\nOpinion about the quality of the tourism getting to the island: \u2028 The tourist who comes here is usually young, looking for cheap accommodation but also a kind of accommodation that allows them to meet people and make friends. Many of them often come alone.
\nHow could the island improve so as to bind tourism?
\nPeople usually find what they are looking for, water sports, surf, piece and quiet. Fuerteventura is a quiet island which enjoys good conditions for sports. There are things that can be done to make it improve, but usually people find what the are looking for.
\nWhat turns this island into a privileged place to spend your holidays? \u2028A stable weather all the year through, the quality of water and wind conditions, great for water sports….
\nMain strong points of your hotel offer:\u2028Affordable prices and a quiet environment where you can meet other people. The feed back we have received from our customers has been really good as they end up getting on really well, making friends and having a whale of a time.
\nDo you offer your customers leisure activities outside of the hotel?\u2028Boards rental, bikes, surf courses at Protest SurfSchool, kite at Redshark, and we are also looking for other kind of trips for more quiet customers who prefer trekking or have different plans.
\nDo they usually request boat tours around Fuerteventura?\u2028Not to a great extent, but yes, they do. There are many experienced surfers who want to go to Lobos. There are also groups of friends who would like to visit the islet.
\nI know\u00a0 FuerteCharter because I have practised Kite with them at some time. It was really funny and I really felt at ease.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
