The hotel Mogan Playa, from the be Cordial Hotels & Resorts firm, already had more than 91% of its places covered this Monday for this coming Friday, the 8th. In the case of Green Golf, another of the establishments of the chain managed by Nicolas Villalobos, occupancy exceeds 98%, and in several of Cordial’s vacation homes everything is already sold out for Friday. This in Gran Canariaalthough the fullness is also bordering on Tenerife.
Dreamplace Hotels & Resorts accommodations on the island of Teide –as well as those that the chain has in Lanzarote or in Gran Canaria itself – are above 90% for these days of the December long weekend, as progress is made Jordi Estalelladirector of Marketing and Sales of the island firm, which manages, for example, the five-star Gran Tacande.
Definitely, The hotels of the Archipelago are, in general, with occupancy close to full, which means they are in “the good part of the cycle,” explains the general director of be Cordial. But yes, without losing sight of the fact that, sooner or later, a bad cycle will come, or at least not so good. «This is about ups and downs, so we are in a good moment, yes, but only for now, because the next crisis will comewhether due to inflation, due to the recession in Germany and the United Kingdom or due to the repercussions of the European kerosene tax», Villalobos elaborates.
The objective of earning more with fewer travelers is beginning to be met: quality over quantity
For now, This “good part of the cycle” is also reflected in transportation. Binter announced this Monday that it has included 45 extraordinary flights in its programming for the bridgeThat is, between this Tuesday and next Monday, the 11th. The Canary Islands airline will manage a total of 1,399 operations in that period only on its inter-island routes. The connections that Binter reinforces in a special way in the face of the foreseeable increase in demand are those that unite The Palm and The iron with the two capital islands and the one that links Lanzarote with Tenerife.
Regarding maritime transport, the Armas Trasmediterránea Group also announced that from this Tuesday until Sunday, the 10th, will put a total of 150,000 seats on sale on the occasion of the Constitution Bridge. These 150,000 seats offered are distributed among all inter-island routes and the lines between Algeciras and Ceuta, Melilla-Málaga and Melilla-Almería.
It is assumed that the sector will invoice more than 18,000 million euros for the first time this year
In addition, the company promotes trips between The Gran Canarian palms and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, The Palms from Gran Canaria and Morro JableLos Cristianos and San Sebastián de La Gomera and Los Cristianos and Santa Cruz de La Palma.
The Constitution Bridge also arrives with prices on the rise. The Simon-Kucher consultancy published an analysis this Monday in which it concludes that Hotel rates will rise more than 20% during these days and next Christmas compared to last year’s prices. And this even though rates have already accumulated an increase of more than 35% since 2021, which shows that the desire to travel cushions any possible impact of the price increase on demand.
