Spain still one of the three most visited holiday destination in the world

La Pineda, April 15, 2008: Spain is still one of the most preferred tourist destination in the world. This fact was stressed by Ms. Pilar Oliver, CEO of Cielo (www.go-cielo.com) a leading travel portal for tourists who are interested in visiting Spain. She was speaking to journalists on the occasion of launching the upgraded website of the travel portal which includes many new additional features.

Based out of the United Kingdom, Cielo derives most of its revenues from British travelers to Spain. Ms. Oliver said that the number of British travelers to Spain is on the rise and as a result Cielo has increased the number of Spanish hotels on the portal. It was a logical step because travelers are looking for more options.

Ms. Oliver said that the most visited resorts in Spain are Benidorm, Barcelona, Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Mallorca and Tenerife. Therefore Cielo is focused on providing quality and affordable accommodation to visitors who are planning to visit these picturesque resorts.

Emphasizing on the increasing number of tourists who are visiting Spain, Ms. Oliver said that many low cost airlines have also started their services from different locations in Europe and America to Spain. The affordable cost of travel will further increase the inflow of tourists to this beautiful country in Europe. On being asked about the new Mediterranean travel destinations which were competing with Spain such as Croatia, Tunisia and Bulgaria, Ms. Oliver said that British travelers still preferred Spain over other places.

Ms. Oliver urged visitors planning a Spanish trip to check out the portal and find the hotel recommendations given by Cielo. She mentioned that visitors can book hotels through the site. The portal gives a wide range of suggestions on the popular sites to be visited in Spain. Visitors can check out the sites and chalk out a detailed holiday plan.

Ms. Oliver said that there are further plans to upgrade the portal and offer more services to the prospective traveler. The portal while being focused on Spain, also features travel and booking options in other countries in Europe, Americas and Asia. She mentioned that the online travel business has become very competitive but opportunities aways exist for professional companies like Cielo.

In a post lunch tete-a-tete with journalists she was seen discussing the global tourism scenario with journalists in view of the impending economic slowdown in the United States and possibly in other parts of the world. She closed of the discussions by advising people to book their travels judiciously and avoid falling trap to unscrupulous agents.
