Air traffic continues to grow
Demand for travelling abroad by air is continuing to grow across the world, according to new figures.
Airports Council International (ACI) stated that during the year to October 2007, there was a 6% increase in the number of air passengers worldwide.
The organisation said that much of this growth had been driven by popularity of the African market, particularly in countries such as Morocco.
This suggests that its appeal as a tourist destination is increasing, a trend that could also lead to further interest among foreign property buyers.
ACI added that there was also a strong increase in air traffic in South America, further indicating the popularity of emerging markets such as Brazil.
The figures back up recent statistics from the International Air Transport Association, which described the current level of demand for overseas flights as "robust".
