This story is from today's copy of the Newspaper ... La Opinion.

Only 18% of the nearly five million tourists who spend their holidays in Tenerife chose to stay on all inclusive.

This percentage contrasts with the other 53% of travelers, who opted for half board arrangements or accommodation only. The rest of the visitors, meanwhile, chose a bed and breakfast, full board or simply flight only.

Travelers who choose all inclusive are investing in tourism in the island, with Excursions, Car Hire, shop and leisure activities reaching a high level of daily spending.

The trend to use this type of accommodation is higher among tourists coming to the islands from Italy, Belgium and Denmark. While those from Norway, Russia and Ireland are more inclined to use the other options.

Also, AI ​​is often easier to entice tourists who visit Tenerife for the first time and is less frequent among repeaters. In addition, the regime is widespread among young tourists, under 45 years and families.
