Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 6 May. (Press Europa) –
The president of the Canary Islands Government, Fernando Clavijo—who also serves as the National Secretary of CC—expressed on Tuesday his support for a proposal in Tenerife to examine the introduction of a tourist rate for overnight stays for non-residents.
In his remarks to the media, he highlighted that such rates already exist, citing examples from Masca Barranco (Tenerife), the municipality of Mogán (Gran Canaria), and the fees required in Lanzarote to access the network of tourist centres.
“This route is not only being considered, but is already underway,” he stated, reminding everyone that during the National CC Congress, the CC also approved the option to “investigate” adjustments in taxation if a “redistribution of wealth” from tourism through salaries is not achieved.
