Gran Canaria to turn tourists away next winter season

The growing demand for bookings for the Canary Islands for the rest of this years winter season is causing a flurry of bookings for next years winter season, which has so far seen an increase of around 10%. The Nordic tour operators are unable to find available rooms in Gran Canaria for 2012/2013 winter season according to sources at this years FITUR trade fair in Madrid.

Employers acknowledged yesterday at the International Tourism Fair (Fitur) that Scandinavian tour operators that have been looking for rooms in the Canary Islands, specifically Gran Canaria, have been unable to make any bookings due to the strong growth in demand which has forced accommodation providers to reject offers, some at very good prices.
