The Atlantic Ocean archipelago off the coast of Africa boasts year-round spring-like weather. Along with Britons, Germans are traditionally the largest tourist contingent. The largest island, Tenerife, received 4% more tourists in June than in the pre-pandemic 2019. But there were 22% fewer Germans, a clear sign of how the energy crisis and economic woes have weighed on travel decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, hotels in traditional hotspots for German tourists, such as the town of Puerto de la Cruz in northern Tenerife, are now filling up with &#8220;weather tourists&#8221;. &#8220;I used to visit Lake Constance in Germany every year, but I didn&#8217;t want to suffer another heatwave, so I came to Tenerife,&#8221; said 78-year-old Japanese retiree Shizuko Hotta, who was enjoying a three-week stay in a waterfront hotel by the mountains. This year, 18% fewer Germans went on summer holidays than in 2019, according to Germany&#8217;s tourism industry group DRV.<\/p>\n<p>According to Spanish official data, in the first half of 2023, 14% fewer Germans visited Tenerife than in 2019. Hotta said her German friends had recommended the island, but &#8220;they come less often because life has become too expensive&#8221;. In contrast, the number of visitors from the United States and Canada to Tenerife rose 80% and 60% respectively in the first half compared to 2019. There were also marked increases for a range of Asian and Eastern European countries.<\/p>\n<p>Pent-up demand after the pandemic is one of the reasons, as evidenced by a rise in overall tourism to Spain&#8217;s much hotter mainland, but weather is becoming a key factor. &#8220;Most people know these islands for escaping the European winter, but as we get more global warming, they will look at them as a place to escape the really hot summers,&#8221; said visiting U.S. businessman Diego Bejarano during a festival for working nomads. &#8220;While Europe is experiencing heatwaves, it&#8217;s a fact that it was wonderful to be here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hotel Tigaiga owner Enrique Talg, 53, cited a much more diverse mix of international tourists than in previous years in a shift from the pre-pandemic German contingent of about 80%. &#8220;It is a potpourri. More and more guests are looking for this hotel because of the climate,&#8221; he said. The average temperature on Tenerife&#8217;s beaches in August does not surpass 28C and is usually lower in the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/heatwave-escapees-spains-canaries-offset-german-tourism-slump-2023-08-07\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/heatwave-escapees-in-spains-canaries-offset-german-tourism-slump\/\">Heatwave escapees in Spain&#8217;s Canaries offset German tourism slump<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[10967,555,570,10968,10597,1102,1305],"class_list":["post-115936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-canaries","tag-csr-news-en","tag-german","tag-heathwave","tag-slump","tag-spain","tag-tourism"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115936\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
