EUROPEAN WINTER SUN


During these


difficult economic times Tenerife is seen as great value for money. It's also the closest place to the UK for some guaranteed sunshine





Ian Hailes


head of product and commercial, Cosmos “Winter sun short-haul


sales are running 8% up compared to this time last year with signifi cant growth coming for our four- and fi ve- night holidays. "Mainland Spain and Portugal are the


most popular destinations for a short winter sun break, but the Canary Islands - particularly Tenerife and Lanzarote - are also showing growth. We have daily fl ights to many of these European winter sun destinations from four UK


Clockwise from top left: Winter sun is a big magnet; the Guayarmina Princess Hotel in Tenerife; Jaffa in Israel; a taste of adventure for those seeking more than just sunshine


airports, which means we can offer holidays from two to 42 nights.”


Jan Cole senior sales consultant, Spa Travel, Yorkshire


“The Canaries always sell well for winter sun but are doing even better this year, especially Tenerife and Lanzarote, which is possibly due to what’s been happening in North Africa. "The islands appeal mostly


to older people and to couples, but they also attract a number of families holidaying with younger children. We


do get a lot of repeat business. "It seems that once people have had a winter break, and appreciate the rejuvenating effect of some days away in the sunshine, they don’t


want to give it up. We’re located in an affl uent area so in general


our booking fi gures haven’t been


negatively affected by the fi nancial


crisis, but that said, clients, whatever the size of their


wallets are looking for value,


particularly free nights and upgrades. and the hotels are responding with offers and value adds." •
