2008-04-29 02:00:00 Owners of rental accommodation in the Algarve could be set to see strong demand this summer, experts have suggested.According to Holidays-Direct, the Portuguese tourist hotspot has attracted considerable interest from British holidaymakers in the last few months.The online travel agency said that during the year to date, it has been the subject of the most searches on its website.This has prompted it to predict that lots of British holidaymakers will flock to the region for their summer holidays this year.As a result, owners of buy-to-let property in the Algarve should benefit from higher occupancy rates and rental returns.Jon Pearce, spokesperson for Holidays-Direct, commented: "With some of Europe's most attractive and cleanest beaches, exceptional landscapes and year round sunshine, the Algarve is quite rightly a holiday hotspot for British tourists looking for some sun."He added that the region is proving to be popular because it offers lots of leisure attractions at a "relativ...
Rental demand set to grow in Algarve
2008-04-23 02:00:00 Thousands of people are set to take advantage of new flights between Britain and the Algarve, an airline has stated. Earlier this week, budget carrier easyJet began operating its new service from Glasgow to the region's capital Faro. The airline has predicted that during the next 12 months, it will transport about 16,000 leisure travellers on this route. This means that rental accommodation across the Algarve is likely to be in much higher demand this year, a development which could prove highly lucrative for those who own property in the area. David Osborne, UK general manager at easyJet, commented: "This direct route to Faro has already proven a popular choice and will offer all Scots the opportunity to experience the glorious Algarve from their local airport." This comes after official figures revealed that the European country attracted 23 million holidaymakers during 2007 - an increase of five per cent on the previous year.
