SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Feb. 11 (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Canary Islands will recover 57% of the tourist Gross Domestic Product (GDP) when the economic closure of 2021 is made, reaching 8,834 million, 29.8% more than in 2020, while for a “hopeful” 2022 it hopes to reach 90% .
This is stated in the ‘Impactur’ report presented this Friday at a press conference by the Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce of the Government of the Canary Islands, Yaiza Castilla, and the executive vice president of Exceltur, José Luis Zoreda, who have agreed on the ” good prospects” of this exercise if a seventh very intense wave of coronavirus does not appear.
Zoreda has recognized the “bump” of the tourism sector in 2020 due to the health pandemic, which translated, in the case of the Canary Islands, into a drop of more than 15 points of GDP, going from 15,597 million in 2019 to 6,807 million in 2020 .
