UK, Belgium & Iceland choose Almeria
Great for families and sports.
THE tourism markets of Iceland, Poland, and Slovakia are doubling down on their support for Costa de Almeria as a top travel destination. Fernando Giménez, Almeria’s Vice President of Tourism, shared this exciting update after a series of meetings with tour operators, airlines, and travel platforms at FITUR, one of the world’s largest tourism fairs. This year, Hungary has also joined the list of countries connected to Almeria through charter flights. These flights are expected to bring in high-spending tourists, with most staying for seven to 10 nights. The region is especially attractive to travellers looking to escape crowded destinations and enjoy outdoor activities like golf, hiking, and cycling.
Giménez highlighted the steady growth of flights from the UK, Belgium, and Luxembourg, with new routes being added to meet demand. He stressed the importance of maintaining these connections while expanding charter flights from Iceland, Poland, and Slovakia, and strengthening the new link with Hungary. Collaborations with tourism offices in Munich, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo are also expected to boost promotional activities, like press trips and familiarisation tours, which directly increase bookings. Almeria’s focus on family and sports tourism is paying off. The area has something for everyone, and because it’s not too busy, it’s a great spot for families and its appeal to sports fans is growing.
Recent data from platforms like Expedia and Last Minute shows an 8 per cent increase in sales of sports tourism packages, with separate flight and accommodation bookings also rising. Belgian professionals have even shown interest in using Almeria as a
pre-season training spot for elite triathletes and athletes. With its stunning natural beauty, tailored tourism options, and growing international connections, Costa de Almeria is cementing its place as a must-visit destination for travellers across Europe and beyond.
