Spain’s Secretary of State for Tourism, Fernando Valdés, has just completed a whirlwind trip to the Costa del Sol, where he visited Marbella, Vélez-Malaga, the Sierra de las Nieves and Estepona to see at first-hand the projects which will benefit from the first allocation of the EU’s Next Generation funds. These four initiatives will be receiving over 16.8 million euros to improve the facilities for sustainable tourism.
In an interview with SUR, Valdés explained that major tour operators and airlines are now increasing their capacity again and he is convinced that 2022 will be the year of recovery and that the Costa del Sol will be one of the first areas to which British visitors return.
“There is a pent-up demand in the UK which is going to activate very quickly. We are already seeing how large operators like Jet2.com and airlines such as easyJet are increasing their operations with Spain, and we predict that the Costa del Sol will be one of the first destinations to benefit from this increase in British tourism. The new campaign which is being carried out in the UK by Turespaña will also help with that,” he explained.
