The days of hit and miss advertising are a relic of the past, www.tenerifemagazine.com has now launched a range of online advertising packages that are targeted at specific interest groups here in Tenerife and among those already booked to visit or still open to sunshine temptation.

After years of limited interest publications carrying the same press releases and old recycled articles, Tenerife Magazine arrived like a breath of fresh air with bright original stories from a team of established writers with in depth knowledge of  Tenerife from years of living and exploring on this ever changing island.  Honest accounts of the pitfalls and frustrations of daily living as well as a passion for the culture, history and beauty of  Tenerife have helped to build a strong readership of several nationalities with 10,000 visitors a month and rising. Facebook fans currently stand at 1,376 and their Twitter and Flickr accounts are among the most popular Tenerife reference points on the internet.

The immediacy of Tenerife Magazine means they can focus on special events from build up to launch and beyond with reports and photos published within hours. One of the charms of living in Tenerife is the relaxed approach to life but it can be frustrating getting details about fiestas and celebrations, another area where instant online updates pull in the readers.

Maybe it’s time you looked at what Tenerife Magazine can do for your business, pop in and browse through the many advertsing options and try the package that will bring a constant stream of customers. It’s a smarter way to get your message across.

Trish Johnson

Buenavista Golf put on its best face this week to welcome 126 top players and television coverage from 120 countries and English player Trish Johnson rose above all the pressure to win the 2010 Tenerife Ladies Open. It took a cool head from the Bristol born player but her  23 years on the circuit served her well and old  she arrived in good form after coming runner up in the Portugal Open.

The scenic beauty of the course couldn’t be allowed to detract from its unforgiving nature, maybe it was all about peaking at the right moment, Trish set herself up well with a wonderful round of 66 on the third day to go into the final round at the top of the leaders board. There was a dual threat from the French but in the end Virginie Lagoutte-Clement had to settle for second and Anne-Lisa Caudal took third spot. There are more detailed daily reports and photos at Tenerife Magazine but here are the podium positions.

• 1.- Trish Johnson (England)     274 (67+71+66+70)
• 2.- Virginie Lagoutte (France)   275 (67+70+70+68)
• 3.- Anne Lise Caudal (France)   276 (68+71+70+67)

It’s all good fuel for the booming golf tourism market in the Canary Islands. just this week Rita Martin, Tourism minister for the Gobierno (government) announced an increase in golf tourism visitors for the first half of 2010 compared to the same period last year. There were 12,200 more heading for our courses, that’s up by 3.5% , not bad at all in the current economic climate. Tenerife Ladies Open will have helped to keep sunshine golf in everyones minds.
