Spain 'usurping' the us

Flights to Spain are ahead of flights to the US in terms of attracting retirees, it has been reported...

Les Calvert, director of Property-Abroad.com, noted: “The US cannot compete with the European destination in terms of UK tourism, with Spanish holidays being a favourite among Britons. Spain is far more appealing to the British market.

"It's still obviously a long way from the favourites like Spain - it is in the top five while America's in the top ten. Managing director Lucy Ace added that this combined with the "child-friendly culture" Spain is a "winning formula".
