The results are better than everyone expected and tourism on the Costa Blanca has not fallen , although it is not as good as in 2007.

There seems to be some confusion in Benidorm when the mayor says that tourism has gone down by 5% and the regional tourism chief says that it has gone up by 4%.

The British are still the most prolific visitors with a 12 % rise in numbers . Alicante airport has seen a 7% increase over the same period last year .

Recently the Benidorm tourist board have done some promotional work in Holland and Belgium and this has also paid off with an increased number of visitors from these countries .
