Uplift in tourism benefits Marbella

Marc Pritchard, sales and marketing manager at Taylor Wimpey de Espana, said it is ’no surprise’ Marbellais popular not only as a holiday destination, but also as an option for those buying Spanish property.

Mr Pritchard added Brits are still one of the main target markets for the Costa del Sol as a whole and pointed out the region’s tourist board is hoping to see arrivals rise by 37 per cent this year, compared with 2011.
