From 14^th to 20^th February 2011 Alicante’s Marina de Denia will be holding the First International Yacht Charter Convention, an innovative event specialising in yacht charters for tourists. It will be the first time that Spain has hosted such a fair.

This event will naturally be of interest to professionals, but it is also likely to attract the general public, especially those who have a particular interest in nautical holidays. Many aspects of the yacht charter business will be highlighted, including packages that will be offered to tour operators, travel agencies and charter companies. The convention will bring together various interested businesses and individuals, allowing them to interact and thus to develop more suitable packages.

The organisers’ first step will be to promote the convention via the next meeting of FITUR, where representatives from Nautical Marina Alta will demonstrate their commitment to attracting and promoting tourism in their area. Dignitaries from the municipalities of Denia, Javea, Moraira and Calpe will attend to display the extent of the coastal shipping between these areas.

Rimontgo has a selection of beautiful villas for sale in both Denia and Javea with views to the Mediterranean Sea and yacht marinas:

Cyprus offers a superb tax system whereby foreign pensions will only ever be taxed at 5 percent – maximum. “This is exceptional,” says Serge Cowan, MD at Unique Living, specialist property agents offering supreme luxury and lifestyle homes around the world including luxury homes for sale in Limassol.



“When looking for a retirement home, one has to consider not just what the country has to offer but also where you stand financially. Cyprus must come high on people’s agenda because it has so many benefits”.

In some countries you could be paying tax in your home country on pension income of 40 percent or even higher, so the 5 percent is something that really needs to be taken into consideration when buying abroad.

Cyprus also has many other benefits: good year-round weather, low crime rate, you drive on the left, a cosmopolitan atmosphere, quality golf courses, European Union membership and superbly located at the east end of the Mediterranean, providing convenient access to the Middle East and Far East as well as Europe.

In addition, the Government of Southern Cyprus is making big strides to be a serious contender in the world of “movers and shakers.” Developments are increasingly for the luxury market, and soon to be released is a Marina Resort in Limassol. This is to include a manmade island for residential villas, plus there is rumoured to be a 5-star hotel and berths for 600 privately owned boats. All of which is to be in the heart of the old town of Limassol and its rapidly growing commercial and business centre.

“Southern Cyprus is rapidly changing and those who are astute can be part of this altering picture – one that is creating a supremely elegant and sophisticated island to appeal to discerning buyers from around the world. A shrewd buyer looking at the current market place will not be disappointed with Cyprus and in particular luxury real estate in Limassol,” concludes Serge.
