The Government of the Canary Islands, through an agreement between the areas of Tourist Infrastructure and Canary Ports, launches a project to improve the image and quality of the 13 non-capital ports of the Archipelago with the highest influx of users. Yesterday, this regional project had the municipality of Puerto de la Cruz as its presentation stage, whose fishing pier is on the list of areas to be modified. For your mayor Marco Gonzalez, this process “is going to guarantee the enjoyment of a town where tourist and resident coexist”. In the same way, “it shows that mature and excellent tourist destinations, such as Puerto, are not obsolete, but are prepared to face the future, now safer thanks to this agreement.” Likewise, González announced that this is not the only intervention that will be carried out in the town that he directs, since “a study is also being carried out on the breaks and the current situation of the Dock.”
The initiative contemplates two actions that will be distributed throughout all the selected coastal enclaves: the fine-tuning of security and information aimed at visitors. Regarding the first area, as detailed by Fernando Miñarro, director of Tourist Infrastructure, a preventive device will be installed with digital totems equipped with an automatic system that inflates when it comes into contact with water, “thus allowing any risk situation to be anticipated that can be given”. In addition to this, interpretive screens and tables will be placed to improve information “and show tourists, not only the attractions of the ports and their infrastructure, but all the culture and heritage that exists in each surrounding town.”
