The CC-PNC group of the Tenerife Council requests the reactivation of Urban Consortium for the Rehabilitation of Puerto de la Cruz to “promote tourism and economic recovery in the north of the island.” The nationalist advisor, Diana Mora, points out that the official data of Tenerife Tourism indicate that overnight stays have decreased by 12% in Cross port and that the average stay of visitors was 4.98 days in 2021: “We are in a critical situation for tourism that is even more pronounced in the North due to the inaction of the PSOE. If no action is taken urgently, We run the risk of definitely lagging behind other tourist destinations. ”
Diana Mora considers that the arrival of the PSOE to the Cabildo and the Town Hall of Puerto de la Cruz “It has slowed down the Consortium’s activity. They took away the town-planning powers and it has not promoted or investments or carried out the new Improvement and Modernization Plan. We are talking about an organization that has to articulate the rehabilitation, promotion and management of the tourist destination in terms of tourism and, unfortunately, today we are suffering from this ineffectiveness ”.
The counselor of CC-PNC indicates that together with the reactivation of the Urban Consortium for the Rehabilitation of Puerto de la Cruz “It is necessary to implement specific actions for the city”, and regrets that “the PSOE has stopped the project of the sports and fishing dock or the improvement of the San Francisco Park. They even tried to paralyze the works of the Insular Center of Aquatic Sports because it was our performance from the past mandate, although fortunately the works continue to develop “.
“We have presented many proposals in the Cabildo to improve the tourist situation in Tenerife; They have all rejected them and now we are paying the consequences ”
Mora also points out that “we have had a government at the national and regional level that never reacted in time, not even to start PCRs, neither antigens nor controls at airports. Neither has it launched any specific campaign to attract international tourists as other countries that are direct competition of our destination did ”. In addition, remember that “we have presented many proposals in the Council to improve the tourist situation in Tenerife and they have rejected all of them and now we are paying the consequences ”.
