Likewise, Cabral Betancor insisted that “given our condition as an archipelago, mobility on each island is highly conditioned since we do not have other options such as a rail network on the mainland. That is why rent a car companies are practically the only option for our visitors, who are not only foreigners, but also internal tourism that travels a lot between the islands. Car rental is a sector with great added value for the tourism industry and, of course, for the Canaries themselves”.
