Britons 'still interested in Spanish holidays'

Britons are still looking to take holidays in places like Spain despite the low value of the pound against the euro, it has been stated.

Sterling's weakness in the recession has seen its value fall to little more than one euro, but ABTA - The Travel Association has stated that this will not prevent Britons seeking to spend time in sunny destinations, with warmer eurozone countries remaining favourite destinations.

Spokesman Sean Tipton said: "People are still going to be taking holidays in the eurozone because it is so dominant - countries like Spain and Greece have massive numbers of Brits visiting each year."

These comments could encourage those thinking of investing in tourist property in Spain, as there may still be a large holiday rental market.

It was recently suggested that Spain's tourism appeal could be increased by focusing on a wider array of its attractions.

Derek Moore, chairman at the Association of Independent Tour Operators, remarked that the country has "a lot of product to offer other than the beaches", mentioning the trekking available in Andalucia's hills as one under-exploited possibility.
