The British market favours Spain more every year due to the excellence
of its tourism products
Spain hopes to continue
breaking records
British clients prefer destinations located near the coast. Photo Credit HomeAway.
The number of British visitors to Spanish
destinations has grown once again this year.
Its many charms are irresistible to those
who have a high opinion of Spain, the country
which continues to provide the best quality,
security and atmosphere for their holidays.
2
011 was an excellent year for Spain;
it received a total of 56.7 million international tourists, 7.6% more than
the year before, 4 million tourists more,
according to data published by the IET
(Touristic Statistics Institute).
The British market accounted for a
6
great deal of this increase, by sending 1.2
million more visitors. This behaviour, far
from decreasing in 2012, has been further
reinforced. Spain convinced the market
once again, and in a big way, so much so
that by September a total of 11.2 million
British tourists had visited the country,
1.1% more than in the first nine months of
last year. The British market represented
23.9% of arrivals.
As for expenditure, the figures up until
August indicate that a total of 7.775 million Euros were spent by British tourists,
6.65% more than in 2011, an increase
which coincides with the objective to increase this issuing market’s profitability
as set out in Turespaña’s strategic marketing plan, within which the appreciation
of the pound has been key (12% in 2012).
On the other hand, according to the
corresponding tourism situation report
for the third trimester of 2012, the British
market “showed signs of expansion both
in the arrival of tourists as in the amount
spent and in a lesser way in the number of
overnight stays.”
The secret to Spain’s success is clear.
The British “come to Spain because they
consider it their second home,” explained
the director of the OET (Spanish Tourism
Office) in London, Enrique Ruiz de Lera.
“This familiar feeling together with their
perception of Spain as a safe destination
are fundamental to Spain’s leadership, as
well as the variety and quality of its touristic offering.”
The tourism product which experiences
the highest demand and accounts for most
of the arrivals from the British market continues to be beach holidays. “Spain is the
more and more prominent, as well as those related to enjoying nature and sports.”
This is because Spanish destinations are
offering options which are richer and more
varied by the day, in all of these sectors.
The public’s perception of
Spain
Spain is close to outstanding when it
comes to the level of satisfaction it instills
in international tourists. In 2011 it received a total 8.5 points out of 10, higher
even than the year before. Out of all the
foreign tourists polled, the British were the
most satisfied with Spain, giving it a total
The British market accounted for a great
deal of this increase, by sending 1.2 million
more visitors
clear leader especially when it comes to
family tourism, and accounts for over 42%
of bookings for family holidays from the
United Kingdom.” However, “trips related
to gastronomy and enology are becoming
of 8.7 points. All of its aspects were very
highly valued, especially accommodation
and gastronomy, while public transport
and infrastructure were also appreciated.
This year the British will have also been
satisfied financially as the revaluation of
the pound against the Euro is an important
advantage afforded by a holiday in Spain.
And this despite the fact that a study carried out by Skyscanner shows that the
British perceive Spain to be more expensive than it actually is. British tourists classified it as the thirteenth most inexpensive
country, when in fact it occupies the fourth
position in terms of real costs.
ABTA predicted a good year
for Spain
At the beginning of the year, the British
travel agency association ABTA predicted
a good year for Spain in its annual report.
The association claimed that last year’s
growth contributed towards establishing
its position as the most popular foreign
destination amongst British tourists, named the most welcoming destination for
the family sector. ABTA expected this position to be maintained or even for it to
grow, as indeed it has.
According to the association the destinations in highest demand are the
Balearics and the Canaries as well as
7
coastal destinations in general due to the
beaches. Barcelona continues to be the
number one city-break destination, while
Madrid, Granada and Seville are becoming
increasingly popular. ABTA recognises the
fact that Spain is concentrating its promotional efforts in 2012 on introducing this
issuing market to less well known destinations. This includes the gastronomy on
offer in the north of the country, natural
attractions and cities such as Toledo, Salamanca and Avila which are now more
accessible from the UK. Another major
attraction is the weather which enables
tourists to enjoy visiting outside of the traditional summer season.
According to the data presented by
ABTA at its annual convention in October, the number of package deals sold to
British tourists is growing, as this is the
option chosen by 48% of people who have
travelled abroad over the last twelve months. While the number of people booking
trips independently is decreasing. Another
trend observed is that the services of offline travel agencies are being sought more
and more; 27% have chosen to use this
option, compared to 25% in 2011.
Holiday Rentals
The demand for holiday rentals in Spain
is also growing significantly. Of all the
international markets for this sector, the
British has grown considerably, according
to data published by the Homelidays website, showing a 38% increase from the
year before. As for destination preference,
visitors tend to go for Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and Andalusia when looking
for this type of accommodation, and these
areas have experienced an increase in demand of 61%, 38% and 18% respectively.
According to the figures published by
HomeAway, Mallorca, Malaga, Barcelona
and Alicante are in the Top 10 destinations favoured by the British when it comes to choosing a holiday rental.
Spain in the United Kingdom
Spain has been very active this year at
promotional events in the United Kingdom.
In the digital world, a new strategy has
been created for the OET in London which
includes a website adapted to the needs
of British tourists, social media presence
and a new and innovative concept; a social newsroom directed at journalists and
bloggers which integrates content from
social networks, press releases, audiovisual content and other subjects of interest. The office also announced the launch

of a “very innovative E-news bulletin in
2013”.
The OET will sponsor the Spanish contemporary art festival in London, Spain
Now! for the very first time. This will be the
fourth edition of the festival which takes
place over two months and brings visitors
closer to Spanish contemporary culture
through exhibitions, concerts, performances, projections and other artistic and
cultural demonstrations including gastronomy, visual arts, architecture, cinema
and literature. The OET is collaborating in
all activities and they made special mention of a journey through contemporary
Spanish drawing, the concert presented
by Galician artist Jane Joyd and the screening of documentaries ‘Los cuadernos de
Barro’ by Isaki Lacuesta which demonstrates artist Miguel Barceló’s creative process, and ‘El Bulli: Cooking in Progress’,
about Chef Ferran Adriá both organised
in collaboration with the London Spanish
Film Festival.
The OET has also come up with a new
initiative involving pop-up restaurants in
London and featuring some of Spain’s
best chefs. “In 2012 we hosted Andoni
Luis Aduriz, at the same time as his book
presentation and Restaurant magazine’s
awards ceremony for the 50 best restaurants, and David Muñoz, who was here
while Spain Now! was on as well as a promotional event on Madrid held in London.”
The OET has also been at Harrods coinciding with a promotion for Galicia. This
will be the fourth time the OET has carried out a promotional campaign at Harrods. The luxury department store will
spread awareness amongst the London
public about Galicia’s most sophisticated
side. Its shop windows, which are seen
by some eight million people a month, will
promote this fusion of cultural and gastronomical elements, through Galicia’s main
icons. The promotion of Spain at Harrods
will take place throughout the store with
a branding campaign in different areas of
the establishment including promotion on
screens, posters, in lifts, on receipts and
in the shop guide amongst others.
Looking forwards to 2013, the OET has
several projects planned “including an
innovative concept involving a series of
street marketing events to promote the
Flamenco Festival in London.”

The Spanish hotel industry,
in constant development
New openings, rennovations and operator changes
According to the seventh edition of
the Hosteltur Hotel Chain Ranking,
over 100 Spanish companies boast
a total of more than 1000 rooms.
There are also a lot of foreign
companies with hotels in Spain,
companies with less than 1000
rooms, and independent hotels.
When faced with all this variety,
British tourists have a tough job
deciding where to stay during their
holidays in Spain.
L
atest additions to the hotels on offer include new openings
by top international brands, such as Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts, which opened in Mallorca with its Jumeirah Port Soller, last April.
Other brands have reinforced their presence; Marriott International, for example, which entered the Spanish market through
its allegiance with AC Hotels and which has opened two hotels
under its Renaissance brand in Barcelona. One of them is the AC
Diplomatic, which has been rebranded as the Renaissance Barcelona Hotel. The other belongs to Catalonia and is the Renaissance
Barcelona Fira.
Rezidor has opened its second Radisson Blu in the country in
the Canary Islands, Louvre Hotels Group has added its tenth hotel in Spain – the Tulip Inn Zaragoza Plaza Feria- and Hilton has
introduced its Hilton Garden Inn brand with an opening in Seville.
Accor’s main priority in Spain is to reinforce its leadership within
the inexpensive hotel market with the Ibis brand, and has opened
new Ibis establishments this year at destinations such as Catalonia
and Madrid.
The InterContinental Hotels Group makes its debut in Spain with
the Hotel Indigo brand and has opened the Hotel Indigo Barcelona
Plaza Catalunya this year, which will be followed by the Hotel Indigo Madrid in the summer of 2013.
Starwood has opened its first Sheraton in Madrid and has reopened two of its most emblematic hotels after extensive renovations,
Hotel Alfonso XIII in Seville and María Cristina in San Sebastián.
The company will also be refurbishing the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel, which will close temporarily for maintenance work
in January 2013.
The number of low cost hotels has also been increased by the

international company Travelodge, which has opened its fourth
hotel in the country in Valencia and which will open two hotels in
Barcelona and Madrid in 2013.
Pierre & Vacances, which offers a different accommodation
concept, has also opted for Spain, where it has opened four new
resorts so far this year and has announced its intention to open 10
more as well as 1500 apartments before the end of 2014.
The Allsun chain, headquarters for Alltours tour operator, has
also reinforced its presence in Spain with the incorporation of various hotels, two of which used to belong to Edén Hoteles in the
Balearics.
In Magaluf in the Balearic Islands, Meliá Hotels International is
rebranding and restructuring the area via its Calviá Beach Resort
project the first phase of which was completed this summer with
the opening of two hotels (Sol Wave House and Beach House).
Also in Mallorca, the Luabay project in Cala Major is worth mentioning; the chain has opened three hotels after completely rennovating them as 4 star Adult Only establishments.
These are just some examples of the rennovations and openings
planned, but there are lots more in the pipeline for the Spanish
hotel industry. Paradores de Turismo has opened two new hotels
this year: Parador de Cádiz (the old Hotel Atlántico) and Parador de
Lorca, and will soon be opening the Parador de Corias.
Future projects such as Eurovegas in Madrid, Paramount Park in
Murcia or Barcelona World will also bring about a series of new accommodation services to add to Spain’s extensive hotel offering.

The hotel industry is adapting to
customer requirements through
diversification and specialisation
Adult Only establishments are an example of how Spanish hotels are evolving
The Sandos Mónaco Hotel & Spa in Benidorm, has been operating as an Adult Only hotel
since last year.
Hotels must specialise if they want to compete
within the current climate. Even though the
financial crisis is making business difficult,
hoteliers are showing their capacity to keep
moving forwards, and have registered better
results than other sectors. Many of them have
found that segmentation is key.
C
ustomers are becoming more and
more demanding and the Spanish
hotel sector has had to adapt its
offering according to their requirements.
An example of this is the increasing importance of certain types of establishment such as Adult Only or All Inclusive
Resorts, models which were not very
common in Spain, but which have developed in the industry and are now here
to stay. Some of the hotels included in
these categories were built specifically
12
as this type of resort, while others have
been adapted at a later stage.
The All Inclusive regime first came to
Spain some 20 years back, when hotel
chains such as Magic Costa Blanca began operating this model on the mainland. It is therefore not something new
in the Spanish hotel sector, but most
companies have been limiting their use
of this system at foreign destinations
such as the Caribbean, although there
are now more and more establishments
of this type on Spanish territory.
The move towards Adult Only accommodation has also been more prominent in the Caribbean, and this is a
modality which is often combined with
the All Inclusive regime and which is becoming more and more important within
Spain itself. The Riu Don Miguel in Gran
Canaria for example, will open after renovations this winter as Riu’s first Adult
Only hotel in Spain.
Barceló Hotels & Resorts also now
offers customers this type of accommodation at its Barceló Jandía Club Premium hotel in Fuerteventura, at the Barceló Illetas Albatros, in Mallorca, and at
Barceló Hamilton, in Menorca. Barceló
chooses to cater for this segment only
at destinations where it operates various
hotels, which means that they are able to
cater to all types of demand.
Sandos Hoteles has also opted for
the Adult Only modality, and its Sandos
Mónaco Hotel & Spa, in Benidorm, has
been operating as such since last year,
as well as other hotels in the Caribbean.
Garden Hotels offers three hotels which
cater to this public, Cala Millor Garden,
Holiday Garden, and Garden Playa Natural in Huelva, the latest hotel added to
this segment on reopening in April 2012
after a complete refurbishment and now
focused on catering to couples.
These are just some of the many Spanish hotels which are diversifying their
business towards this concept. According to travel website Atrápalo, the demand for Adult Only hotels has increased
exponentially, despite the fact that prices
at this type of establishment are considerably higher. Mur Hotels has taken
this one step further by creating www.
adults-only-holidays.com, a professional
website dedicated to booking hotels of
this kind.
Themed hotels are also gaining popularity, focused on specific sectors, such
as music or enology. Miguel Casas, director of CBRE Hotels Madrid highlights
the initiative launched by Fiesta Hotel
Group and its Ushüaia concept, which it
is planning to expand to other locations
and where young guests can enjoy music
and nightlife themed establishments.
According to Casas, opting for a specific niche can be very profitable. However, he also points out that “to depend
completely on one type of customer
the company must be very familiar with
the market and the hotel must strive to
remain flexible when it comes to basic
parametres such as decor, equipment
and facilities as these trends in demand
are constantly changing and it would be
best not to have to invest too much in
reconverting the hotel if the theme is not
successful.”
In any case, it is fair to say that customers react favourably to specialised
hotels and believe their differentiation
adds value when it comes to choosing
their accommodation.

It has decided to renew its corporate image after 50 years
Fiesta Hotel Group changes its
name to Palladium Hotel Group
Fiesta Hotel Group
has announced that
it will be changing its
name to Palladium
Hotel Group. The
hotel chain is the
sixth most important
in Spain, with 48
establishments and
13.832 rooms.
T
he company has said that with this
change it hopes to transmit the positive evolution of its Palladium Hotels &
Resorts brand, launched by Fiesta Hotels &
Resorts in 2002, a brand which represents
the group’s core values. The hotel chain
will present the change at the World Travel
Market (WTM) in London.
The group’s Corporate Commercial
Director, Juan José Calvo told Hosteltur
that “this name change to Palladium Hotel
Group will allow us to transmit our brands’
new image of modernity and elegance. We
believe that after 50 years in the industry
we needed a change and what could be
better than going for the brand which has
afforded us international recognition.”
Palladium Hotels & Resorts was created
ten years ago with the inauguration of two
luxury eco-resorts on the Riviera Maya,
Mexico. Since then, Palladium has grown

significantly and currently owns 15 properties in Mexico, the Dominican Republic,
Jamaica, Brazil and Spain.
With this in mind the company has chosen Palladium Hotel Group as the new
name which best represents the changes
to the organisation, known as Fiesta Hotel
Group since 2002. The group currently
boasts 48 properties in six different countries and plans to expand both in Europe
and in America, with two new openings
planned for 2013.
Calvo added that “we needed to designa-
te one umbrella as Palladium Hotels & Resorts continues to gain visibility and loyalty
on an international level. It is vital that we
focus on our strengths as we move forward
and Palladium offers a series of standards
such as high quality, service and added value, which we believe are fundamental for
our company’s success. On the other hand,
we also hope this renovation will add value
to and help us position our group’s different
brands, such as Ayre, our brand of city hotels which has grown significantly over the
last six years.”
During the WTM Palladium Hotel Group
will give visitors the opportunity to experience the chain’s latest innovations,
which combine the Paytouch payment
system with the online social network,
Facebook. Paytouch technology allows visitors and guests at the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel to make purchases via biometric
technology, using their finger prints. Since 2011, the hotel is also equipped with
touch screens though which users can
update their Facebook status and upload
photographs which have been taken directly through cameras on these devices,
to the social network.

T
he new brand will feature seven
hotels which have various characteristics in common; their rating, their

service. These are hotels with a young and
fresh outlook as far as their management
and commercialisation is concerned, offering great prices and excellent quality.
The first is the whala!balmes, located in

company was previously hiring the hotel
from its previous owner and did so during

by the satisfactory results achieved. The
hotel is unique in that it forms an interesting triangle with two other hotels, the HM
Gran Fiesta and the HM Tropical.
Since then the chain has gone on to buy
the whala!san diego and whala!solimar,

Together these offer a total of 300 rooms
and 600 beds and will be operated as one

“The new brand has come about as a
result of circumstances, not as a second
brand but rather as a brand which is completely independent of HM,” the general
director of the company, Toni Horrach,
assured us. “As for HM we have realised
that it is evolving as a 4 star brand with
a specific standard, and market circumstances have resulted in other hotels being
added to our portfolio which do not have
the same standard as the one envisaged
for the HM brand.”
These hotels, he says, “respond to a

right to travel,” and to choose a 3 star hotel if it adapts to their interests.

does not mean anything but which also
means a lot. It is a surprise, it is young, it
is something that everyone can write in a

think it identifies the establishments included in the brand very well.”

New ways to enjoy your holidays
PR
Introducing Garden Hotels´s new sport vacation concept
Undoubtedly, booming sports are those which are practiced
in direct contact with nature and allow us to enjoy the
beautiful landscapes in the Balearic Islands or Andalusia.
G
arden Hotels pledges to promote
sports activity and helps its guests
to do its favourite sport without worrying about anything else: cycling, hiking,
nordic walking, water sports, golf, horseriding and other more conventional activities from a wide sports vacation offer to
satisfy everybody at any age.
Due to its strategic location near the
sea, Garden Hotels facilities enables us
to practice different sports, such as sailing,
fishing, scuba diving. From our hotels you
can also enjoy other remarkables sports like
hiking, cycle touring and nordic walking.
Nordic walking is an activity that is gaining followers fast. This popular sport was
started in Finland in the early 20th Century,
and it is similar to cross-country skiing. It is
an enhancement of regular walking using
walking poles in routes with different de-
grees of difficulty. Nordic walking can be
enjoyed at any age. It is a very healthy sport
activity as it is an easy way to improve your
physical fitness and your cardio.
In Majorca, you will be able to cover
endless and winding paths and walk up
the most difficult mountain passes in Serra de Tramuntana. You will also discover
S´Albufera Natural Park or the coasts of
Alcudia, Cala Rajada and Playa de Muro.
In Andalusia, you can enjoy covering the
unequal setting of the Cabo de Gata Natural Reserve in Almeria or the stunning
natural landscape of Río Piedras Marshes
in Huelva.
Whichever it is your Garden Hotel, we
help you to choose your sports gear, we
rent you a bycicle, or we just look after your
bycicle in our cyclist station. We also inform
you of the best routes, according to your
likings and expectations. A cycle route is
an excellent option to enjoy Serra de Tramuntana.
But there are many more options and
possibilities available. Ask for information
about these and many other routes in your
Garden Hotel.
Being always in direct contact with nature, culture, the amazing balearic and andalusian landscapes, sea and countryside,
beach and mountain... You, Garden Hotels
and sports. This is Garden Sports.

Blue Sea Hotels a new chain
currently under expansion
PR
After just three years the chain already operates hotels in the Canaries, Balearics, on the
coast of the mainland and in France and Malta
sented by Eastern European tourists, and
one of its establishments, the Hotel Cervantes in Torremolinos (Costa del Sol) already
welcomes Chinese guests.
Four new hotels
in Malta
The 2012 high season had not yet come to a
close and Blue Sea Hotels was growing once
again, this time in Malta, where it will be running
four establishments, a total of 1334 rooms: St.
George’s Park Hotel & Apartments, La Vallette
Resort Hotel & Apartments, San Anton Hotel &
Apartments and Santa Maria Hotel, which will be
added to its network over the next few months.
A three star Blue Sea Hotels hotel in Lanzarote.
In just over three years, Blue Sea Hotels has grown
to incorporate 22 establishments, located across
the Canaries, the Balearics, on the coast of the
mainland and in France and Malta. Most of them
are three and four star hotels, and the chain is
preparing to incorporate further properties.
T
he new hotel chain Blue Sea Hotels
was founded in 2010 with the opening of the Hotel Blue Sea Don Jaime,
in Cala Millor (Mallorca) and other hotels
joined the company gradually during the
same year until the chain included the over
twenty hotels it numbers today, most of
them of medium to high categories, and
offering ‘all inclusive’ services to a varied
but demanding clientele.
Blue Sea Hotels has maintained a competitive and dynamic outlook since its conception in all the areas it operates in, especially
the Canaries where it operates twelve hotels
in Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura,
the Costa Teguise Beach (Lanzarote) being one of its flagship establishments. The
Costa Teguise is located on the front line of
the beach, and offers an ‘all inclusive’ service since May last year, the company made
an initial investment at this hotel in order to
ensure a very attractive offering which now
welcomes a variety of customers.
The chain’s overall objectives are clear:
to take over hotels, either as property or just
under management, improve their situation
in aspects such as internal organisation,
and achieve maximum occupation substantially increasing the hotel’s ‘Revpar’. In
this way, 90% of the hotels offer ‘all inclusive’ options, some exclusively and others
by way of mixed formulas, thereby adapting
to market needs. These tactics have shown
themselves to be successful over Blue Sea
Hotels’ short existence.
Another key to its success has been
its policy to target multiple nationalities,
without limiting itself to the main issuing
markets - the British and the German. As a
result the market which grew the most for
the chain this season was the one repre-
The St George’s Park hotel in Malta, a
recent addition to the chain.
Blue Sea Hotels defines itself as a company which specialises in holiday hotels,
from three star affordable options to superior four star establishments and, on a
commercial level, it is characterised for
applying a very intensive Yield Management
which allows it to adapt itself to a market
which is constantly changing, and can therefore ensure agencies and final customers
the convenience of choosing its products.
Hotels by the Slopes
As the chain is currently expanding, Blue
Sea Hotels is extending its business into
other hotel sectors, and has managed to
establish itself within the Ski tourism industry thanks to a collaboration with the French
brand Madame Vacances. As a result, the
company now offers an extensive portfolio
of products, from villas to hotels, and accommodation only to ‘all-inclusive’, in the
best European skiing destinations, such as
the Pyrenees, the Alps or the area known
as ‘The Three Valleys’.

Jet2.com, British Airways and Vueling increase their services
The reduction in routes does not affect
flight connections between Spain and the
United Kingdom
secutive year of expansion from its central
headquarters at Barcelona El Prat Airport by
launching 28 new routes, which include a
new connection which is especially attractive to business passengers, to London Gatwick. The company already flies to London
Heathrow.
Jet2.com has announced a number of new routes from several of its operating bases
Even though several airlines, including the two main
low cost airlines, EasyJet and Ryanair, have reduced
the number of flights they operate to Spain due to the
recent fall in demand within the Spanish market, high
fuel prices and increased taxes at Spanish airports; the
cuts have not had a huge impact on connections with
the UK. And there are exceptions: Vueling, Jet2.com
and British Airways have reinforced their commitment
to this market.
E
asyJet announced that it is leaving its
operating base in Madrid-Barajas as
from this winter due to the increase
in taxes – which is much higher in Madrid
than in Barcelona – and the oversupply in
the sector which translates as low income
per passenger and less productivity than at
its other European operating bases. The low
cost airline will continue servicing Spain, but
it will reduce its operations in the country by
7% and by 20% at the Spanish capital.
Ryanair, despite government subsidies,
will do away with 15 of its routes in Spain
and will reduce the frequency of 46 others,
all from Barajas and El Prat. As for the United
Kingdom, the Irish company will eliminate
the route connecting Madrid with Manchester and the routes from Barcelona to Leeds
Bradford and East Midlands.
Iberia’s low cost subsidiary, Iberia Express, will cease to operate its seasonal
route between Madrid and Edinburgh.
Exceptions to these reductions include the
English airline Jet2.com which will launch
four new routes from May 2013 between
Spain and the UK, connecting East Midlands
Airport with Gran Canaria, Ibiza and Menorca. The company also plans to add flights
28
from Glasgow Airport to Menorca, Murcia
and Gran Canaria as from May, and to increase the frequency of existing routes
between the Scottish airport and Palma de
Mallorca, Alicante, Ibiza, Lanzarote and Tenerife. At the same time, and also from May,
Jet2.com will begin operating a route connecting Menorca and Manchester.
Vueling will embark on its fourth con-
Traditional Airlines
British Airways (BA) will intensify its presence at Barcelona, Malaga and the Balearic Islands: as from the 23rd of February
2013, it will operate a new route between
Barcelona and London Gatwick airport and
it will also increase the frequency of flights
between Malaga and the British capital by
30%. Additionally, as a result of increasing
demand, BA will extend its services between
Palma and Ibiza and London City Airport, initiated this summer, into the winter months.
Iberia, which is about to undergo major
structural changes – possibly the greatest of
its kind since it was privatised – did not want
to comment on its winter programme till its
holding company, IAG, announced the terms
of the structural changes to take place in the
company which could include a redundancy
plan to reduce employee numbers by over
6000 workers. Air Europa maintains its two
daily flights to London Gatwick Airport, and
will continue to operate this route throughout
the winter and summer months.
Renfe launches Renfe Spain Pass for international tourists
The Spanish railway company Renfe has launched the new Renfe Spain Pass, a pass for
tourists not resident in Spain to use when travelling by train in the mainland which provides
more flexibility and reduced prices across one of the largest railway networks in the world
and the greatest High Speed network in Europe, with a total 2.900 kilometres of service.
Renfe aims to attract part of the extensive market of international tourists arriving in the
country every year without a car, a total of 35.9 million. Most of these tourists come from
the United Kingdom and tend to visit the main destinations included on the AVE network:
Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville or Malaga, amongst others.
The new pass offers a flexible number of trips – from 4 to 12 – for a fixed price and is valid
for a month on Long Distance and Medium Distance AVE trains. The pass can be purchased
online, at travel agencies and at Spanish and foreign stations up to six months in advance.

I
ts favourable Mediterranean climate and
thousands of kilometres of coastline, as
well as its two groups of islands, the
Canaries and the Balearics, are reason
enough for Spain to be a prime destination
for beach holidays. But Spain is further enhanced by its ample experience in responding to the demands of holidaymakers, the
security and safety it offers tourists and the
excellence and quality offered by its hotels
and resorts, making it the best place in Europe in which to enjoy a holiday by the sea.
Apart from the numerous natural attractions Spain has to offer; beautiful sandy
beaches, secluded bays, and breathtaking cliffs, the country offers a great many
activities which bring visitors closer to the
coast through its marinas and ports and
also boasts a great number of resources
adapted to family holidays, single travelers
or tourists looking for some adventure.
Family Holidays
With its 580 kilometres of coastline and
close to three hundred and fifty beaches
and bays, Catalonia continues to be one of
32
the best destinations for sun and sand tourism. The Generalitat de Catalunya takes the
prevention, control and improvement of its
coastal waters and beaches very seriously,
and each municipality cleans the sand at
its beaches on a daily basis. It is therefore
not surprising that a lot of Catalan beaches
have been awarded blue flags and qual-
Nature by the sea
The coast of Andalusia, which is over
800 kilometres long and extends between
the calm waters of the Mediterranean
and the aggressive and exciting Atlantic
ocean is characterized by the variety of its
scenery, from wide open beaches of white
sand in the provinces of Cadiz and Huelva,
to secluded bays beneath breathtaking
cliffs on the coast of Granada and its subtropical microclimate, the Costa del Sol or
Almería. Andalusia’s beaches also feature
marinas, golf clubs, beach promenades,
open air sports facilities and boat mooring areas. Beach tourism is very much
connected to nature tourism in Andalusia,
with special places to visit such as the
Doñana National Park, the most important
Biological Reserve in Spain, or the Cabo
de Gata-Nijar Nature Reserve with its untouched and secluded beaches.
Mallorca gets a makeover
Established beach holiday destinations
such as the island of Mallorca are working towards improving what they have to
offer and adapting it to the times. A great
example of this is the Calviá Beach Resort project, launched by the Meliá Hotels
International hotel chain and declared of
‘regional interest’ by the local authorities,
which aims to renovate Magaluf, a legendary holiday resort and British tourists’ favourite on the island.
This summer two new hotels have
opened on the front line of the beach,
Beach House, which includes the modern
beach club Nikki Beach, and Sol Wave
House, featuring a leisure area called Wave
House Mallorca with two wave pools for
surfing in with a 2.640 metre wide sun
terrace right in front of the beach and live
music provided by famous DJs.
The second phase of the complex will be
completed in the next 3 to 5 years and will
include two more hotels, Sol Antillas and
Sol Barbados, up to 3.500 rooms, and will
connect the front line of the beach with
Avenida Magaluf via a walkway, as well as
the refurbishment of some hotels into condo hotels or apartments and the renovation
of commercial and conference areas.
Another destination which stands out for
One of the wave pools in Sol Wave House of Magaluf, Mallorca.
its beach holiday offering is the Community
of Valencia, with several specialised hotels
offering over 47.000 rooms in well known
areas such as Benidorm and the Costa
Blanca, Gandia and Southern Alicante. Be-
nidorm continues to be a favourite destination for British tourists thanks to its climate,
quality beaches, complementary products
and the level of service it offers which is
renewed year after year.

The Balearics add further value
and focus to their offering
The Balearic Islands
continue to take steps
towards improving
their offering; they
have initiated a
number of ambitious
projects, with a
clear focus on quality
and innovation, and
continue to make
their wide-ranging
resources more widely
available every year.
T
he British market is one of the most
important and most loyal to the Balearics. A total of 2.9 million British
tourists visited the region in 2011, 8%
more than the year before. It was an excellent year for the islands and British tourism
has continued growing through 2012. It
had increased by 4.6% by August, reaching numbers of 2.3 million, when the same
period a year before registered 2.2 million.
According to research published by the
Balearic Government’s Tourism Ministry,
British tourists visiting the Balearics are
mainly between 25 and 44 years of age,
40.8% of the total, and 45 to 64 years of
age, 39.1% of the total. 75.1% of these
visitors stay at hotels and 65.2% travel on
package deals. The annual report also indicates an increase in preference for higher
categories, and this is something that the
Balearics are hoping to respond to with
renovations to their facilities.
Many areas of the Balearics are also currently undergoing rennovations, thanks to
private funding and support from the public
administration and as part of projects aimed
at injecting new life into the islands. Highlights include Meliá Hotels International’s
Calviá Beach Resort in Magaluf; the Luabay
revamp in Cala Mayor or future projects in

Pil-lari Playa joins Allsun Hotels after undergoing renovations which will turn into a 4 star hotel.
Sa Ràpita and Canyamel.
Calviá Beach Resort is a new complex
which, once finished, will feature seven
newly refurbished Meliá Hotels International hotels in the area, these are; Sol Antillas
Barbados, Sol Trinidad, Sol Guadalupe, Sol
Jamaica, Sol Magaluf Park, Beach House
and Sol Wave House. The project has been
declared of ‘regional interest’ by the Balearic government.
It has been conceived as part of a global
renovation of the area and includes golf as
one of the complex’s most important components. The first phase has already been
launched with the opening of Sol Wave
House and one of the Beach House buildings. The project will also include a theme
park complex, the Sol Katmandu Resort, for
which the Sol Magaluf Park and the Katmandu Park will be joined together and will
feature special effects projected on the hotel’s three facades.
As for the Luabay Hotels & Leisure
project; this will feature three hotels in
Cala Mayor, the current Luabay Marivent,
Luabay Costa Palma and Luabay La Cala,
which have been completely renovated.
The chain has invested five million Euros
to increase the hotels’ ratings from 3 to 4
stars. Palma Town Hall has fully supported
the project which it applauds for being consistent with municipal tourism policy, as
both hope to promote Palma de Mallorca
as a city break destination.
Luxury and golf
A further two projects have been declared of ‘regional interest’, both new five
star hotels. The first includes a new 9 hole
pitch and putt course. The second will be
located in front of Golf Canyamel, which
will ensure maximum enjoyment of this golf
facility, one of the 26 wonderful courses
available on the islands.
The project featuring the new pitch and
putt course will be built in Campos, Mallorca. The complex will be built in the Son
Durí finca in Sa Rapita and will feature 285
rooms and 203 suites. It will also include
a large sports facility with a social club,
swimming pool, paddle and tennis courts, multisport hall,
the 9 hole pitch and putt course and a golf academy. The
Balearic Government highlighted the fact that the project
has been developed with quality tourism criteria, architectural integrity and with respect for the environment, as well
as with sustainability and energy efficiency.
The other establishment will be operated by the Hyatt
hotel chain, and will offer luxury services and 142 guest
rooms. The total investment for this project is around 100
million Euros.
In much the same way that Canyamel Golf and its customers will benefit from this new project, Golf Son Termens
has benefited from the new hotel Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa, which opened on the 24th of April 2012 and is
the first Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts hotel in Spain and its
first resort to open in Europe.
A total of 108.471 metres squared of hotels will undergo complete refurbishment in the Balearics this winter.
These include the Pil-lari Playa, in Playa de Palma which
will join the Allsun Hotels group as a new 4 star hotel in
2013, and Grupotel’s Montecarlo and Port Alcúdia which
will also be upgraded to 4 stars.
Paradise on your doorstep
Nature and a favourable climate are the best touristic
resources Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera have
to offer. These factors make them ideal for taking part in
sports or simply for soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. Sailing on the clear turquoise sea, walking or cycling
through almond groves, diving in the calm and transparent
waters; these are just some of the activities you can enjoy
on the islands.
In Menorca, visitors can uncover the secrets of all the
civilisations which have left their mark on the island, enjoy
exquisite cuisine, stroll through traditional markets or spend
an afternoon horse riding. In Ibiza, visitors discover medieval
history with their children, and enjoy spectacular nights out
within the huge variety of quality nightlife options available.
In Formentera nothing beats spending the day at one of the
wonderful beaches, feasting on delicious seafood or wandering along the island’s green hills.
A new format for Mallorca’s offering
Mallorca has a very wide ranging tourism offer and the local authorities work very closely with the sector to develop
and present it as effectively as they can within all markets.
The FEHM (Mallorca Hotel Business Federation) has also
made an important contribution in this respect by creating
‘A sea of experiences’. The brochure, published in Spanish
and English, lists all the island’s specialised offerings and
can also be viewed on visitmallorca.com or by scanning a
QR code using mobile devices.
The entity hopes to offer specialised packages featuring specific products in the near future. The brochure includes comprehensive information about cycling routes,
walking and hiking, wine tourism, gastronomy, culture and
shopping as well as about specialised establishments and
agencies.

Smart Destination and Playa de Palma Digital Destination.
The capital of the Balearic Islands will
lead the Smart Destination project, a
project which will be applied at several
Mediterranean destinations over the next
three years, with FEDER coordinating the
project and managing the funds.
This international project features the set
up of a technological platform which will
allow for improved usage of its public facilities: buildings, public lighting etc. At the
same time it will involve introducing new
systems for irrigation, fire-prevention, urban cleanliness etc. As the project leader,
Palma will be the main exponent of all of
the above.
As for the Playa de Palma, the seaside
area will become an intelligent digital destination thanks to a series of technological
activities planned in an agreement with the
Tourism and Sports Ministry and the state
agency Segittur.
These new technological projects will
be launched in the near future in order to
guarantee a sustainable development for
the destination. The main services to be

The Balearic Islands are attending the most
important tourism fair in Great Britain, the
World Travel Market in London, for yet another
year, as part of their new comprehensive
Tourism Plan (PITIB) and in a clear move towards
creating and developing its tourism product.
Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera aim to
maintain their position as market leaders within
the British market.
T
he Balearic government’s Tourism
and Sports department will be busy
promoting the islands’ differentiated and diversified tourism product at
the most important tourism convention in
the United Kingdom. In fact, this is one of
the main plans of action set out by its new
Comprehensive Tourism Plan (PITIB), the
tool which will set the course for the Balearic community’s tourism policy over the
next four years.
According to the plan set out by the
PITIB, the Balearic Islands are developing
new strategies and actions which will add
value to certain unique qualities offered by
its tourism product. In this way they hope to
do away with the seasonality of the destina38
tion and to equip the islands with a tourism
offer which goes beyond Sea and Sand;
one which attracts a different type of tourist
and above all, which can be enjoyed 365
days a year.
Golf, Nature, Culture, Water Sports, Cycling… these are some of the main attractions for tourists during a visit to the Balearic Islands, but there are also other services
which have not been as heavily promoted
in the past, such as Gastronomy, Health
Tourism, Conferences, Adventure Tourism,
Shopping and even elite or accessible tourism. In short, there is a whole array of opportunities which can enrich and promote
the destination’s tourism offer.
In order to add value to all these products
Strategic Boards and Tourism
Product Forums
The Balearic Ministry for Tourism and
Sports has recently created a series of
Strategic Product Boards in order to develop all these products in collaboration with
the private tourism sector. These boards,
which have been created to manage the
operative plan set out for each one of the
tourism products to be developed by the
PITIB, will act as a meeting place for technicians from the ministry, specifically from
the ATB (Balearic Tourism Agency) and
representatives from the entities, organisations and associations related to the product and its specific sector. Their objective is
to promote new tourism market segments,
to make the destination more competitive
and unique as well as to work towards doing away with its seasonality.
© Jaume Capellà
For now the boards for Golf, Water
Sports, Adventure Tourism, Nature, Gastronomy, Culture, Mice, Cycling as well
as Health Tourism have already met. The
meetings will take place once every two
months and hope to become a fundamental
tool in the development of a unique tourism
offer for the Balearic Islands, in close collaboration with the private sector.
At the same time, and as part of its
focus on developing the Balearic tourism
product, the Balearic Ministry for Tourism
and Sports has launched a series of specialised forums for certain products which
they hope will become meeting points for
professionals in each sector. The ministry
hopes these forums will allow for an exchange of opinions and will establish new
strategies which allow for the continued
development of said products.

As part of the Balearic tourism strategy,
all this work aimed at the development of
the tourism offer must later be reflected in
a promotional strategy which will spread
awareness amongst tourism professionals
and end customers about the diversity of
what the Balearics have to offer. With this
To date the Ministry for Tourism and
Sports has organised various meetings of
this type such as the I Foro de Turismo y
Gastronomía, (the 1st Tourism and Gastronomy Forum) which took place last May
or the I Foro de Turismo y Deporte (the 1st
Tourism and Sports Forum) which took
place in October. The department intends
to continue in this vein and to hold more
meeting forums for professionals involved
in other target products for tourism in the
Balearic Islands.

successfully within the different issuing

of the islands; Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and
Formentera, with different counters and
meeting areas. The Balearic area will also
include 8 modules for private businesses
from the tourism sector such as Melià Hotels, Air Europa, Hi Hotels and Hipotels, who
will also be present as co-exhibitors for the
Balearic Islands.
The Ministry for Tourism and Sports
will use this event in London as an excellent opportunity to promote its tourism offer with a special emphasis on its
specific tourism products. In short, it will
be showcasing its commitment to the differentiation and diversification of the Balearic offer. In this way it hopes to compete
with other Mediterranean destinations, to
promote an added value which favours the
influx of tourists outside of the traditional
high season and of course, to maintain its
leadership in the British market; a market
which is vitally important for the Balearics,
and especially for the islands of Menorca
and Ibiza.

For the cyclist we have 5 routes all contained within our municipal boundaries.,
this means that Calvià, is the perfect base
for cyclists. The route map which has been
created is the best working tool for cyclists
and as Mayor, Manu Onieva said, during
the presentation, it is possibly the best one
ever created from a public office.
The new routes
will be promoted
internationally, and in a
bid to increase winter
tourism, the massive
potential of Calvià’s
sports facilities will
be showcased to
the various source
markets.
C
alvià Town Hall will pull out all of the
stops, during the winter months,
with a view to battling against the
short holiday season, by way of promoting
sports facilities to source markets. Calvià
has no shortage of possibilities where
sport is concerned, including walking and
cycle routes, in general, facilities, considered amongst the best in the Mediterranean. Some 80.000 promotional brochures
will showcase no less than 11 walking
routes and 5 cycle routes. Trade fairs and
tourism events will be the venue for the
distribution of said brochures, which will
advertise these products to the Austrian,
German, Scandanavian and British mar40
kets. Further information can be obtained
from Calvià’s tourist information offices, or
via the website www.visitcalvia.com
Each and every one of the advertised
routes are in great condition, with clear signage and pictorial information. In addition
to the above mentioned website they will
be posted on Facebook and Tripadvisor.
Local Authorities and professionals have it
very clear, that walking and cycling are two
of the main activities which attract tourism
during the winter months. Bearing in mind
the potential of this municipality, and the
facilities on offer, it could easily become
known as the number one Mediterranean
destination in this field. With quality and
standards second to none.
Mayor, Manu Onieva, stated “It is our utmost priority to work relentlessly at lengthening the tourist season , in order that as
from March through to November the hotels of Calvià keep their doors open, thus
creating further bookings and helping to
maintain employment for our residents “ .
“Furthermore, “ he added, “ we are constantly seeking new and diverse products
to increase the season, by way of working hand in hand with the private sector,

MINORCA
NATURALLY
The pearl of the Mediterranean. This is how the island is described
by many visitors, the most beautiful of the islands in the Balearic
Archipelago. Minorca is still little known and is now opening its
doors to visitors who will enjoy not only the beauty of its coastline
with pine woods leading onto its white sandy beaches and its many
virgin beaches accessed only on foot or by sea, but also its fascinating cultural and historical heritage.
The local government, Consell Insular de Menorca, is now working
on promoting the values associated with enjoying nature, by offering active holidays in the open air coupled with excellent gastronomy and an insight into the island’s rich cultural heritage.
The protection of the environment is an important issue within
all the political parties and the island society. In 1993 Minorca
was nominated a Biosphere Reserve and this year has received
the honour of being nominated by the UNESCO as the World
Centre for Sustainable Development for the network of Biosphere Reserves and Coastal Areas.
The flag ship of Minorca’s new outdoor tourism is the Cami de
Cavalls, an ancient coastal bridle path, which circumnavigates the
whole island. Gran Route 223 offers magnificent opportunities
to walkers, cyclists and horse trekkers. Those who have walked
the Camino de Santiago will appreciate this 185 klm. path with its
unbeatable scenery.
The long, safe coastline offers a variety of activities for those who
enjoy the sea. Sailing, windsurfing and the now very popular kayaking are all sports to be enjoyed and see a different island perspective from.
For those travellers who would like to treat their palates to a gastronomic experience they will not be disappointed. The island’s
hand made cheeses and local sausages, Mahonese sauce which
was invented in Mahón during the French occupation, the gin still
distilled locally using the recipe brought to the island by Admiral
Nelson and the delicious wines from the many small vineyards are
all delights waiting for the discerning gourmet.
British visitors will be interested to see the landowners houses still
painted what is known locally as English Red and will enjoy driving
down the first East-West road called Kane’s Road which was built
in 1720 under the island’s first British Governor Lieutenant Governor Richard Kane.
If the island can be proud of any one thing it must be the sheer
number and variety of prehistoric monuments making the island
one large archaeological site. Minorca boasts more than 1.800
Talayotic monuments which has encouraged the island authorities
to seek recognition from the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Minorca is in harmony with Slow Tourism. A land where the hands
of the clock tick slowly and accurately allowing the visitor to relax
and enjoy everything the island has to offer and to step out of
the rush of modern society for a moment. Holidaymakers can
bask on the white sandy beaches and swim in the turquoise waters
but might also like to relax another way and pamper themselves
in one of the many Spas in the island’s hotels, where alternative
therapies and activities are also offered. – all valid and pleasurable
reasons why one should take advantage of a journey to this island.
Minorca is BALANCE: balance between sun and sand, interesting culture, beautiful scenery, unbeatable gastronomy, healthy
living and unquestionable quality tourism.

New 2012-2016 Strategic Promotional Plan
The Canaries present their new
sun and sand tourism model at
the World Travel Market
The islands offer the best weather in the world as a differentiating factor
Growing losses have
forced the Canaries
to revise their tourism
model and promotional
strategy; they have
sought to establish
plans of action for
each one of the
islands in the region,
under the general
umbrella of the Canary
Islands brand. This
has resulted in the
2012-2016 Strategic
Promotional Plan which
is being presented at
the WTM.
T
he islands aim to consolidate themselves as a “unique, competitive
and preferential destination,” and
for this they “need an image and brand
which is shared by all agents, to spread
the destination’s unique and differentiating
attributes while also ensuring an adequate
market positioning for each sector. For this,
and in order to define the Strategic Plan,
each island’s priorities and plans have been
taken into consideration.”
With this in mind, a detailed diagnosis
of the situation has been carried out which
analysed the causes for this fall in competitiveness. The suggested reasons include;
competition from other destinations, the
limiting factor of airline connections, the
need to improve market positioning and
image, the reduced productivity exhibited
by tourism business models, the increased
dependency on commercialization channels,
an offer which is not specialised enough and

The Canaries plan to use the weather to build a proposal for holiday experiences which adapt
to every sector.
certain areas becoming obsolete, resources
which are not valued and products which fail
to exhibit an adequate identity, changes in
demand created by new types of traveller,
and an under-developed public and private
management system.
The Government of the Canary Islands
explains that all these determining factors
“make it necessary for us to implement a
new tourism model, one which is based on
our current strengths and virtues and which
incorporates the new trends and parametres exhibited within the industry.” Within
this new model, tourism becomes a generating factor within the islands’ changing
economy; it provides new employment and
boosts other sectors of the economy.
Tourists go from being tour operator
customers to destination customers, which
implies more of an effort to capture new
clients and instill loyalty. In order to do this,
the public and private sector must work together in all areas of the industry and they
must call on the support of the local community. In the same way, companies must
stop competing with each other in tour
operator catalogues and instead establish
allegiances to compete together through
product clubs and area clusters.
All of this revolves around a new sun and
sand model which involves renewing the
traditional concept by way of an improved
structure and by integrating every aspect of
what the region has to offer. This renovation must go hand in hand with an improvement in market positioning.
Opinion polls show that the Canary
Islands is a well known brand but that it
lacks any recognisable differentiating factors except for its weather and beaches,
and this is one of the reasons given for not
visiting them. The local authorities have
therefore decided that the weather should
be “the differentiating and unique factor
on which to base the proposal for a holiday
experience which adapts to each sector,
which integrates the region’s entire offering, and which justifies higher prices on
the Canary Islands.”
This new market positioning is therefore
based on the weather, the best weather in
the world, and this is not just a promotional
argument, it is also based on scientific proof. In fact, the Canaries have already been
classified in various international research
projects, as having the world’s best climate, and universities and centres look set to
conduct further research in the future to
demonstrate the functional and emotional
benefits afforded by the best weather in the
world. The weather is also responsible for
the idiosyncrasies of the locals and their
exotic nature.
New Products
Within this new sun and sand model, the
Canaries have established three product
categories which they want to promote. The
first category features products directed at
Special
GOLF
couples, families, old age pensioners and
beach holidays in general, as these are in
great demand. The second features food
and wine, theme parks, hiking, rural holidays and shopping; products that do not
constitute the reason for travel, but are in
high demand once the tourist is at the destination. And the third category features all
products which, even though they are not in
high demand, contribute significantly to improving the destination’s image and market
position, such as nautical tourism, diving,
golf, active tourism etc.
Apart from the above, the islands have
identified complementary products which,
even though they are still in conception
stages, present an interesting development potential in the Canary Islands. These include scientific, educational, linguistic and language opportunities as well as
wine tourism, pictorial and cinema themed
options, and they offer a great many possibilities.
Markets
As for strategy within key markets for the
Canaries, such as the United Kingdom, the

and will integrate all aspects of the

islands have opted to maintain their position, rebranding themselves with a focus
on the best weather in the world and developing specific actions by region and segment. This is the proposed line of action for
countries such as Germany, Spain, Norway,
Belgium and Ireland as well as the United
Kingdom, countries which are already familiar with the destination, which means that
new sales arguments will be necessary.

These initiatives are complemented by
an improvement in market positioning in
countries exhibiting high potential such as
France, Italy and Russia; as well as exploring possibilities investing only in identified
opportunities in countries such as Sweden,
Denmark, Poland, Switzerland, Austria,
Holland, Finland and the Czech Republic,
without carrying out general campaigns.
Within these markets, the Canaries have
separated demand by segments according
to socio-demographic groups and travel
motivation, identifying the ones which present the most development opportunity:
families with children, couples and senior
tourism; as well as tourists looking for a
relaxing break combined with getting to
know the destination, whose numbers are
growing significantly.
Communication Campaigns
For strategic and financial reasons, the
region will not be carrying out any large
scale publicity campaigns as it has done
in the past. Instead more attention will be
paid to content, both internally and externally produced as “it is time to work on our
52
brand and to redefine our position within
the market as a destination worth visiting.”
So from now on “the amount of conventional publicity will be reduced and communication will be more important. We will go
from an intrusive form of publicity to being
well positioned when our potential clients
look for inspiration for their trips, and more
emphasis will be placed on public relations,
on the creation of content and on promoting
viral communication according to an orientation towards inbound marketing.”
As for communication and marketing
activities for 2013, a budget of seven
million Euros has been put out to tender
and the priority will be on a multimedia
focus which includes online media, social
networks, new technology and marketing
events and activities; as well as all the
traditional promotional tools such as billboards and the media.
British Market
The British market is key for the Canary Islands; it is immensely attractive and
maintains an important competitive edge.
It is the leading market in volume with a
market quota of 30% which represents
over 3.5 million tourists, and the second in
turnover with a total of 25%, preceded only
by Germany.
The United Kingdom is a mature market,
as over 90% of its population has visited a
foreign country, and the Canary Islands are
very well known. 38% of the population of
the UK has visited the islands at some point, and 20% have visited over 10 times. So
it is not surprising that its repeat business
index is 84%, eight per cent more than the
average of international visitors. Its preferred destinations, in order of preference,
are; Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria,
Fuerteventura and La Palma.
Over the first nine months of the year the
number of British tourists has fallen by 3%,
compared to the 14% increase registered
last year. However, the predictions for the
winter are quite positive, judging by the development of bookings, and there could be
a last minute boost as the current financial
situation makes it difficult for people to plan
their holidays in advance.

Tenerife, a great incentive in the
sunniest working atmosphere
The Centro de Congresos del Puerto de
la Cruz, which has a maximum capacity for
almost one thousand delegates, is located
inside Taoro Park, surrounded by palm
trees and on top of a hill with unbeatable
views of the city and the sea.
T
enerife is today one of the most qualified and established conference, convention and incentive destinations in
Spain. In 2011 alone, almost a thousand
meetings were held in Tenerife, with the
participation of some fifty four thousand
delegates.
Its natural surroundings, year round
moderate climate, wide variety of outdoor activities and unique locations, as
well as its beauty – which attracts around
five million visitors every year – make Tenerife an increasingly popular destination
when it comes to organising professional
trips. It boasts forty-two protected natural
areas which cover half of its territory, volcanic beaches with black and white sand,
lush green forests of laurisilva, a lunar
landscape over two thousand metres above
sea level and year round sunshine; in short,
it is truly unique and makes for an excellent
working environment.
The island is just over 100km long and
wide and offers five different congress
centres, all able to cater for large groups
of people. In the south, surrounded by
one of the most varied accommodation
offerings in the country, are two fully active and unique conference facilities. The
first, la Pirámide de Arona, is a stunning
congress centre with an auditorium for over
two thousand people, and is part of a resort complex made up of five hotels which
together provide a total of more than thirty
meeting rooms suitable for conventions of
54
all types and sizes. The other centre, built
more recently, is the Magma Arte y Congresos Conference Centre. Voted “best
congress centre in Southern Europe” by
British magazine Business Destinations in
2009; the centre combines magnificent
design by architect Martin Menis with a
functionality which is seldom found in this
type of premises. Its main hall is a marvel
of open space and can accommodate up to
two thousand five hundred people.
In Santa Cruz de Tenerife, two congress
centres, designed by Santiago Calatrava,
have become the central focus for corporate and cultural activities in Tenerife:
the Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín,
whose image has come to represent the
city (even though it has been open for a
relatively short amount of time), and the
Centro Internacional de Ferias y Congresos, which boasts one of the largest
spaces without columns in Spain.
There is also a conference centre in
Puerto de Cruz, in the north of Tenerife, an
area with a significant amount of hotels, all
capable of accommodating large groups.
Tenerife boasts one of the most powerful accommodation infrastructures in
the whole of Spain with more than sixty
thousand hotel beds in four and five star
hotels, and is serviced by two international
airports.
It is also well worth noting the advantage
of organising conferences, conventions or
incentive trips in the current economic climate and paying a maximum of 7% tax, as
opposed to the 21% payable in any other
region in Spain. This reduction in costs
is applied to any services contracted in the
Canary Islands, via the IGIC (Canary Islands
General Indirect Tax).
The Tenerife Convention Bureau offers
reliable up to date information at no charge
to all conference and corporate event organisers and works with over eighty associated companies – for which it acts as a
link – which offer all the services required
by this type of event. The Tenerife Convention Bureau is also promoting sustainable
event organisation and activities which are
in keeping with Corporate Social Responsibility for companies who would like to apply
their CSR policies to local projects.

issuing market for tourism. This year, sports events,
water sports activities, nature, shows and wine and
gastronomy have come to represent an important
part of what the area has to offer its visitors.
T
he United Kingdom is the main foreign
tourism issuing market for the Community of Valencia; it represented a
total 40.5% of the tourists visiting in 2011.
The Community is also the fourth most
popular Spanish destination amongst British tourists, preceded by the Canaries,
the Balearics and Andalusia. In 2011, it attracted 16.8% of the British tourists which
visited Spain. According to the Ministry of
Tourism, Culture and Sports, the slowdown
experienced by the region over four years
finished last year with a yearly growth of
10.6%, up to 2.1 million arrivals. 4.3 million British tourist overnight stays were registered over the year, 5.1% more than in
2010; an increase driven by Alicante whose
figures grew by 36.5%. Benidorm accounts
for 85% of overnights while Valencia has
seen a decrease of 5.6%.
Tourists from the United Kingdom are the
58
ones which spend the most money during
their holiday: by August this year they had
spent 1.000 million Euros in the Valencian
Community, 11.8% more than during the
same period in 2011.
Over recent years the Community has
noticed a change in the type of British
tourist visiting; tourists are now younger,
between 25 and 44 years of age and their
main motivation to visit is to enjoy leisure
activities during their holiday.
The Tourism Ministry highlights the fact
that this has coincided with a change in the
way British tourists perceive the Valencian
Community. They have gone from considering it a destination which is exclusively for
beach holidays to including it as an option
for short breaks, culture, nature, gastronomy and sports events. Apart from going
to the beach and on walks, British tourists
show particular preference for visiting mu-
seums and monuments, enjoying cuisine
and local festivities and for buying handcrafted products; all important aspects of
the Community’s tourism offer.
“This means that the possibilities of attracting these tourists all year round have
increased significantly. In the last three
months of the year alone, the region hosts
tens of concerts, plays, shows, exhibitions,
festivals and gastronomy fairs; a calendar
of events which caters to all tastes and
ages and which is further enhanced by
sports events such as the Tennis Open 500
in Valencia and the international motorcycling event in Cheste, the Generali Gran
Prix,” said the Ministry. It also pointed out
that autumn is one of British tourists’ favourite times of year “as they are not used
to the high temperatures experienced during a Mediterranean summer.”
A tourist which is loyal to
Murcia
612.071 British tourists visited the region
of Murcia in 2011. British tourists represented 57.3% of the region’s market quota
in 2011, which means that it was more
stable than the year before, after descending over the last three years. Despite this
decrease, Murcia’s international tourism is
still highly dependent on the British market,
and registers a quota of 24%, much higher
than the total Spanish quota.
The number of overnight stays registered
for British tourists in the region of Murcia
in 2011 totalled 6.916.405, with an average stay of almost 12 days, higher than the
Spanish average.
The main activities which attract British
tourists here are the sun and sand, nature, outings, shopping, nightlife and cultural
events. For the majority (62%) price was
also a decisive factor.
The Ministry of Tourism highlighted the
high loyalty levels shown by British tourists,
with a high percentage of tourists (68.6%)
visiting the region for the second time.
The weather, the scenery, leisure options,
culture and gastronomy have always been
Murcia’s main attractions as a tourism destination. Now the region is promoting additional services to attract British tourists;
such as water sports, nature, golf and wine
and gastronomy.

Andalusia surprises visitors with
its fresh and varied offering
in Jaén; Baena, Cabra, Lucena, Priego de
Córdoba and Puente Genil in Córdoba; Carmona and Osuna in Sevilla.
‘Living Costa del Sol’ presents a new opportunity for finding the perfect second home.
Culture, tradition, health and beauty, residential or sports
tourism such as golf, these are just some of the highlights
included within Andalusia’s quality tourism offering; this
year the region adds surprising new details and gracefully
opens its doors to welcome visitors once again.
A
ndalusia continues to attract a great
deal of British tourists, and the figures clearly show that the number of
visitors arriving in the region from the United Kingdom grows every year. 1.68 million
British tourists visited the region in 2011,
11% more than in 2010, representing
19.7% of the total foreign tourism received
by Andalusia and 7.7% of the general total.
The British market clearly favoured the
region for yet another year and registered
the highest levels of growth. Surprisingly,
the length of stay increased again in 2011,
and according to figures for the first semester, British arrivals in Andalusia grew
by 6%. Most importantly, these tourists
continue to show great customer satisfaction and gave the destination an average
7.8 points when asked for their opinion;
a rating which has also continued to grow
over the years.
In order to generate even further customer satisfaction, the Junta de Andalucia
has decided to launch a new Office for
Tourist Protection and Defense in 2013;
a department whose sole objective will be
to inform and protect visitors in view of
62
their rights when using tourism services
and facilities.
Beautiful beaches and moving
culture
The region’s most well known attractions are its beaches, an asset which Andalusians continue to improve every year.
Andalusia is the Spanish region with the
highest number of beaches certified with
the Q for Quality flag awarded by the Spanish Quality Tourism Institute (ICTE) in 2012,
with 58 of the 173 Andalusian beaches
currently flying the blue flags.
Either combined with the beaches or as
a main motive, culture has become the
region’s second most popular attraction.
There are a great variety of cultural products on offer here but recent highlights
include the Caminos de Pasión, a cultural
tourist route which uncovers the historical
and artistic heritage, gastronomy, traditions, Easter celebrations, folklore and
craftsmanship of central Andalusia. The
initiative features eight municipalities which
are characteristic for the wealth of their history and heritage, they are: Alcalá la Real
Golf, health, beauty, dolphins…
The excellent Andalusian weather is ideal
for all types of outdoor sports with golf being
the one which attracts the highest number
of British tourists. The good news is that
this year the region’s offering is about to
be extended. The Andalusian authorities
have just approved a second ‘touristic interest’ project, Castellar Golf, in Castellar
de la Frontera (Cádiz), which will feature
an 18 hole golf course, a 5 star hotel with
150 rooms, an apartment hotel with 100
units and a residential area featuring family
housing as well as event halls and various
sports facilities and health and beauty establishments.
Health and beauty is, incidentally, one of
the region’s strongest offerings. Establishments and services of this type are widespread at Andalusian destinations; 90% of
five star establishments feature health and
beauty services, 50% at four star and 20%
at three star hotels and resorts. The excellent
options at hotels are further complemented
by the thermal baths available in the region.
One of the region’s most original attractions is the chance to see dolphins and
whales in their natural habitats. These
breathtaking creatures can be spotted from
boats on the Straits of Gibraltar and are
joined every summer by killer whales.
Living Costa del Sol, a secure
investment
Malaga’s public administration in collaboration with some local business entities has
created a new tourism product called ‘Living Costa del Sol’, with the clear objective
of promoting the province’s image as a safe
destination in which to own a second home.
The idea is to spread awareness about
the wonderful residential developments the
Costa de Sol has to offer people who would
like to own a home in Spain.
Andalusia will present all of these products at the WTM as well as at other events
throughout the year including specialised
fairs and reverse promotion activities.
Ángeles Vargas
Elías Bendodo (President of the Málaga-Costa del Sol Tourist Board)
‘Costa del Sol, driving force of Andalusian PR
economy and tourism, is to lead economic
recovery in the region’
M
álaga-Costa del Sol is the most
important travel destination in Andalusia, welcoming more than 9
million tourists a year (2011 data, INE and
Tourism Observatory by SOPDE). In fact, it
is among the three most popular holiday
destinations in Spain for both domestic and
international tourists.
This has been so for five decades.
You might then wonder, ‘What’s the challenge for the Costa del Sol now?’ Our challenge is continuous innovation in the face
of change – a pro-active ongoing process
aimed at transforming the threats of maturity
into opportunities for talent and experience.
The changes in infrastructure and product
conversion over the past five years were key
to the sustainable growth of the Costa del
Sol, reactivating tourist activity in the face of
an unprecedented crisis.
The big-scale project of the Port of Málaga
(Pier 1) and its fabulous Maritime Station
have placed Málaga among the few Spain
home ports to have grown this year (about
14% through August 2012) and earned the
city the fifth place at the national level in
terms of the number of cruise passengers
(arrivals and departures).
Likewise, the amazing airport expansion
project (Plan Málaga) has placed the arrivals area of Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport in
the avant-garde of Europe while doubling
its capacity to welcome passengers. Currently, we have the fourth largest airport in
Spain in terms of number of passengers (13
million last year, 6.3% more than in 2010,
when the new terminal came into operation).
Most passengers (71% in 2011) came from
abroad, mainly UK and Germany. With the
new runway in June 2012, leading to increased air traffic (up to 30 million passengers a year), the airport’s performance is expected to be even more impressive this year.
To these two outstanding gateways to
the Costa del Sol we should add the wellestablished María Zambrano AVE highspeed train station, which revolutionised
rail transport in 2007, superseding domestic flights and leading to a 60% rise in train
arrivals thanks to the railway connections
available for all major cities in central and
northern Spain. Fast, comfortable, versatile and running on time, high-speed trains
brought larger numbers of domestic tourists to the Costa del Sol – holidaymakers,
city breakers, event attendees, business
travellers and even golf players. For there is
much more than sun and sand to the Costa
del Sol: there are golf courses, restaurants,
amusement parks, country hotels and conference or meeting venues, too.
The development of infrastructure was accompanied by the conversion of products and
services in the public and private sectors.
Product and service quality – better, outstanding quality – is the key to tourist satisfaction on the Costa del Sol.
Quality is the result of training, knowledge,
talent and skill. And it is the force underlying
the intangible assets of travel destinations.
In Málaga, such assets – hospitality, kindness, politeness, warmth and willingness to
help – are wired into the people’s DNA. They
do not need to be learnt. These values are
difficult to imitate when they are displayed
‘Málaga style’.
There is a wide range of accommodation options available in Málaga Province,
from campsite to five-star hotels, offering
6,328 beds. In fact, establishments amount
to 2,403 (including 916 country hotels or
homes), with 165,652 tourist beds available.
The number of beds available rose by
10.7% (15,809) in the past five years. 28.7%
of the total belong to four- and five-star hotels.
In this ever-changing situation, this transformation from the weaknesses of maturity
to the strengths of experience, we are once
again introducing a renovated destination
in the international scene, based on the
knowledge gained from the experiences of
the millions of tourists who have visited us in
more than 60 years. Once again, our travel
destination has been modernised from its
foundations to operate at the level of excellence and retain the leadership it has held for
so many years.
The new rules in the travel industry invite
us not to live in the past. Experiences are
planned and lived in the present. Thus, the
Costa del Sol’s success in the new world
of international tourism will depend on the
identification of our products and services
with a place where ‘the best experiences are
possible.’ This will give us the competitive
advantage we need, and advantage we must
keep with the help of innovation and profit
efficiency. It is the only recipe for a successful destination in today’s world.

CAT
Catalonia focuses its promotional efforts at
the WTM on the online world and social media
The British market, its second highest issuing market, has grown by 30% and represents
11% of its international arrivals
Catalonia focuses its presence at the
World Travel Market on online promotion
and social media, the platform chosen to
present the pioneering initiative launched
by the ACT (Catalan Tourism Agency): ‘a
journey with instagramers.’
T
he ACT takes part in this new edition of the World Travel Market with a stand covering 336 metres which showcases the
services of 40 exhibitors including boards, tourism offices and
companies within the sector.
Within the framework of the fair, ACT’s promotional director
presents Catalonia’s online marketing strategy, using a pioneering
initiative within tourism promotion as an example: a journey with
instagramers. The presentation is part of a session organised by the
WTM about the most innovative projects in this field, and Catalonia
will be presenting alongside destinations such as Japan, Emilia Romagna, Scotland, England and Las Vegas.
Catalonia became the first Spanish tourist destination to use Instagram as a promotional channel; a platform which has over 80
million users. The Catalan Tourism Agency, in collaboration with ‘instagramers Cataluña’, invited 11 of this social network’s most influential users, from the rest of Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Norway,
The Netherlands and The United States, to visit the region and take
photos which were then published on Instagram and other social
networks as well as on their own blogs.
The instagramers participating were some of the most influential
both nationally and internationally and between them had a total of
500.000 followers. People were able to follow their journey through
the region via Instagram, via Twitter using the hash tag #catalunyaexperience, via the Catalunya Experience Facebook page and on
Catalonia’s Instagram webpage.
The next step was to invite all Instagram users to take part in a
photography competition based on Catalonia. To take part all users
had to do was publish a photograph with the hash tag #catalunyaexperience; and this resulted in some 52.000 images which can be
viewed on the Catalan Tourism Agency’s Statigram platform.
A panel of judges selected the best photographs based on their
originality, quality and above all how they represented a different
and personal view of the region. The 241 photos selected are now
part of an exhibition called ‘Catalonia, as seen by instagramers’,
structured with eight main themes; Catalonia, land of contrasts;
Catalonia, land of creativity; Catalonia, by the Mediterranean Sea;
Catalonia, interior and Pyrenees; Catalonia, land of history; Catalonia, land of gastronomy; and Catalonia, land of traditions.
The exhibition can be viewed in the Palau Robert gardens in Barcelona until the 18th November and is this promotion’s closing ac-

tivity. It is one of the first initiatives launched in Spain to successfully
integrate online and offline in a single project.
This move towards applying new technologies to promotional
strategy for its destinations is now combined with the region’s traditional promotion of its gastronomy. The ACT thus widens its traditional meeting with professionals from the British and Catalan tourist
sectors. This year the gastronomy exhibition is presented by chefs
from the Cuina Barceloneta and Noguera Cuina kitchen collectives.
Not only does it offer the possibility to taste Catalan specialties, but
it also is a great opportunity for professionals to network.
Improvements in the British market
By taking part in the WTM Catalonia aims to continue improving
its results within the British market, which have been very positive
so far this year, especially when considering the current financial
situation. The United Kingdom is currently the region’s second most
important issuing market and accounts for 11.2% of foreign tourism
arriving in the area.
1.2 million British tourists have visited Catalonia during the first
eight months of the year, 30.5% more than during the same period
a year before. There has also been a similar growth in the income
generated which this year was 816 million Euros, 30.2% higher
than the previous year.

The Community of Madrid, leisure and
business destination for British tourists
MAD
The capital city chooses to open up some of its unexplored areas
Madrid’s culture, shopping and gastronomy attract British tourists
The community of Madrid boasts a wide variety
of cultural options which attract British tourists
searching for leisure activities. But its event and
meeting facilities and services also make it an
ideal option for business travellers.
B
ritish tourists are attracted to Madrid by a wide variety of products.
The Ministry for Employment,
Tourism and Culture states that 43% of
these tourists come to enjoy leisure and
a holiday, while 42.5% visit the region for
work or business trips.
According to the National Statistics
Institute’s Questionnaire on Hotel Occupation, 330.228 British tourists stayed at
hotels in the Community of Madrid during
2011, which makes them the fourth most
prominent issuing market, after the United
States, Italy and France. This, according
to sources within the Ministry “gives us a
very clear idea of how important this market is for Madrid. If we consider the data
published by Frontur, the British market
comes up as the third most prominent
issuing market, after France and Italy. In
both cases the market shows very positive results, with growth rates of 7.5% and
11.7% respectively.”
The data offered by the above sources
allows us to conclude that British tourists
66
stayed for an average of 5.3 nights during
2011. Their total expenditure amounted to
305.5 million Euros, 24.3% more than in
2010. As for the average amount spent
by British tourists, this comes to 729,72
Euros (which represents an 11.05%
growth) with an average spent per day of
136.14 Euros (13.2% growth).
However, these numbers are falling
slightly during 2012, with a decrease of
up to 5% registered last August. The Ministry claims to be monitoring these variations very closely especially any which
occur over the last three months of the
year and is working to alter this trend
and to achieve better results by the end
of the year.
The promotional strategies carried out
by the community include a significant
development in internet tools used. Madrid Town Hall is also helping to organise
familiarisation trips for specialised agents
to visit the area.
But it is everything that it has to offer
culturally, commercially and gastronomi-
cally which attracts many of the tourists
visiting the community. The quality of its
exhibitions is one of its strongest points.
For examples some future exhibitions
include Van Dyck at the Prado Museum;
Gauguin, Cartier art, open-air painting
by Turner, Constable, Van Gogh and Cèzanne at the Thyssen-Bornemisza or the
Casa de Alba heritage at the Palacio de
Cibeles. “These options are added to the
many attractions offered by the region and
make a visit to the Community of Madrid
even more attractive.” One cannot forget
the Reina Sofía Museum – which, together
with the Thyssen and the Prado, makes up
the Paseo del Arte (Art Walk) or the Santiago Bernabéu Museum, the fourth most
visited museum in the city. These four
museums are included in one of the three
new programs presented by the Strategic
Tourism Plan for Madrid 2012-2015, ‘El
Madrid + Real’ (which adds value to this,
the most visited touristic circuit related to
historical and cultural heritage.) The other
two programs included in the plan are
‘Madrid gana de cerca’ (with new routes
such as Salamanca, Las Letras, La Latina or the new Madrid Río; and museums
such as the Sorolla or the Lázaro Galdiano
Foundation) and ‘Madrid plays off’ (with
more alternative and innovative aspects of
Madrid’s tourism offer including La Casa
Encendida, the Old Tabacco Factory, the
Slaughterhouse and alternative neighbourhoods such as Malasaña, Chueca,
TriBall, Conde Duque or Lavapiés).
As for the MICE and business travel
sector, it is worth pointing out that Madrid has been chosen as the venue for five
international conferences and 14 events,
which will take place between 2012 and
2014 and which will attract 16000 professionals to the capital, and it is likely that
more events will be confirmed soon.
Lastly, one cannot publish an article
about the Community of Madrid without
mentioning the Eurovegas project. The initiative is not without its fair share of controversy, but in general the region hopes it
will have a positive effect on tourism in the
area. Latest predictions say that construction work will begin in December 2013.
With its 590 facilities in which to practise the sport, and dozens of specialised hotels,
Spain is a favourite destination for this kind of tourism
The best golf destination in Europe
Spain is the preferred destination
for 40% of Europeans travelling
abroad to play golf and it is clear
why: its courses are amongst the
best on the continent, it boasts a
number of specialised hotels, ample
experience in this type of tourism
and a privileged climate.
M
arch, April, October and November are the high season
for golf tourism in most of the country and the weather
even allows for golf holidays from December to March in
places such as the Canary Islands.
Golf tourists are typically interested in taking part in other activities during their stay and Spain offers them a wide choice of
quality options. Travellers can choose their destination according
to their particular tastes so that they are able to combine their
time on the golf course with water sports, gastronomy, shopping,
hiking, cultural tourism or wellness.
More courses, better quality
Spain is home to a wide variety of golf facilities, as well as golf
courses for all levels of player. It even allows visitors a choice of

scenery when it comes to deciding on where to play; mountain
sceneries, sea views, vineyards or on the edge of a cliff, there is
no limit to the variety available.
According to recent research published by the Spanish Royal
Golf Federation, there are currently a total of 431 courses in operation, whereas the Market Study on Spain’s Golf Courses, published by Aguirre Newman consultants – which takes into account
all types of course including pitch & putt-, claims there are 590
active courses, 49.7% of which feature 18 holes.
Furthermore, despite the country’s current financial situation,
64 new courses have been opened in the past two years alone,
and the forecasts for new developments are optimistic. Another
factor to consider is that existing courses have continued to update their facilities with the introduction of advanced technology
for sewage disposal and water recycling systems used to water
the courses, as well as the installation of renewable energy systems and other resources to improve player experience.
Something for everyone
When considered by regions, Andalusia’s golf offering continues
to be the most extensive in Spain. The region boasts a total of 106
courses and also hopes to extend its attractions with numerous
projects which are currently in different stages of development.
Catalonia’s 37 courses host various international tournaments
a year. Valencia is home to 10% of the total national offering with
35 golf courses, several specialised hotels and residential areas
connected to these facilities.
Weather is a bonus in the Balearic Islands, where there are
26 golf courses and where the Son Saletes project in the Mallorcan town of Sencelles, has recently been declared a ‘regional
interest’ initiative. In the Canary Islands, visitors can play golf all
year round, as well as enjoy the mild climate, 25 golf courses and
several specialised hotels.
Apart from the traditional destinations mentioned above, there

are others such as Galicia, where there are 22 courses and where
visitors can enjoy the recently created “Galician Golf Routes”
which combine playing golf with visits to thermal baths and gourmet restaurants; or Navarra, where the “Navarra golf & gourmet”
product also combines the sport with the best cuisine. La Rioja is
also an ideal destination in which to enjoy gastronomy, wine tourism and golf; and in Cantabria, birthplace of the legendary player
Severiano Ballesteros, there are 11 courses and a further 9 under
development.

Its main attributes include a wide variety of infrastructure,
excellent communication and experience
Spain consolidates itself as a
conference destination
conference and events destination is that
its infrastructure is constantly being added
to and rennovated. Recently inaugurated
specialised facilities in the sector include
the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos
Cabo de Gata-Ciudad in Almería, the Forum
Burgos Evolución, Palacio de Congresos y
Auditórium, the Palacio de Congresos “El
Greco” in Toledo, the Auditorio y Palacio
de Congresos El Batel de Cartagena, or the
Palacio de Congresos Mar de Vigo.
The Congress Palace in Jerez.
Spain is currently one of Europe’s main
conference, meeting, event and incentive
destinations thanks to the fact that it boasts
fifty specialised offices or convention bureaux
in different cities, over 60 conference
centres, new terminals at international
airports, the largest high-speed train network
on the continent and specific incentive
programs at each city.
A
ll of this is enhanced by its ample
experience and the variety of accommodation it has to offer, which
is also to a great extent equipped with the
necessary resources for hosting events,
as well as everything it has to offer in
terms of culture, nature and gastronomy;
all this makes Spain the ‘go-to’ destina-
76
tion for MICE event organisers.
Spain’s conference offering is represented at 55 offices with personnel and specialised technicians which are also grouped
together at the Spain Convention Bureau
(SCB) and which facilitate the work of anyone wanting to host an event in the country.
One of Spain’s main advantages as a
New unique venues are also being added
to the country’s selection such as the new
Pabellón Bosque de Acero in Cuenca, the
Palacio de los Córdova in Granada (which
dates back to 1592 and has been completely refurbished), the extension of the
Pontevedra Museum, the new Cultural
Centre in Tarragona “El Seminari” or the
Cúpula del Milenio in Valladolid.
Main destinations
With its wide variety of destinations, all
featuring first class facilities, Catalonia is
able to respond to all manner of requirements when it comes to organising conferences or any other kind of corporate
event. The region boasts a network of 9
destinations specialised in the organisation
of conferences, all with attractive offerings
and their own distinct characteristics, they
are; Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, Tarragona,
Portaventura (Costa Daurada), Sitges, Castelldefels, Lloret and Reus. Together these
destinations are able to cater to over 11.000
delegates at their convention centres and
offer over 60.000 rooms. Barcelona’s ac-
commodation facilities have been further
extended over the last few months with the
inauguration of nine new hotels which add
a further 1.300 rooms to the city’s offering.
The ACT (Catalan Tourism Agency) has
been able to unite all of its offering within
the Catalunya Convention Bureau (CCB), a
program to promote and support the venues commercially and which is supported
by 130 specialised companies.
Conference tourism is one of the Community of Madrid’s most significant economic
activities and the region is accustomed to
hosting large international events with thousands of participants. It is therefore not surprising that Madrid is currently the sixth city
in the world when it comes to hosting this
type of event. The capital city alone is home
to four large conference centres, as well as
several other convention facilities and an
award winning exhibition venue.
In Andalusia there are a total of 781
establishments which feature facilities for
meetings and conferences and which, according to estimates by the Tourism and
Commerce Ministry, can cater to a total
of 485.000 delegates. Highlights include
its 16 conference centres and over 140
unique buildings, and hotels account for
over 50% of the region’s total capacity. The
provinces of Malaga and Seville represent
half of the region’s offering in this sector.
The community of Valencia also has a lot
to offer this industry; with a wide selection
of event organisation agencies at city destinations such as Valencia, Alicante, Elche
and Castellón.
77
The various communities structure their offer by creating itineraries for visitors to get
to know and try their most typical specialties
The best of Spanish gastronomy, on route
Iberian ham, pintxos, cava and cider are just some of the star products
The Iberian Ham Route
is the latest addition
to the selection of
gastronomy routes
which are offered
throughout Spain in
order to introduce
visitors to its specialties.
These tours give visitors
the opportunity to try
the best of Spanish
cuisine on site.
T
he Product Club ‘Ruta del Jamón Ibérico’ (Iberian Ham Route), product of the
public/private collaboration between
the communities of Extremadura, Castilla y
León and Andalusia, includes over 400 municipalities, four Designations of Origin and
hundreds of companies such as restaurants,
accommodation, drying establishments, wineries and estates or dehesas where Iberian
pigs are reared.
This itinerary, supported by the State
Tourism Board, aims to promote the launch
of local products linked to agricultural production, to widen and diversify Spanish
tourism, add value to new resources and
contribute to the sustainable development of
rural areas.
All this is added to the objective of offering
tourists a wide ranging experience. With this
same objective in mind, other communities,
especially those which stand out for their
gastronomy, have added value to what they
have to offer by creating tourism routes.
The Basque Country presents nine routes
which introduce visitors to its most typical
produce, such as Idiazabal cheese, Guernica
peppers, Tolosa beans or Txakoli. Visitors
can also experience some of the region’s
oldest customs first-hand, such as an evening spent enjoying pintxos at bars in San
Sebastián, trying poteo in Bilbao or visiting
traditional cider bars in Guipúzcoa.
Catalonia offers 15 different gastronomic
routes which not only feature its most popular

The Iberian Ham route introduces visitors to the production process; from breeding the
Iberian pig to its commercialisation.
products, such as cava, cheeses, cold meats,
olive oil or xató, but also include unique experiences such as getting to know artesan food
trades, visiting museums related to gastronomy or browsing typical markets. There are
also routes for livestock, grocery, mountain,
forest or vegetable garden produce.
Another community which offers this kind
of route is Navarre, via the Navarra Adentro company. It offers two routes which take
visitors to an olive oil press, a conserve
factory, experimental farms, the truffle museum, an artesan cheese factory, a cereal
farm and the honey museum. One of the
routes includes a cookery course at a gastronomy society in Pamplona.
Asturias highlights its cheeses, cider and
wine via its five ‘Paradise Foods Routes’ (Rutas de los alimentos del Paraíso).
Products not included in
organised routes
Cantabria has published a promotional leaflet which features the six restaurants in the
region awarded a Michelin star and whose
cuisine can serve as motivation to visit the
cultural, natural and golf attractions in the
area, also included in the leaflet.
Galicia celebrates the sixth edition of its
‘Autumn of Gastronomy and Rural Tourism’
(Otoño gastronómico en turismo rural), with
the collaboration of over 130 establishments
offering exclusive menus and package deals
for one or two night’s accommodation.
The Community of Valencia has launched
a program called ‘Savour the Community of
Valencia’ (Saborea Comunitat Valenciana)
“an invitation to enjoy the best Valencian cuisine” via a network of over 100 restaurants
which are offering special set menus.
This year Logroño has made the most
of its term as the Spanish Capital of Gastronomy by organising events to promote its
cuisine and produce.
This is just a selection of the growing
number of routes and gastronomy products
available in Spain. It is not surprising that
gastronomy is the motivation for at least
10% of visits from international tourists to
the country, up to 30% in some regions.
Wine Routes
The Product Club for Wine Routes in Spain
merits a whole chapter of its own. Last year,
promoted by the ACEVIN (Spanish Association for Wine Cities) and the State Tourism
Office, it attracted 1.5 million visitors to its
596 participating wineries. There are currently a total of 21 itineraries, and the latest
additions include the Campo de Cariñena,
Rueda, Txacolí de Álava, Yecla and Ronda
routes. The most popular routes are the ones
that take visitors through Jerez, Penedés,
Rioja and Ribera del Duero.

The Eastern region of Cuba
C
CUBA
The Eastern region
of Cuba is made up
of five provinces
- Las Tunas,
Holguín, Granma,
Santiago de Cuba
and Guantánamo–
they have common
characteristics when
it comes to their
tourism offer but
they also each have
certain features and
attributes which make
them different from
one another. Together
they make up a
diverse offering which
includes: culture,
city, beach, water
sports, conferences
and nature tourism
options.
80
T
he most popular destinations in
Eastern Cuba are Guardalavaca,
Baconao, Baracoa and the cities of
Holguín and Santiago de Cuba, although
new diverse destinations are also gaining
further popularity.
The region is eminently mountainous
with the Sierra Maestra as one of its natural highlights – one of the highest mountain ranges in the country which extends
through the provinces of Santiago de Cuba,
Granma and Guantánamo– as well as the
Alejandro de Humboldt National Park which
stretches across Holguín and Guantánamo.
During the first semester of 2012,
1.383.324 foreign tourists stayed at the
hotel establishments in the five Eastern
provinces, around 15% of the total overnight stays registered in Cuba.
All the Eastern provinces saw a decrease
in the number of overnight stays when
compared to the first semester in 2011,
except for Las Tunas, which was the province with the highest increase in overnight
stays in Cuba compared to the same period
a year before, and which registered an increase of 51.9%.
The province of Holguín, which registered 79% of tourist overnight stays in the
Eastern region, remains one of the most
popular destinations in Cuba, despite seeing a decrease in its number of overnight
stays; it registered over a million overnight
stays, 1.096.258, the fourth highest in
terms of the island’s provinces.
On analysing the participation of Eastern
destinations in the country’s income, from
January to June 2012, we can see that
Holguín contributed 9.3% of arrivals classified with trading companies, 12% of the
income for beach tourism and 88.4% of the
income for Health tourism.
As for the territorial representation in
terms of sales for package holidays at
Eastern resorts, only Holguín showed
any significant value, positioning itself
amongst the most profitable areas in Cuba
and capturing 9% of the country’s global
performance.
A tourism climate
index for Cuba
C
CUBA
One of the Caribbean’s
most fundamental
attractions for
tourists the world
over is its tropical
climate. It is the main
natural resource for
the development of
tourism in the area.
D
ue to the key role climate plays in
the choice of tourism destinations
and in overall tourist satisfaction
and wellbeing, a lot of research has been
conducted on the subject over the last decades. Most of this research has resulted in
the creation of bioclimatic indexes, which
take into account parameters such as air
temperature, wind speed, relative humidity
and human energy balances. They combine
climatic comfort with recreational activities
in order to be as truthful as possible to
the sensation of wellbeing perceived by
the human body within different climates.
With this in mind, the creation of a tourism
climate index for Cuba’s climate conditions
as a tourism destination was proposed, to
be based on tourist wellbeing, and is described below.
The data used included the monthly
82
variables for maximum temperature, relative humidity, rainfall and wind speed, data
obtained from the Cuban Meteorological
Institute (INSMET) and monthly tourist arrivals to the destination from 1985 to 2010,
obtained from the National Office of Statistics (ONE).
The data considered showed that the
months during which the highest number
of visitors arrive on the island coincide with
temperatures of 25-30°C, and relative humidity of 65-75% with wind speeds ranging
from 5 to 6 m/s and hardly any rainfall; this
gives us an idea of tourist preference when

Conclusions
• The creation of a new tourism climate index
specially designed for Cuba’s specific conditions
allows for an improved valuation, at a national level,
of the alleged climate conditions needed for tourism
activities on the island.
• Unlike previous indexes, the relative results of
climate variables in the new index are derived
from modelling, and not from the subjectivity of
researchers, which provides for a more formal and
rigorous approach to the matter.
• Finally, the index’s statistical properties allow for
wider use, and can be used in the simulation and
prediction of future scenarios, including climate
change, within conditions which are easily controlled
by researchers.
knowledge retrieval based on the functions of biological
neural systems, capable of very accurate forecasting.
ANN modelling was used to obtain the new Climate Index,
based on the relationship between tourist arrivals and climate conditions, as set out in the following equation:
MHCi = 0.42 (TMaxi) + 0.09 (HRvai) + 0.11 (Precpi)
+ 0.38 (VVientoi)
MHC (Historical Climate Mean for tourism, in Spanish)
is the new climate index, TMax is maximum temperature,
HRva is relative humidity, Precp is rainfall and VViento is
wind speed, while the i represents the time period, the
months of the year in this case. This new index has used
historical values of between 18 and 40 units.
At the same time, the statistical nature of the new index
was determined. This is a very important result, as not
only does it allow us to establish index values from the
data, but it also makes it possible to calculate the probabilities of occurrence for any given value of the index or
a range between values. For example, if we would like to
know what the probability of the index reaching values of
over 39 is, (very bad conditions for the development of
tourism activities in the destination); the index probability
distribution will show that this is not very likely (values below 1%). Likewise, excellent conditions for tourism activities (MHC values of between 14 and 19) have a probability
of over 10% for Cuba as a tourism destination. Table 1
shows the classification ranges for the MHC index values.
Finally, and as an example, Figure 1 shows the graph
of mean values for both MHC and tourist arrivals in the
years between 1994 and 2010. Notice the close (inverted)
relationship between the values.

Reasons to choose
Santiago de Cuba
C
CUBA
they are great musical connoisseurs and
can boast of a number of excellent well
known musicians and composers. The son,
the guaracha and the bolero are now enjoyed the world over, a Creole legacy which
contributes to universal harmony. Whatever
their skin colour, no Santiaguero can resist dancing to the sound of drums or the
trompeta china. Rhythm courses through
their veins and is even recognizable in the
way they talk and gesticulate.
Honest and frank, the people of Santiago
de Cuba open their homes to guests in the
typical Caribbean way; but they are also
fiercely rebellious by tradition, especially
when it comes to defending their idiosyncrasy.
1. For the hospitality, kindness and idiosyncrasy of its
residents (the santiagueros).
2. For its rich history and culture. The city boasts a
mixture of Caribbean culture.
3. For its deeply rooted musical traditions: Birthplace of
Trova, Bolero and Son.
4. For the diversity of its offering (city, culture, history,
nature, sun and sand, water sports).
5. For its security.
6. For its warm summer weather almost all year round.
7. To visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Charity, Patron
Saint of Cuba.
8. For its proximity to other Caribbean destinations.
1.
Santiagueros are well known for
their kindness, hospitality and
friendliness; they represent the
most cultural aspect of Cuban identity and
their roots are planted in the depths of rural mountain life. They are also generous,
communicative and very open which is only
to be expected in a warm climate which
boasts such an explosive scenery.
The inhabitants of this indomitable land are
legitimately proud of their intense past and
the significant part they had to play in national history. Their passion for civilization
has meant that they have always strived
to uphold popular causes. The person who
84
best embodies these beliefs is Antonio Maceo y Grajales.
Santigueros are cheerful, they love rum,
and they enjoy their Carnivals to the full;
2
. Founded on the 25th of July
1515, amongst the first seven
towns on the island, this city
boasts recognition as the only city declared
a Hero of the Cuban Republic. Now 497
years old, Santiago is a mixed metropolis
and a mirror image of its residents; a true
combination of African and Spanish roots.
Elements from different cultures united and
came together in Santiago in a way in which
they have failed to do anywhere else on the
island and these were incorporated into
its identity: Spaniards, Africans, French,
Haitians, Chinese, Antillean, all these influences have rightfully given the city status
as the “most Caribbean” in Cuba. The extraordinary and the traditional coexist in this
corner more than in any other place on the
island. This is where America’s first romantic poet was born, José María Heredia, as
well as many of the greats in the world of
Cuban music; it is home to one of the country’s richest coral traditions and well known
groups such as the Orfeón Santiago and
Madrigalista choir are based here.
3.
Santiago de Cuba is the birthplace
of the Trova, the Bolero and the
Cuban Son. These musical styles
are fundamental parts of local and national
culture; Pepe Sánchez, the composer of
the first bolero, Miguel Matamoros, Sindo
Garay, Ñico Saquito, Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo and Eliades Ochoa, are just
some of the illustrious musicians born here,
where music is an integral part of life.
4.
The city’s tourism product is diverse as the area’s qualities allow
for the enjoyment of various different types of tourism. It boasts a wealth of
museums, art galleries and historical sites
such as the Historical Centre, the Cuartel
Moncada, the tomb of national hero José

Pedro de la Roca and its defensive system,
the Archaeological Scenery provided by

holds the record for being the stone located
at the highest altitude in the world, 1.234
metres above sea level.
Apart from the historical values mentioned
above, Santiago de Cuba has a lot to offer
tourists in terms of its historical heritage.

STAR CLIPPERS CRUISE
LINE INCLUDES CUBA IN
ITS ITINERARY.
Cuba will for the first time
be included in itineraries
by luxury cruise liner company “Star Clippers” based
in Monaco, as a destination in its cruises for 2014.
The company owner, Mikael
Kraft, made it clear in London that Cuba’s cays and
archipelagos were “ideal”
for the clients travelling on
their cruises, as published
by Cuba’s official tourism
information website (www.
cubatravel.cu).
According to the forecasts,
cruises belonging to the
company’s “Star Flyer” fleet
will arrive at the port of Cienfuegos during February and
March 2014, and then they
94
will conduct return voyages
from there to Cuban cays
and archipelagos and other

as Jamaica or the Dominican
Republic. Other vessels will
finish their Caribbean voyages in the bay of Casilda,
in Trinidad, having departed
from Costa Rica.
“Star Clippers” is a prestigious naval company which
operates cruises on large
sailing ships. The boats combine tradition and modernity and are equipped with
powerful computers to hoist
the sails while engines help
set the course.
TRINIDAD CONSOLIDATES
ITSELF AS A TOURISM
DESTINATION IN CUBA
The tourism destinations
Trinidad and Sancti Spíritus,
in the centre of Cuba, are
gradually establishing themselves as two of the most
popular destinations for travellers from Canada, France,
Germany, Italy and the United
Kingdom. The facilities offered by these two towns, the
first a World Heritage Site
and the second a National
Monument, have attracted
over 120.000 visitors so far
this year.
According to Reiner Rendón, the Tourism Ministry’s
delegate in the region, this
number represents an 8%
increase in comparison to
the same period a year before. The director highlighted
the benefits offered by the
Santi Spiritus province, an
area which combines sun
and sand with nature, history
and culture.
An effort to further extend the
area’s facilities has recently
resulted in the construction
of the Hotel Pansea, the second five star hotel to open in
the town of Trinidad. Located
in the heart of the La Popa
area, the establishment has
been developed with French
and Cuban capital and will
offer 52 different rooms.
By the end of August Cuba
had registered two million
visitors, 20 days before the
same number was reached
in 2011; which means there
was a 5.3% increase when
compared to the same period
a year before. For Cuba, the
largest of the Antilles islands,
tourism is one of the most
dynamic elements of its economy, and has the potential
to reach three million holidaymakers by the end of 2012.
HAVANATUR S.A. ANALYSES THE FUTURE OF
CONFERENCE AND EVENT
TOURISM IN CUBA
The Cuban tourism company
Havanatur has announced
that it recently held a meeting with the presidents of
organisational committees
for international conferences; fundamentally events
related to medical and educational meetings, to discuss
the future of the conference,
event and incentive trip industry in Cuba.
During the meeting, Regino Cruz, a specialist in this
type of travel from the Cuban
Ministry of Tourism, Mintur,
shared his enthusiasm and
optimism for the recovery
of this industry despite the
fall in business over recent
years. He also pointed out
the island’s potential for providing venues for international events and meetings and
the impact this type of visitor
can have on the country’s
general tourism.
Rodolfo Arencibia, representing the Palacio de las
Convenciones de La Habana,
exemplified how important
it is that previous levels of
business be recovered; 15
years ago Cuba was the fifth
most popular destination in
terms of conference venues.
Yamila Fuster, commercial
director of Hotel Nacional
de Cuba, spoke to delegates
using the hotel industry as an
example, about the facilities
her hotel has to offer; an establishment founded in 1930
and considered a flagship of
the island’s tourism. Fuster
detailed the hotel’s 426 rooms, an executive floor and
a variety of meeting rooms,
where the island’s most
important foreign and local
events are traditionally held,
regardless of whether these
are related to tourism, science, sports or politics.
Havantur is made up of a
group of tour operators and
travel agencies, all 100% Cuban. It boasts up to thirteen
agencies of its own throughout the globe as well as 80
representation agencies.
