Four out of Five holiday makers prefer it!
If you have been wondering whether investing in a property for rental in the Canary Islands would be a wise investment, you need to pay close attention to where the majority of holiday makers are looking to book their holidays.
In the past, it was difficult if not impossible for the average person to be aware of demands for holidays in certain areas, but with so many people now using the internet to arrange their holidays its relatively simple to have accurate up to the minute data of what people are looking for.
Looking at this information, one thing is clear, holiday makers looking for a break in Spain are definitely opting for the Canaries so rental property owners and budding rental property owners take note!
Many people, who have not lived there, believe that mainland Spain has lovely warm weather throughout the year, but that really isn’t the case. Every part of mainland Spain experiences winter to some degree and many popular tourist areas actually have periods of weather that are not much different from the UK, with the weather patterns worsening the further inland you venture from the Mediterranean coast.
The only genuine all year-round sunshine within Spain is to be found in the Canary Islands, and holidaymakers are now very clearly aware of this fact as a recent report on on-line searches shows. During October this year, four out of the top five searches for holidays to Spain were looking for Canary Island breaks.
Gran Canaria was most popular, followed by Tenerife. The Costa Blanca was the only mainland Spain region to appear in the top five coming in at number three, but then Lanzarote and Fuerteventura completed the top five places.
These results should be of interest to anyone considering buying a rental property anywhere abroad. While mainland Spain is by far the most popular location for holidaymakers during the summer months and it’s possible to earn good rental income during peak season, if you’re looking for year-round rental income the Canary Islands are still the best option.
As well as the traditional holidaymakers spending just a week or two away, there is a growing market for retired people from the UK desperate to escape the British climate and high heating bills for two or three months over the winter.
Whilst fashions may change and new property markets may come and go, there are two certainties; ultimately people will always want to holiday somewhere with guaranteed good weather and the Canary Islands will always have the best weather record in Europe!
