The instability of competing destinations such as Tunisia, Turkey and Egypt, among others, because of their problems of insecurity caused by terrorism during the last three and four years allowed Spain in general, and the Costa Blanca in particular, to get a good pinch of the Client who fled those areas. This public, mainly British, bet on the Spanish market, which has been living income in recent seasons, which has been used to raise prices and gain lost profitability during the lead years of the crisis.

The report warns that «competing destinations at an international level such as Turkey raise their figures by 80%. Also, Egypt, which shows an increase in its package reservations by 30%, «again being considered as a benchmark in the sun and the beach». These countries are basing their recovery in a simple strategy: low prices. An all-inclusive week can be contracted for the month of June in Tunisia for about 500
