Smile Reasons to holiday in Tenerife

I was thinking, after learning of the forthcoming "Tonight with Trevor McDonald" feature, and @treble99 saying he'll be holidaying in the US this year; flight prices may be a reason for UK holidaymakers not to come to Tenerife, but there are so many better reasons for UK holidaymakers to come here, rather than other holiday destinations.

Let's list a few. (how many can we think of - perhaps the finished list could be a sticky) I'll start the ball rolling with 10...

1 ) All-year round golf (obviously my first item )

2 ) English widely spoken in bars, hotels & restaurants

3 ) Part of the EU, so familiar laws

4 ) Only 4 hours travel time direct from the UK

5 ) No visa required to get here

6 ) Health care covered by free European health card

7 ) Normally not too hot or too cold whatever time of year

8 ) Very safe island - low crime rate and quick-to-respond police

9 ) Tenerife is a clean & tidy island, with good tourist facilities

10 ) Pretty well 100% safe from terrorist attacks

.. come on, folks - add to the list!

And that 4 hours is ALMOST due South so you are continually flying into the sun as opposed to flying 4 hours either East or West.

12 or 13 is it?
Fantastic diving all year round on dive sites that are never over crowded and only ever (usually) 20 mins at most from the marina's.

Yes, another good point:

No time difference from the UK or jet lag problems
