Costa Blanca Tourism Surge Opens Doors for Property Investment

Costa Blanca tourist officials have been promoting the region at London’s World Travel Market, focusing on strengthening ties with the UK — its largest foreign visitor base — and exploring opportunities in emerging markets like China, the U.S., and Eastern Europe.

 Jose Mancebo, director of the Costa Blanca Tourist Board, noted that 35% of foreign tourism in Alicante province comes from the UK. In 2024, British visitors are staying longer (7.3 days on average) and spending more — up 14.1% from last year. Benidorm remains the top destination, attracting around 60% of British travellers.

 The Costa Blanca delegation also met with China Travel Online, the largest holiday portal in Asia, as well as tour operators from the U.S., Poland, and Italy, opening new doors for international tourism.

Investment Opportunities

For property investors, this growing influx of international visitors presents a promising opportunity. With rising demand for short-term rentals and vacation homes, especially in The Costa Blanca, the region is set to see strong rental yields.

The expansion into new markets also signals potential long-term property value growth. As Costa Blanca becomes an increasingly popular destination, both for tourists and investors, now could be an ideal time to invest in property, with strong returns and future growth expected.
