Executive summary
Gibraltar increases its popularity as a leisure destination
Gibraltar maintains its popularity as a tax haven, which attracts a large number of business visitors. It also became increasingly popular as a leisure destination over the review period, as its tourism infrastructure expanded to appeal to a broader spectrum of tourists.
Increasing flight connections to the UK boost short-stay visitors
There are daily scheduled flights to London and regular flights to Manchester and Luton, with increasing competition driving down fares to help make Gibraltar a more viable short-stay destination for the key UK tourism market. Of particular importance is the arrival of low-cost airlines, with Monarch Airlines flying from London Luton.
Land reclaim projects used for tourism accommodation
The scarcity of land viable for building has capped growth in tourism. However, this pressure was relieved over the review period by ambitious land reclaim projects from the sea, which provided sea front locations for a number of tourism-related buildings. Much of the cost of these projects was met by the public sector, which was of considerable help to the private sector companies using them.
Gibraltar continues to market its Britishness to incoming tourists
Attempts to integrate Gibraltar into Spain failed in 2004, with the vast majority of residents voting to remain UK citizens. This is reflected in the facilities offered to tourists, which overwhelmingly offer a taste of the UK in a Mediterranean climate and Gibraltar tends to be marketed in this way.
Gibraltar to launch a low-cost airline, Fly Gibraltar
Fly Gibraltar, a low-cost airline plans to launch low-cost flights from The Rock of Gibraltar to London Stansted, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Dublin and Cork from April 2007, but it started ticketing from October 2006.
Low taxation rates bring an increasing number of tourists on shopping trips
There is no value-added tax (VAT) applicable in Gibraltar, nor is there any tax on alcohol or cigarettes. Cheaper transport connections have made it a more viable destination for tourists looking for cheap shopping options, as well as the increasing number of smugglers bringing goods back to the UK in particular and not paying excise duty.
