Despite a small decline in visitors from 2009 - the Canary Islands are still proving popular with tourists, with Tenerife Holidays still the highest package by far.

Quarter 1 of 2010 estimated earnings for the Canary Islands are in the region of a whopping 3.21 billion Euros, with this number set to increase as the Summer continues.

This is in addition to the fact that weather experts are claiming that this Summer is shaping up to be the hottest summer in years.

We have a large selection of the finest Tenerife Hotels available - why not check some of them out?

From the 9th to the 15th of August, Tenerife is going to be home to the prestigious World Kiteboarding Championship.

With over 150 entrants from a total of 12 countries - the event is set to be a lot of fun.  It is being held in El Medano, and provides a great chance for locals to face off against the worlds greatest!

Kiteboarding is a curious mix of surfing and Kiting - it really has to be seen to be believed, and the Tenerife leg will be no exception, since El Medano provides near perfect conditions for the sport.

Tenerifes list of achievements continues to grow - with the worlds largest collection of parrots in the North at Loro Parque, and Europe's largest waterpark in the South with Siam Park, the Island now contains the worlds first ever Bioclimatic Holiday Village.

Confused as to exactly what a Bioclimatic Holiday Village actually is?  You're not alone.  It's a collection of 25 houses which will serve as temporary bases for tourists, as well as testing units for the duration of this experiment.

The houses themselves run purely on naturally available energy, harnessing the power of wind and sun to power everything within the home.  According to official statements, sensors will:

constantly feed back information on their temperature, humidity and air movement in order to determine which techniques are the most efficient

With a total of 15 years of development, and 13 million euros spent on actually implementing this village, it is a project that the whole world is watching with eager eyes on the outcome.

Tenerife has just launched a massive promotional campaign, aimed at residents in Belgium, France and Luxembourg, through Liberty TV.  liberty TV is one of the largest networks in Europe, and specialises in travel information.

Running from June through September, the promotional campaighn aims to increase traffic to the official Tenerife Tourism site, as well as promote Tenerife as a viable and fun holiday destination.
