The Spanish Costa del Sol is known as, perhaps, the most popular summer resort area in the country. And Costa del Sol is popular not only among the Spaniards, but also among many tourists, who are mainly visitors from Germany, Great Britain and Scandinavia. And it is in the Scandinavian countries, where in the past few days the area of Costa del Sol is actively promoted by Spanish tourist officials.
For example, recently the representatives of Costa del Sol at the meeting with tour operators of Scandinavian countries reported that the number of direct flights from Malaga Airport to Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo, Copenhagen and other major cities will increase to 100 flights.
To date, in Costa del Sol, there is a large increase in tourist flow from the North European countries. According to the portal finanzas.com, for the first three months of 2010, the number of tourists from Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway increased by 20% compared to the same period last year.
Patronage of Tourism of Costa del Sol, which is currently conducting a series of presentations in the Scandinavian countries, intends to continue its promotional activities. It is expected that representatives of the tourist administration of the coast will participate in the upcoming golf tournament Swedish Cup de Golf in Sweden. Spain in the tournament will be presented by representatives of 20 leading golf courses of Costa del Sol. Sweden will present representatives of leading tourist companies and a number of Swedish tourist journalists.
Today, in the Costa del Sol on a regular basis live more than 70 000 people from Scandinavia, of which about 30,000 are Swedes. In Spain, tourists from Scandinavia are particularly valued as they spend on holiday higher sums than average tourist.
