Lanzarote tourist figures

The amount of tourists visiting the Canary Island of Lanzarote in the month of September 2009 compared to 2008's figures are down over sixteen per cent. This is not very encouraging news for owners of property for holiday rental in Lanzarote.
Recent economic reports from the UK have all indicated a rise in the economy and a return of confidence in spending. It would seem that there may still be a little way to go until pre recession holiday habits return. Property prices in the UK are on the mend but the pound is still not performing very well against the euro. This factor alone means that Lanzarote tourists have much less spending power across the euro zone.
The British winter has only just begun. Feeling are that as winter in the UK starts to wear on then the idea of a Lanzarote holiday with guaranteed sun will start to become a lot more appealing.
The worst if probably over but there is bound to be a slow start whilst confidence levels return.
