Southern Spain to become more accessible to investors

Improved transport links, government investment and better employment prospects are all expected to help boost property investment in southern Spain.

The opening of Corvera Airport near Murcia is expected to triple visitors to the region and increase rental occupancy in the area by 25 per cent, Atlas International explained.

In addition, the estate agent revealed that the government in Spain has set aside €555,700 for improvement projects in the Alicante region.

This includes funds to finish the high speed rail link which connects it to Madrid.

James Dearsley, European sales director at Atlas International, states: "There are many reasons why I believe Murcia or more specifically the South Costa Blanca stands to gain in 2011.

"These include its national parks, beaches, Championship Golf Courses, Government investment in the area, the opening of Corvera airport, a Paramount Theme Park opening in Murcia and the increase on competitive flights to the area."
