Murcia tourism defies the recession
While tourism in Spain as a whole suffered a 6.1% decrease this July compared to the previous July, the region of Murcia saw a 24.3% increase in visitors.A survey conducted by Frontur for the Department of Industry, Tourism and Commerce reveals that during the month of July the Region received 119,867 foreign tourists compared with 96,462 in 2008.
Certainly having just experienced July and August here in Murcia we can confirm that it was a busy holiday period. It certainly helps that Murcia has a good choice of low cost airlines arriving at Murcia airport, a great climate and a fabulous coastline. Just the right mix for the perfect overseas property location.....and with some great property offers available why not start your search now?
With thanks to The Costa Calida Reporter online newspaper for the Frontur data.
