Destiny comes to 330 thousand foreign visitors.

The Cabildo of Gran Canaria published data these days of January http://www.grancanaria.com/patronato_turismo/Informes-y-Estadisticas.23429.0.html
They are very good data, following the trend that brought the target in terms of number of visitors.

He has won more than a 14% increase over last year, which was good.

The most important data is that we have a recovery in all markets, because last year we had a good thanks to the Scandinavian market in January, the rest of the market was down.

If we delve a little deeper into the data, we see that the evolution in the market in this series of 14 years has been uneven.

A January where the increase has been spectacular Scandinavian, slight increases in the German market and collapse of the British, which has not been possible to compensate for the new markets, which have remained constant over time.

The best news of this data, it seems that it may tend toward lower weight Scandinavian market (from 48% to 45%) and this is good because it should help reduce seasonality, which is a problem for the performance of the target , as we mentioned in a previous post (http://www.e7tourism.com/index.php/seasonality-in-gran-canaria/).

We were glad of this news and the implications that may have for the destination.
