The British market continues to be a favourite amongst British holidaymakers, making up nearly a third of international tourists last year.
Figures from the Tenerife Tourism Corporation found more than 1.58 million British people headed to the Spanish island in 2013, up 0.8% on 2012.
More tourists are opting to stay in four and five-star hotels (44.9%), while Brits are also staying in Santa Cruz and La Laguna more often, up 30% compared to 2012.
Beach resorts still remain the most popular attraction although the corporation said more visitors are whale watching, hiking or going up Mount Teide.
Pia Louw, travel industry and promotion director said: “The UK is our most loyal market with a repeat visitor rate of 77%. We believe that the reasons for this fidelity, apart from our weather of course, include the huge variety they can find on the island – from UNESCO Heritage sites and hilltop villages to stunning volcanic landscapes and forests – and the continuous development of new tourism products and activities, such as stargazing.”
