Sotogrande prepared unique events

Sotogrande is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year with a series of activities that will highlight the transformation that has taken place in this ideal destination for golf holidays over the last 60 years.

This is a diamond anniversary, so there will be lots of fun things to do for locals and tourists.

The 60th anniversary celebrations go off on April 23, with a paddle surfing competition, which is guaranteed to be a hit with the younger crowd. There will be a series of races separated into several categories, then an awards presentation and a cocktail party.

And then, on May 1st, there will be a solidarity race at the Puerto Deportivo de Sotogrande. Participants will have the option of running either 5 or 10 km. All proceeds will be donated to two local charities, Coordinadora Alternativas and Por Una Sonrisa.

The Sotogrande way of life will be celebrated all spring and summer long with a full schedule of golf, polo, music, and cultural activities.

The final event of this special year is a golf tournament, on August 5th, at La Reserva Club golf course.

Sotogrande, in the Costa del Sol, is one of the most popular golf holiday destinations in Europe due to the world-class golf courses, like Valderrama and Real Sotogrande, often among the best courses in Europe.

It’s also important to mention that this area was officially declared the best golf destination in Spain recently.

El Rompido North. Golf tourism is growing in Huelva

Golf tourism is growing in Huelva

The golf sector in Huelva, in Costa de la Luz, reported a 48.88% rise in overnight stays and a 31.29% increase in foreign travellers in February compared to the same month in 2022, confirming its deseasonalizing role.

The Huelva Golf Course Association, a member of the Tourism Business Circle, has favourably judged these data, released by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which support the increase attached to promoting this sector, which is so essential for Huelva.

“A good scenario was in sight for this segment for this year as a result of the first contacts kept with international operators (European market)”, according to a statement. The scenario has been confirmed by the data obtained in the first months of 2023.

Initial expectations have been exceeded, according to January statistics showing a 72.96% increase in hotel accommodations and a 67.42% increase in foreign visitors.

From a financial standpoint, the industry is still having the same problems it did this time last year due to the “disproportionate” increase in production and operating costs that pretty much every activity is experiencing.

Thus, “we find ourselves with the only segment that actively and certainly complements the development of the tourist activity linked to the holiday segment, and is effective in terms of the fight against persistent seasonality that it suffers from”, the Association concluded after considering the available data.

Huelva is home to stunning golf courses like El Rompido North and South, often considered among the finest golf courses in the Costa de la Luz region.

Playa Burriana in Málaga. Favorable forecaster for the Spanish tourism sector this Easter

A busy Easter is expected in Spain

According to SiteMinder’s World Hotel Index, 60% of Spanish hotels’ April guests will be foreign. The platform predicts a high occupancy in the first long holiday period of the year: the Easter.

Tourists are spending more and returning to travel. Easter Week reservations help to predict one of the strongest summers in recent years with higher revenues, reservations, and occupancy due to international tourist rebound.

SiteMinder puts hotel bookings 20.9% above pre-pandemic levels, confirming the year’s auspicious start. To be more precise, Easter weekend bookings account for 14.2% of all bookings in Spain’s hotels.

According to current statistics, the top five nationalities choosing Spain as their holiday destination this year are the British, the French, the Germans, the Italians and the Dutch.

Despite inflation and rising prices, people still want to travel. Spanish hotels are currently 12% more costly than they were in 2019, and the average price per room has risen by 25% in the previous year. The percentage of cancellations has dropped by 11%, as well.

The reopening of China has accelerated the recovery of reserves in recent weeks, helping Spain and other countries across the world.

Reservation levels throughout the world (across 40 nations) have, on average, stayed just slightly above their levels before the pandemic.

Spain has regained its pre-pandemic status as a top tourist destination, surpassing other European nations like Portugal, Italy, France and Germany.

The Costa del Sol remains the top golf holiday choice for golfers visiting Spain. This is mainly due to incredible golf courses like Valderrama and Finca Cortesin, and the status this region has gained over the years.

The World Hotel Index numbers portray a positive picture for the summer as well, mostly because of rising optimism and the early planning with which tourists book their holidays in Spain.
