In news that may interest those seeking Canary Islands property, Tenerife has just opened a new attraction that could help boost tourist numbers.

Siam Park is a Thai-themed water park which is the biggest of its kind in Europe.

Rides include the Tower of Power – which sends riders hurtling down a near-vertical drop past a tank full of Mississippi alligators – as well as the Mekong Rapids and the Dragon, all of which could help attract many more families to the island.

Such a situation could boost those looking to rent out holiday properties to visitors.

Earlier this week Tenerife was pinpointed by business website Global edge as being the most popular location in Spain for overseas property buyers on the basis of Google searches.

It found that of the 60,000 searches for people looking to buy in Spain, 13,000 were centred on the island.
