In spite of the fall in UK visitors to the Costa del Sol
there has been a marked increase from Asian visitors.
The number of visits to the Costa del Sol has risen quicker than
anywhere else in Spain.
This is according to March’s figures which have just been
released by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.
More than 500,000 foreign tourists came to Andalucía last
month – up 14 per cent of all those who came to Spain. This is close to the
pre-crisis level recorded in February 2008.
The rise in foreign visitors to the region is up 12 per cent
compared to the national average rise of 5.8 per cent, even though the number
of British tourists has fallen. This has been compensated for by a rise in
visitor numbers from Asia, Germany, France and Scandinavia.
Figures from Turismo Costa del Sol show that three international
tourist markets have risen by 20 per cent or more - Belgium, Italy and Sweden.
Additionally Spain announced a record high with more than
3.4 million visitors last month.
