Spain's Balearics Braced for Bumper Summer

2014-04-16
PALMA DE MALLORCA, SPAIN, April 16, 2014 (Press-News.org) The Director of Palma Airport announced this month that there will be 34 million flight seats available to the Balearics this holiday season, 9% more than in 2013. Agent Balearics Sotheby's International Realty hopes improved accessibility will also boost the property market.

Daniel Chavarria Waschke, Managing Director of Balearics Sotheby's International Realty, with offices in Mallorca and Ibiza, explains, "The Balearics have the highest foreign resident population in the whole of Spain, 20.19% according to official figures for 2013, and the Islands are popular amongst a broad spectrum of nationalities from the British to the Germans, Italians to Americans. This nationality mix is what keeps our property market so resilient. Additional flight seats will be as popular amongst the Island's foreign residents and second home owners as they will be with tourists."

According to the Spanish Airport Authority (AENA), the UK is the biggest market for the Balearics, dominating in Ibiza and Menorca, and coming second only to the Germans in Mallorca. Brits are very loyal to the Islands with an annual increase in passenger numbers of 4.3% for Palma, 4.8% for Ibiza and 1.7% for Menorca. Of the 34 million seats available for summer 2014, 7.7 million are between the UK and the Balearics, up almost 10% on 2013. Ibiza is the Island to receive the greatest rise in demand.

Overall the Islands will connect to no less than 74 new destinations and all previous passenger records are expected to be broken. Palma Airport, the Islands' largest, connects to 160 airports in 28 countries with the UK, Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland its key markets. Vueling has upped its operations the most, by 22%, followed by easyJet at 14% and Air Europa at 9.2%. Somewhat surprisingly Air Berlin has downsized.

Daniel finishes, "The Balearics offer an upmarket travel experience accompanied by stunning scenery and guaranteed warm weather throughout the long summer. We have 26 golf courses, many of which are world-class, several five star hotels including examples from Jumeirah, Barcelo and St Regis, gorgeous beach clubs from Nikki Beach to Blue Marlin and superyachts available for charter across chic marinas such as Marina Botafoch in Ibiza and Philippe Starck-designed Port Adriano in Mallorca. Add Spain's new Golden Visa policy which offers residency to foreigners buying property with a minimum value of 500,000 euros and these tourists will surely become homeowners of the future."

UV Eye Protection Important for Seacoast Activities after LASIK & Cataract Surgery
2014-04-16
"This time of year many patients make the transition to outdoor activities-hiking, sailing, walking along the beach. This means they are going to be exposed to a good amount of UV from the sun. So many patients who have had LASIK or cataract surgery just don't think about eyeglasses, sunglasses or UV eye protection anymore," noted Dr. Leslie Doctor. "But we want to remind them that as they spend more time involved in outdoor activities-especially near the seacoast or water, they tend to underestimate their risk of sun and UV damage to their eyes. It's actually greater than ...
