TENERIFE WELCOMES AN INCREASE OF TOURISTS

Figures released by AENA the Spanish Airport Authority, show that for the first 6 months of 2011, there was a 25% increase in the number of tourists visiting Tenerife, compared to the same period in 2010. The boost in numbers was partly due to travelers re-booking holidays away from previous popular resorts in Tunisa and Egypt, due to civil unrest. 

There is no doubt that the popularity of Tenerife will continue, as the worldwide recession appears to be easing slightly, which all bodes well for people who own businesses in Tenerife and indeed for those who wish to invest on this wonderful Island.

Established Car Hire Business for Sale in Tenerife

Established since 1986, this company has truly stood the test of time and continues year after year to re-invest in the fleet of cars to service a client base of 2,475 customers. With only one of the fleet of cars more than 6 years old and 16 less than 3 years old, it is clear to see that the current owner and founder of the business is very conscious of supplying a quality service to the clients. The total number of vehicles is 29, and the business comes complete with 2 owned garages which are used for maintaining the vehicles. A fully operational web-site is responsible for a number of bookings, whilst the majority of business comes from returning clients. A majority of collections and returns for the cars are done at Tenerife South Airport. The vehicles alone are valued at 170,000 euros, whilst the premises are further valued at 80,000 euros.

It goes without saying that there is a tremendous amount of Goodwill built into the asking price, and it is little wonder when you witness the quality of the fleet of vehicles, the ongoing bookings that are already in the system and the success of this SL Company, which also comes complete with an Opening License.

We are privileged in being asked to market this Established Car Hire business. Full audited accounts will be made available once any serious party has viewed what is on offer. We believe they will not be disappointed.

Jamie Oliver in Adeje ???

Not quite, but his much acclaimed American Crusade to educate Schools, Governing Bodies and Families appears to be rubbing off here in Tenerife. Just recently 3 Primary schools in Adeje have agreed from next term to take part in this pioneering Scheme.

The Thao-Salud programme is a pioneering project in the islands and works through the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices by children from three to 12 years of age.  Children who follow the programme won’t just be working to keep their weight within acceptable limits, but also giving their developing bodies the tools they need to avoid diseases and illnesses associated with obesity.   They will learn about food groups, what is good to eat, the benefits of physical activity particularly as part of their time in school, and all with a touch of fun.  Kids will be encouraged to take more exercise and not just within sporting limits but also during play and games with their friends, as well as learning about the benefits of a healthier lifestyle within a social setting. There will also be regular assessments carried out within schools with children who are taking part in the programme having weight and measurements monitored.

Happy Shopping !!

Last Friday brought to the end a 6 month battle between shopkeepers and the Local Government over opening hour restrictions. The issue has been over declaring the City Center of Santa Cruz as a designated Tourist Area, which in effect makes the area exempt from restricted opening hours.

The number of visitors visiting the Capital on a daily basis have increased enormously over the last twelve months, especially with the growing number of Cruise Liners visiting the port for their daily stopovers. The new Mayor Jose Manuel Bermudez said the decision was a massive boost to Santa Cruz, and would inject new life into the Centre, especially on Sundays.

Excellent Bar for Sale in Tenerife

Situated in the heart of all the night life in Las Americas, this represents a fantastic opportunity for a young enthusiastic new owner. The area is the Party Capital of Las Americas, and this business over the years has become a popular stopping off point for many a Booze Cruise and late night drinkers. It is only yards away from the most famous bar on the island, which is testimony to its position.

Due to personal circumstances the bar is now closed, however with a little foresight and tlc this can once again trade successfully as it has before.Very rarely do business opportunities become available in this area for such a low price. We have negotiated with the landlord an excellent rent of only 1,250 euros a month plus taxes for any new owner, with a returnable deposit of only 2,500 euros.

For anybody who likes the Party Scene this is an opportunity not to be missed.
