As reported by the American Chronicle, family holidays in Spain are set to increase in 2007 compared to last year, despite increased competition from eastern European countries.
Flooding across Britain during the summer months led to "mass holiday bookings" of Spanish holidays with Majorca continuing to be popular despite environmental concerns based on aviation.
The news comes after a disappointing summer was expected for Spanish holiday figures after an unseasonably warm April in the UK contributing to a slowdown in the market, the article notes.

 Passengers should write their mobile number on or inside their suitcase in case their baggage is mislaid and keep receipts for its contents, says the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA).
A mere two per cent of the bags reported lost are actually lost, while the rest are delayed, said Sean Tipton, spokesperson for the ABTA.
Most bags "are simply delayed and while this is an inconvenience, they are not lost, they will turn up. Most airlines try to get them back to you within 48 hours," he said.

 Tiger Woods has won the US PGA championship, giving him his 13th professional major title and putting him only five behind the record of 18 majors, held by Jack Nicklaus.
The 89th PGA was the hottest major golf championship ever recorded, and at one point Woods had seen his lead reduced to just one stroke after a three-putt bogey on the 14th.
However, Woods has gone on to lose a tournament when he has led by more than one going into the last round, and the 14th was as close as the competition got.
"I did some serious yelling at myself going to the 15th tee," the champion said.
