Spanish hotels cheaper than many in Turkey

For the first time in five years, some hotels in parts of Spain are cheaper than similar accommodations in Turkey along with other rival destinations.

The director of the Spanish Tourist Office, Ignacio Vasallo, stated that together with the weaking of the euro and the strengthening of the Turkish lira, it has prompted a shift in pricing. That, along with 12% discounts in four star properties and 15% in three star properties, means that many Spanish hotels are now cheaper than in Turkey.

Vasallo also stated that Spanish hotels have reacted to a booking crisis, making many of them cheaper than those in Turkey for the first time in five years. He also added that the Spanish market this year was down by 6% on 2009, a year which also started badly.

However, this shows an improvement on January this year when sales were 22% behind the same period in 2009, thanks to an increase in the market for couples, which is Spain's strongest market.
