The islands have benefited from the incipient recovery of national tourism but, above all, from the strong increase in the number of foreign visitors who, if maintained at the current pace, could reach 84.3 million visitors in the year, an 11,6% more than in 2016. This fact has encouraged the purchase of the rent, but also as a property of own use by many tourists.
