Brits to the rescue as 2.5 million expected to visit the Costa Blanca in 2012

This could be the second consecutive year that the British tourism market will help pull the Costa Blanca out of economic hardship according to the tourism council in Valencia.

According to their findings, bookings made by Brits to the holiday hotspot for 2012 are already up on last year´s figures by around 13%. Indeed last year Brits holidaying on the Costa Blanca rose by 9.1% in spite of the economic crisis and in turn generating increased confidence in the market for 2012.

Data from the tourism observatory of the Valencia Region has estimated that 2012 will see around 2,500,000 Britons visit the Costa Blanca, with a large proportion heading to the Alicante province.
