Holidaymakers opting for rental properties in Spain are looking for higher standards from their accommodation.

This is the finding of the Campaya Rental Property Market Trends 2011 report, which revealed that visitors to the country are increasingly searching for "levels of luxury equal to, if not better than, at home".

As a result, the organisation suggested that those who invest in a property in Spain with the intention of letting it out to tourists may need to do more when it comes to furnishing and decorating the flat or house.

However, it warned that spending extra money on kitting out a property will not necessarily lead to higher rents, because the supply of such holiday homes continues to outweigh demand.

The Campaya report added taking the time and effort to do this will make it easier to attract travellers.

It concluded: "Make it desirable, make it affordable and market it properly, and you have a good chance of making some money out of your holiday home investment."

Earlier this week, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey de Espana Marc Pritchard suggested that investors may want to focus their attention on popular golfing destinations, as this section of the tourism market is "resilient and reliable".
