Costa del Sol Promotes Tourism in London Amid Image Challenges
What happened
Costa del Sol promoted its tourism destination at the World Travel Market in London. The province of Malaga, part of Costa del Sol, is a strategic source market that contributes over 4.6 billion euros annually to the destination and accounts for nearly 30 percent of foreign arrivals in Malaga. The promotion aims to strengthen the destination's positioning in the UK by attracting British tourists outside the peak season.

Why it matters
The event underscores the importance of the Costa del Sol as a major source market for foreign tourism, which is currently confident of closing the year with 3.3 million visitors. This promotional effort is occurring while the Urda train crash is noted as having a major impact on Spain's international image.
