canary-islandsIf you like to escape just a few days from cold temperatures to spend Easter time in a nice beach of the Canaries, perhaps this is the right moment to book in ahead because, as statistics show, it is probable that, in case of waiting just a few weeks more, every single hotel in the Canaries will remain full of visitors.

Reasons why? The fact is that due to its natural beauty and entertainment offer, the Canaries are the third Spanish most visited destination by foreign tourists. This is why the archipelago has received during the first ten months of the current year a 13,7 more % of tourists, according to the same period of the previous one, and it is necessary to bear in mind that it was a difficult year for the tourism due to the financial crisis that spread everywhere in October, 2008.

6.6 millions tourists, out of 46.68 million who visited the country, visited the Canaries, the main ones arrived from the United Kingdom, with 12.1 million travellers. The German market scored in the second position with up to 8 million tourists and the third place was for France, with 7.14 million tourists. Meanwhile, tourists arriving from the Nordic Countries, and Italy as well, made a lot of visits: 2.838 million and 2.774 million tourists respectively.
