During February, over 21,400 tourists will be landing in Tenerife, courtesy of the cruise ships MSC Fantasy and Costa Serena.  They are expected to bring a welcome boost in tourism for Santa Cruz, Tenerife's capital, as well as the entire Island in general.

According to figures published this week, the Canary Islands were the most popular location for Self Catering visitors, with a total of over 29 million nights spent between the Islands.

Fitur, the international Tourism fair in Madrid, gives awards to stands based on functionality and originality, as well as their overall look.

The Canary Islands placed 1st, for what was described as a spectacular stand, and is a repeat of their success at the World Travel Market, held in London, last year.
