The Rise and Rise of The
Canary Islands

to Travel Articles
Over recent decades the tourism
industry across the picturesque Canary Islands has exploded; the influx
of visitors from across the whole of Europe and often further afield has
been extraordinary, and what is even more remarkable is the number of returning
tourists, some which head to these sun-kissed shores year after year without
a thought for the numerous alternative holiday destinations. But what exactly
is it that lures the millions of visitors each year; is it the astonishingly
diverse landscapes throughout the islands? Or is it simply the year-round
great weather? Or perhaps the great value of a Canary Island Holiday. In
my opinion it is all of the above, but most importantly it is the infrastructure
and development of top class facilities that keeps us coming back, top
of which is the variety of accommodation available throughout the region.
Each of the 7 Canary Islands
has its unique qualities and attractions with the one constant being unbelievable
beauty, and each island/resort also attracts a certain clientele; whether
it be families, sports enthusiasts, hikers or party goers. For example,
Fuerteventura is famous for its water sports due to its breezy conditions,
Playa de las Americas is the party capital of Tenerife, and the smaller
island of La Gomera is primarily a destination for walkers or day visitors
from Tenerife.
Whatever the reason for your
visit to the Canary Islands one thing is for sure; you will not be short
of accommodation choices, whether you are on a budget, looking for family
orientated lodgings, boutique hotels or a taste of luxury there are plenty
of options, particularly across Gran
Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote and
Fuerteventura. Hotels in Tenerife
provide all of the modern amenities one would expect, often in spectacular
surroundings, such as the Barcelo
Santiago; beautifully located in the southern are of Los Gigantes,
the facilities are unrivalled in the area and could be the perfect spot
for your summer getaway. |

Fuerteventura is an island
less exposed to the thriving tourism trade than its bigger relatives but
nonetheless has so much to offer its visitors. As mentioned it is a water
sports paradise with golden beaches and ideal weather conditions, but it
also has holds on to a taste of Canarian culture; with quaint villages
and stunning landscape. Hotels in Fuerteventura have adapted well to the
idea of eco-friendly development, keeping levels to a minimum so as to
maintain the aesthetics of the island. Numbers of visitors are ever increasing
and as they do more and more accommodation is appearing; so once again
you will not struggle to find the perfect place to spend your holiday on
the jewel of the canaries.
