition, is a melting pot of four different types of culture and gastronomy (Roman, Arab,
Jewish and Christian) and the province boasts
seven designations of origin.

a representative of this Globalia group company pointed out. “The British market is very
important to Air Europa. We transport customers from the United Kingdom to various
different geographical locations within Spain
via our hub in Madrid, such as from London
to the Canary Islands with a stopover in Madrid. In 2013 we have seen an increase in
demand compared to 2012, which in turn
was busier than 2011.”
EasyJet is Britain’s leading airline in terms of the number of passengers it transports
Spain is the destination favoured by British tourists and
the leading foreign market for various British airlines.
Of the 63.1 million international passengers who arrived
at Spanish airports in 2012, one in every four were from
the UK. In fact Britain issued 35.4% of all international
arrivals to Spain with 15.7 million British travellers, 83.3%
of which flew in on a low cost flight.
British Airways currently operates 10
routes between London and Spain with 66
round trips and 132 weekly flights in total. It
operates seven daily flights to Heathrow and
London City from Madrid; 11 daily flights to
Heathrow and Gatwick from Barcelona; 17
flights a week from Malaga to Gatwick and
London City; 10 a week from Alicante to Heathrow and Gatwick; five a week from Tenerife
Sur to Gatwick; two a week from Lanzarote to
Gatwick; four a week from Granada to London City; four a week from Palma to Heathrow
and London City; five a week from Ibiza to
London City, and a new service between Gran
Canaria and Heathrow this winter 2013/2014
season which started on the 27th of October
and will operate once a week; the route connecting Menorca with London City has been
suspended.
Updates expected so far for summer 2014
season, which will commence on the 27th of
March, include two weekly routes between
Malaga and Heathrow and the cancellation of
the route between Alicante and Heathrow, the
current connection between Alicante and Gatwick is expected to continue.
The UK is the market in which Iberia operates the highest number of flights, eight per
way between Madrid and London. This has
remained the same during the winter and will
continue into the summer of 2014. The Spanish airline’s spokesperson said that “market
demand has increased significantly in both
directions, Spain-UK and UK-Spain.”
Air Europa operates two daily flights
throughout the year both ways between Madrid and London Gatwick Airport. “So we
are talking about 1460 flights a year which
Low cost Airlines
British low cost airline EasyJet operates 156
routes connecting the United Kingdom and
Spain, around 1350 flights a week. It operates
out of Madrid, Barcelona, Santiago, Oviedo,
Bilbao, Palma, Menorca, Ibiza, Valencia, Alicante, Murcia, Almería, Málaga, Seville, Gran
Canaria, Tenerife Sur, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura airports. Its destinations include: London (Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and Southend),
Edinburgh, Newcastle, Belfast, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester. This summer
it will launch new connections between Tenerife and Newcastle in November and Tenerife
and London Southend in December.
EasyJet expects to carry 7.7 million passengers between Spain and the United Kingdom in 2013 and 7.9 million in 2014. As for
traffic direction, 79% originates in the UK and
21% in Spain. Under this premise, of the 7.7
million passengers it hopes to reach by the
end of 2013, up to 6.1 million originate in the
UK. In 2014 it is expected that British tourists
will represent 6.2 of the 7.9 total.
Spain is Jet2.com’s most important foreign
market. The British airline operates 80 routes
between Spain and the United Kingdom, with
360 flights. This year it is offering 4 million
seats between Spain and the UK. From April
2014, it will fly from Fuerteventura operating
four routes to Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow
and East Midlands. It will also step up its
operations in Reus, from three to six routes,
connecting Leeds, Glasgow and the East Midlands. Spanish airports Alicante, Malaga,
Palma, Menorca, Ibiza and Murcia will have
access to flights to the airline’s eight bases
in Britain.

third-best in a survey by the Skytrax commercial aviation industry consultants and monitors.
The survey of 12.1 million passengers at 395 airports all over the world examined 39
product and service categories, including check-in, connection, VIP lounges, and boarding.
This year the T4 climbed two notches from its 2012 fifth-place ranking, reflecting Iberia’s
collaborative efforts with the AENA airport authority in the Ágora project, intended to heighten
efficiency and flight punctuality, and to improve passengers’ airport experience at every point.
The plan encompassed such innovative initiatives as the use of holographic “virtual agents”
supplying practical advice to passengers about check-in procedures; new express self-checkin counters, Quick Service Points where passengers can deal with such issues as missed
connections or delayed luggage without having to queue; portable IBHelp devices allowing
airport customer service employees to deal with problems and connect to the Iberia IT system
from any point within the airport; and streamlined group boarding procedures.
Attesting to the success of the Ágora project is the rise in the overall flight on-time rating to
90%, the sharply improved customer satisfaction ratings reflecting in surveys, and such honours as IATA’s ‘Gold Fast Travel Award’ and the Future Travel Experience forum’s awards for
several of the innovations which have made the T4 one of the world’s favourite airline hubs.
and GSM connectivity will also be available for
sending SMS and data with their mobile devices. Seats in both Economy and Business Plus
sections are equipped with power supply points
and a variety of connection ports.
‘Mood Lighting’ during the flight
The clear and bright atmosphere aboard the
aircraft undergoes alterations during the different stages of the flight –meals, rest, entertainment, etc. – thanks to a new system called
‘mood lighting’.
Business Plus passengers can enjoy greater privacy, more room, extra storage space
for personal items, and direct access to the
aisle from all seats. Window seats are ideal
for passengers travelling alone, while the double central row is the best choice for people
travelling together.
Touch Screens in Economy Class
Iberia’s new Airbus A330s also boasts new
individual entertainment systems for Economy Class passengers. The highly intuitive
system is based on a 9” touch screen in seat
backs, where passengers can choose amongst
a large selection of feature films in several languages, television series and documentaries,
and special programming for children. The new
Economy Class seats are wider, more comfortable, and more ergonomic.
‘Retrofit’ for all other long-haul aircraft
The new cabins are gradually being installed
in Iberia’s fleet of 17 A340/600s, which are
also being totally re-wired to accommodate
the new entertainment system. To retrofit each
aircraft takes some 100 technicians a total of
seven weeks. To date three of the 17 units have
been modified.

Openings are expected across all segments, with Barcelona leading the way
National and international
investors find the Spanish
hotel market highly desirable
Spain’s record international arrivals
and tourism income, together with the
stability displayed by its national market
and optimistic economic forecasts have
helped the hotel industry once again
become an attractive option for investors
the world over. This is confirmed by
recent openings as well as expected
future openings at its main destinations.
T
he Palladium Hotel Group will bring Hard Rock to Europe by converting two Fiesta Hotels & Resorts establishments in Ibiza; the Club
Don Toni and Hotel Don Toni, and turning them into the Hard Rock
Hotel Ibiza, which is expected to open in May 2014. Its music theme will
be evident in the multifunctional space which will unite both buildings
as well as in the international live concerts to be held within the hotel.
It will offer 480 rooms, 235 suites and extensive facilities such as the
Rock Spa, the Body Rock exercise area and the Rock Shop as well as two
swimming pools with bars and private bungalows.
Luxury chains such as Hilton Worldwide continue investing in Spain. The
chain has recently announced that it will open its fourth DoubleTree by
Hilton hotel, the Alexandra Barcelona, which will commence operation as a
franchise in 2014, even though it will still be managed by Diagonal Hotels.
The hotel offers 116 rooms, three event rooms, a restaurant and a
fitness centre. The brand will open another DoubleTree by Hilton in Girona at the end of the year. These hotels will therefore join the recently
opened DoubleTree by Hilton & Spa Emporda, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel
& Conference Center La Mola and the Hilton Garden Inn Seville.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide has reopened the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel after extensive refurbishment work and an investment of 13 million Euros, now featuring new equipment and energy
saving facilities, security, accessibility and environmental sustainability.
Luxury brands are not the only ones backing Spain however; midrange
companies such as Holiday Inn by InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG)
are also extending their presence in the country. IHG opened its Holiday
Inn Madrid Las Tablas this summer, its 36th establishment in the country, with 133 rooms. The hotel is operated under franchise by Gestión T3
Hotels, which already runs four other IHG establishments.
The number of budget hotels in Spain is also increasing. Travelodge,
for example, has invested 40 million Euros in its recent openings in Madrid and Barcelona, Travelodge Madrid Alcalá and Travelodge Poblenou,
and continues to be on the lookout for further central locations in both
city centres, as well as in other cities such as Granada, Malaga and
Seville. The chain already has six hotels in Spain.
All segments of the industry are currently growing. The Pierre & Va70
The Club Don Toni and Hotel Don Toni, both belonging to Fiesta Hotels & Resorts,
will become the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza in May 2014.
cances Center Parcs group will open a new complex in the centre of
Benidorm on the 29th of November, after signing an agreement with
Torrewigra, pushing its total number of establishments in Valencia up to
four plus its over 3000 holiday units at 37 complexes across Spain. The
new Pierre & Vacances Benidorm Levante occupies 20 floors and will
feature 98 apartments. Spain is a priority for the group’s property and
tourism development plan; the group aims to become a market leader
for this kind of accommodation.
Barcelona
Barcelona is the Spanish destination to see the most development,
across all segments, from the first Generator hostel in Spain, Generator
Barcelona - offering 726 beds after an investment of 35 million Euros;
to the second hotel by heterofriendly Axel Hotels to open in the city, a
newly constructed building featuring 88 rooms and which will open at
the end of 2014.
The Olivia Balmes hotel also opened its doors this summer. This four
star hotel features 140 rooms and seven meeting rooms. Its international sales are supported by the Preferred Hotel Group and the Sterling
Design brand, as is the case with its sister hotel Olivia Plaza.
Many recent and future openings are located within historical buildings
which have been tastefully converted into hotels. Such is the case with
the old Codorniu headquarters, which Catalonia has converted into the
HC Passeig de Gràcia, its 28th hotel in the city, where this chain features
3.000 rooms altogether. The chain invested 7 million Euros to create this 4
star superior hotel, offering 74 rooms and an outdoor pool surrounded by a
terrace as well as other facilities; all in the centre of the city.
The old Banca Catalana building on Paseo de Gracia has also been
converted into the 4 star Royal Passeig de Gràcia, with 124 rooms. Its
refurbishment required an investment of 10 million Euros. The project
involved embellishing the façade and recovering the building’s interior
structure, highly valued architecturally, as well as making it technologically and energetically efficient.
H10 Hotels has opened its H10 Port Vell and H10 Urquinaona Plaza
this summer, thereby reinforcing its presence in the city, where it already
has nine hotels, eleven by next year with the opening of the H10 Rambla
Cataluña and the H10 Art Gallery, both 4 star superior hotels. H10 Port
Vell boasts the same star rating and is located in a 19th Century building
which maintains its original façade and other details; the 4 star H10
Urquinaona Plaza is located in a noucentisme style building which dates
back to 1869 and has been completely refurbished.
Smart Rooms will invest 4 million Euros in the rehabilitation of the old
Marxan textile factory to convert it into its first hotel in Barcelona, the
3 star boutique Smart Trafalgar Hotel. The building covers over 3000
metres squared and was built in the 80s; it will feature 60 rooms and
plans to open during the last trimester of 2014.
Madrid
The Palladium Hotel Group is betting highly on Madrid – it opened
its first Only YOU hotel there in September; a new urban hotel concept
which combines boutique hotel characteristics with lifestyle establishment features. The chain has invested over 20 million Euros in order to
buy and rehabilitate the historical 19th century building located right in
the centre of the city and has turned it into the Only YOU Hotel & Lounge
Madrid, featuring 70 rooms.
At the same time, its urban division, Ayre Hoteles, has acquired a
building opposite Atocha station which it will convert into a 4 star hotel
with 230 rooms. Building work will begin at the end of the year and the
hotel is expected to open at the end of 2015.
Another Spanish chain to reinforce its presence in the capital this
year is Hotusa. The chain has opened its sixth establishment in the city,
Eurostars Plaza Mayor, a four star hotel with 92 rooms and located within a building which used to house Frontón Madrid. The hotel is the
chain’s first hotel within the city’s historic centre.
More and more chains are restoring
historical buildings in city centres so that
they can open hotels full of character
after significant investments
Paradores
There are other establishments occupying historical buildings which
are also worth a mention; such as the 4 star Gran Hotel de Panticosa
Resort, built in 1896 and restored in 2004 by Rafeal Moneo, which is
reopening this month and extending its capacity by 42 rooms; the Boutique Hotel Casa Granados, old residence of the composer Enrique Granados in Tossa de Mar, in Costa Brava, which now houses seven suites;
or the Casa Consistorial hotel, which has begun operating this summer
within Fuengirola’s old town hall, built in 1868, and now featuring 39
71
rooms after an investment of 5.7 million Euros.
But the chain par excellence when it comes to restoring old protected
buildings is undoubtedly Paradores, whose Corias Monastery in Cangas
de Narcea (Asturias), has been inaugurated this summer by HRH Queen
Sofia, initially with half of its rooms available (86), all located within the
monastery founded in 1032 and declared a National Heritage Building
(Monumento Histórico-Artístico Nacional).
Future Openings
These latest openings will soon be joined by others expected in the
not too distant future, such as the two future openings by Meliá Hotels
International within the first phase of BCN World for 2016, which will result in 1100 rooms, 850 of which will be within 4-5 star establishments
and 250 of which will be in a Me by Meliá hotel – the chain’s highest
standard of accommodation.
SB Hotels will this month open its 4 star SB Plaza Europa in Hospitalet,
with 245 rooms; Hotusa will open its Eurostars Segovia either at the end
of this year or at the beginning of the next – featuring 75 rooms of the
highest standards of luxury; Sercotel Hotels will add three new establishments to its existing 350 in 2014; Roc Hotels will also add another
rented property featuring 185 rooms; Hoteles Catalonia will extend its
presence in the country with two new hotels with 130 rooms each; and
AC Hotels by Marriott will open an 89 room establishment in Valencia.
Hipotels plans to open two hotels in Mallorca, one 400 room and one
200 room establishment, by 2015 and 2016.
Paradores has opened the Corias Monastery this summer in Cangas de Narcea
(Asturias), initially featuring 86 rooms.

CUB
On the British market in Cuba
A total of 102,097 British
tourists arrived in Cuba
from January to August
2013 – according to the
latest data supplied by
the National Office of
Statistics and Information
at the time of writing –
98.8% of the total arrivals
recorded during the same
period a year before, and
the equivalent of 5.1% of
the total arrivals to the
island during that time
(1,995,806). Specifically
in August, 13,172 British
visitors came to Cuba,
4.3% less than in the same
month in 2012.
D
espite the fall in numbers, the United
Kingdom maintained its traditional
second place on the cumulative list
until August 2013 –behind Canada and followed by Germany, Argentina, France, Italy,
Mexico, Spain, Russia, Venezuela, Chile, Holland, Colombia, Switzerland, China, Peru,
Brazil and Austria.
Despite the slight fall in acumulated arrivals
during the first eight months of this year compared to the year before, the behaviour exhibited by the British market indicates a modest
recovery from the drastic fall of the previous
year which closed with 87.4% of the arrivals
recorded in 2011. 2011/2010 and 2010/2009
had maintained positive rates of growth at
+0.8% and +1.2% respectively.
Welcome news is the imminent arrival of the
British cruise liner the Thomson Dream, with a
capacity for up to 1,700 passengers, between
the 14th and 16th of November 2013.
Another possible indication of a positive
recovery is the news that British travllers are
choosing Cuba over and above all other Carribean destinations, with the island accounting
for 70% of all British bookings made for the region, according to online British travel agency
Loveholidays.com.
80
Jonny Marsh, one of the online portal’s directors, stated that a holiday in Cuba “offers
tremendous value for British tourists as its
products are great value for money.” The specialist added that Cuba had been off the radar
when it came to the main trends for the area,
but that now the all inclusive offers available in
five star hotels have been able to position the
country amongst the most attractive destinations in the UK’s travel market.
CUB
Casa Granda Hotel, 100 years of history
and professional service
S
antiago de Cuba’s past and present are
intimately linked to the Casa Granda
Hotel, a symbol of the Caribbean city’s
hotel industry and Cuba as a whole. Centrally
located, few hotels in the urban capital are as
evocative as the Casa Granda. It opened for the
first time on the 14th of January 1914 and is
gearing up to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
Guests staying at the Casa Granda experience
Santiago in all its glory as the hotel is located
right at the heart of its historic centre. It is ideal
for those wanting to enjoy an active social life as
a great deal of the rich cultural, historical, commercial and urban events calendar goes on in
close proximity to the hotel. The Cathedral and
the Ambiente Histórico Cubano Museum, located
within the oldest building in Cuba - one of the
oldest in America and once owned by Adelantado Diego Velázquez - are located nearby.
Also near the hotel are the Casa de la Cultura
Miguel Matamoros and the Pepe Sánchez Casa
de la Trova - the country’s leading trova house,
considered the cathedral of traditional Cuban
music in the city -, the Carnaval Museum, the
Cultural Heritage headquarters, as well as other
centres and institutions not to be missed on a
visit to Santiago.
Over its 100 years of existence, the hotel has
accumulated all types of honours and awards,
more than any other hotel in Santiago. Since
its opening, the local and national press has
admired its culinary excellence and its French
touch, very appealing to society at the time.
During the 40s it became famous for its balls,
banquets, personalised service for business
travellers and special offers for tourists.
A long list of illustrious guests have stayed at
Casa Granda; including the Mexican artists Tito
Guizar, Jorge Negrete, Pedro Vargas and Eva
Flores; the writer Graham Greene; the Spaniards Pedrito Rico and Imperio Argentina; the
Peruvian novelist Ciro Alegría; the singer and
actress Libertad Lamarque; from the world of
sports, no less than Joe Luis and the legendary
Babe Ruth. Cuban artists including the great Er82
nesto Lecuona, Rosita Fornés and Alicia Alonso
-plus their company- have also graced the hotel
with their presence, for in truth those visiting
Santiago cannot resist the charm of this, one of
its most beautiful buildings.
Classified as a four star hotel and operated
by the Cubanacán group, the establishment
boasts 58 rooms - 40 twin rooms, 15 double
rooms and three junior suites, one with disabled facilities and 21 with views of the Céspedes Park, Santiago’s harbour and most of
the historic centre of town.
Its large lobby, hall and enclosed balcony,
affords a splendid view of the park and its surroundings; a popular meeting point for tourists
and locals alike where there is never a lack of
traditional Cuban music. But when it comes
to panoramic views, nothing compares to the
views from the Roof Garden, a window over the
city. Take in the most beautiful images of the
bay and the mountains surrounding it, images
which are sure to come to mind every time you
hear someone mention Santiago de Cuba.
This urban hotel is not only admired for its
privileged location and architectural elegance
of eclectic and very sober style. The building
also adds atmospheric aesthetic value to the
landmark area of Céspedes Park.
Another of its age old attributes is its gastronomy; the hotel offers two snack bars, La Terraza
and El Mirador - one of the most attractive - and
an a la carte restaurant, decorated in 40s style
which serves international cuisine and the best
Cuban specialties. Casa Granda is extremely
proud of its classic Cuban cocktail selection,
made by the most skilled bartenders; daquirís,
mojitos, cubalibres, ron collins, mary pickford, to
mention just a few of the wide variety on offer, all
with the hotel’s own special touch.
Other facilities include a hall for events, medical services, car hire, shops, the sale of post
cards and souvenirs and 24 hour Internet service.
Casa Granda, 100 years of history and professional service… lavishing guests with its
friendliness and hospitality in the most Caribbean of all Cuba’s cities. A stalwart of Cuba’s
hotel industry.

Half a century of Bayamo,
a significant touristic event
Sierra and Santo Domingo villas - also operated
by Islazul - both located within the Sierra Maestra, the highest mountain range on the island.
Given the attractions of the Granma province,
a series of circuits, routes and day tours have
been designed which take tourists to places like
Marea del Portillo, where the beach meets the
mountains and where visitors can dive with the
International Albacora Dive Centre, operated
by Cubanacán at 17 different dive spots; the
biological centre at Cauto River, a new option
for nature tourism and for observing different
species; the Turquino and Desembarco del
Granma national parks -an UNESCO World Heritage Site- where visitors can access the Turquino Peak, the highest point in Cuba at 1.974
metres above sea level, amongst others.
The seven oldest Cuban cities were founded by Governor Don
Diego Velázquez, between 1511 and 1519, making “the fact that
various Cuban cities are preparing to celebrate 500 years of
existence, a significant touristic event,” as Manuel Marrero Cruz,
Cuba’s Tourism Minister pointed out.
B
aracoa reached half a century in 2011,
and Bayamo will do the same in 2013.
Also about to turn 500 are the cities of
Trinidad, Sancti Spiritus and Camagüey, in
2014; Santiago de Cuba in 2015 and La Habana in 2019.
Bayamo, established on the 5th of November
1513, first named San Salvador de Bayamo, is
the current capital of the Granma province, in
the eastern part of the island, and offers urban
tourism and cultural history, combined with sun
and sand, water based activities and nature at
locations nearby the area.
Birthplace of the country’s first struggles for
independence, Bayamo boasts National Monument status. Here is where the first trova song
came about, La Bayamesa, now Cuba’s national
anthem, and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, father
of the nation, was born here. Its cathedral proudly features the only fresco with a patriotic motif
84
located in a church on the island. The first ever
cemetery to be located outside a church in Cuba
and in America, the San Juan Evangelista Cemetery, operated here until 1919 and some ruins
of its beautiful portico are still evident today.
48% of all Cuba’s historic sites are to be
found in Granma territory; the freedom struggles of the 10th of October 1868 and the War
in 95 both commenced here.
Three Islazul accommodation establishments
operate in the city: Royalton Hotel, offering 33
rooms and located in the historic centre in a
building which dates back to the 40s; Sierra
Maestra (204 rooms, three stars) and Villa
Bayamo - 34 rooms.
Both individual and package tour tourists can
stay at other establishments in the province,
such as the Club Amigo Marea del Portillo hotels,
all inclusive three star resort operated by Cubanacán; Guacanayabo and Niquero, in Manzanillo
and Niquero, respectively; plus the Balcón de la
This destination can be reached by air, via
the domestic Bayamo airport or the international
airports at Manzanillo - the second largest city
in the province- and Holguín; and over land, following the Central road which crosses the city of
Bayamo where colonial horses and chariots are
still in use as a popular method of transport and
even more popular touristic attraction.
The programme created to celebrate 500
years of Bayamo, which involves its residents
and pays tribute to the improvements made to
its tourism products, includes a new city tour
called, Five centuries of Tradition, to be offered
by the Islazul Sales Agency. Other activities
include; the restoration of gastronomic establishments, parks, squares and monuments, as
well as thirty three valuable objects at the necropolis; the creation of a liquor to be sold in
clay jugs at shops owned by the Caracol chain;
a cookery workshop on regional Bayamese cuisine to promote local cookery; fine art exhibitions, craftsmanship gatherings, dance shows,
literary functions and theatre productions.
The night before the big day, which will feature a cultural gala, tourists and residents alike
will countdown the hours to the city’s 500th
birthday and the celebration will conclude on
the 5th of November with a solemn event held
by the local authorities and a commemorative
mass in honour of the city’s foundation.

CUBA’S THRIVING
NATIONAL TOURISM
Cuba’s internal tourism grew
by 12.6% during the first seven months of the year when
compared to the same period
in 2012. National tourism
growth reached its peak in
August, breaking the record
of the number of Cubans
staying in hotels on any one
particular day, with 17.099
guests, according to Bohemia
magazine.
In total some 339.470 Cubans stayed at hotels as tourists from January to July last
year and the sector authorities predict that this year will
close with 625.000, almost
100.000 more than in 2012.
The Tourism Ministry’s sales
director, José Manuel Bisbé,
explained in an interview with
Bohemia that international
tourism has decreased by
1.8% so far this year and that
“without a doubt, the greater
number of reservations generated by national tourism is
a complement which makes
up for occupation levels, income, efficiency etc, if only
slightly”.
According to Mr Bisbé, the island hopes to reach “at least”
two million Cuban customers
in the next five years. Official
data indicates that 80% of
Cuban reservations made this
year were made from within
Cuba itself and not by family
members located elsewhere.
MELIÁ’S CONTINUED
CONFIDENCE IN
CUBA
Spanish hotel chain Meliá
Hotels International is reinforcing its presence in Cuba,
after 23 years of activity. Its
promotional director on the
island, Frank Delgado, said
that one of his company’s

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS_
most significant projects is
centered in the southern
central part of the country,
in a city where colonial architecture is very well preserved. For it is there that
they hope to open their Hotel
Meliá Trinidad, with over 400
rooms, in a joint construction contract signed with the
country’s touristic authorities.
Over a million people passed
through their hotels in Cuba
last year, which he argued
confirms the efficiency of the
project,
The Hotel Meliá Marina
Varadero in the eastern part
of the island, at a location
which aspires to become the
most important port in the Caribbean and for which two out
of three construction phases
are already complete, is a
significant example. Opened
on the 15th of August, it is
considered a true jewel of
the hotel industry, not only for
Cuba, but for the Meliá group
as a whole, and is an ambitious resort featuring rooms,
restaurants, moorings and a
variety of services.
The facilities include 1300
moorings and 423 rooms,
with exclusive superior floors
and the idea that at its completion next year it will even
be able to receive cruise liners, and has its sights set
on the future activity of recreational vessels in Cuban
waters. It has registered 99%
occupation rates during its
first period of operation, and
most of its guests have been
local tourists, commented
Nora Fernández, one of the
facility’s sales specialists.
Meliá’s continued commitment to Cuba instills complete confidence in its tourism
industry, and is supported by
the 26 hotels administered by
the chain on the island in collaboration with local groups
Gaviota, Cubanacán and Gran
Caribe. In 2013 the Spanish company boasts 11.134
rooms in Cuba (40.06% on
administrative
contracts),
18.9% of the 60,000 plus
rooms that currently exist on
the island; all of Meliá’s of
four and five star category.
CUBA, FAVOURITE
CARIBBEAN TOURISM
DESTINATION FOR
2014
Cuba occupies first place on
the list of Caribbean tourism
destinations, accounting for
the highest number of reservations for holidays during
2014, according to reports
from British travel agency
Loveholidays.
70% of the bookings for
holidays in the region for next
year are for holidays in Cuba
– the island offers excellent
value for money for British
tourists, Jonny Marsh, site
executive, explained. Marsh
stated that so far Cuba had
been off the radar when it
came to the main trends for
the area, but that now the
all inclusive offers available
in five star hotels have been
able to position the country
amongst the most attractive
destinations in the UK’s travel
market.
These assessments are all
part of research carried out
by Loveholidays on the Caribbean destinations registering the highest number of
sales for a European tourism
market. The study concluded
that Jamaica was the cheapest island in the region for
travellers on a budget. The
results show that most of the
bookings for holidays in La
Havana and Kingston are for
All Inclusive holidays, meaning that the overall price for
the holiday is not significantly
affected by the cost of food
and drink in the region.

turístico en Cuba trae hoy
como una de las principales
estrategias gubernamentales
la diversificación de la oferta,
entre ellas el turismo de naturaleza, dijeron expertos. El
especialista de la dirección
de desarrollo del Ministerio
de Turismo de Cuba (Mintur),
Telmo Ledo Llanes, consideró
además imprescindible defender esa forma de apreciar
la industria recreativa y mirar
al futuro.
Experts claim that diversification is currently one of the
government’s main strategies
when it comes to the development of the tourism sector in
Cuba; including that of nature
tourism. Telmo Ledo Llanes,
a development expert from
the Cuban Tourism Ministry
(Mintur) also reiterated the
importance of this approach
as well as that of constantly
looking ahead.
He explained that around
2.5% of tourists arriving on
the island buy a specialised
nature package. There are
currently 35 different areas
in Cuba which receive nature
tourists, both on specialised
package tours as on day trips.
25% of all tourists choose to
go on a day trip or some kind
of nature activity at some
point during their holiday in
Cuba, the equivalent to one
in four of all arrivals. Even
though Sun and Sand continues to be the island’s leading attraction, the amount of
people preferring a different
kind of break is growing by
the day.

Federation of Culinary Associations of the Cuban Republic (Facrc) was celebrated this month. According
to Eddy Fernández, Facrc
president, the event was an
important opportunity for
the promotion of Cuban cuisine and tourism development, via the attendance of
120 delegates from across
the country.
He claimed that participants
promoted typical national
cuisine that responds to
international
standards,
always as part of tourism
development.

explained that Cuban food
experts also discussed the
federation’s statutes, regulations and the main report,
together with four theses or
fundamental subjects and
the new National Executive
Board was also elected.
The convention’s main objectives included the evaluation of ways, methods and
strategies for maintaining
Cuban cuisine’s worldwide
prestige, as one of the main
cultural attractions for foreign tourists. The Facrc is
currently made up of 52,000
members, 31.592 of them

CUBA TAKES PART IN
SHANGHAI TOURISM
FAIR
Thanks to the effort made
by the Tourism Ministry and
the Cuban consulate, Cuba
took part in the seventh edition of the Shanghai Tourism Fair with a small stand
promoting its music, featuring images, posters, diverse
material and presenting
traditional products such
as rum and tobacco. The
Cuban consul Ariel Lorenzo
said that the Shanghai Fair
had this year reached a record number of exhibitors,
participants, travel agents
and representatives from
the world over, among them
20 tourism ministers.
1200 buyers, over 200 travel agents and tour operators
and representatives from
over 115 countries and regions in the world attend the
exhibition backed by China´s
National Tourism Administration, its Civil Aviation Administration and the Government of Shanghai, detailed
Lorenzo.
Elizabeth Vela, from the Cuban Tourism Ministry (Mintur) said that Cuba´s continued participation at these
events in Shanghai hopes to
attract more Chinese visitors
to the island. She explained
that such an increase is difficult to achieve due to the
long distance and the lack
of direct flights connecting the two countries, as
stopovers in other countries
make the trip more expensive. She did say however
that Chinese tourism agencies have added Cuba to the
list of destinations they offer clients wishing to travel
to Latin American countries
such as Mexico, Peru, Chile
and Argentina, amongst others, and she reiterated that
steps are being taken to
increase the number of visitors received.
