“A single seal to easily identify and recognize anywhere on the Island”
Likewise, the insular director of the area explains that the investment program will have a total validity of five years, to be financed in the 2022-2026 annuities. It will be developed in coordination with the municipalities, through bilateral agreements that will be signed taking into account the new operating conditions of the tourist offices, the commitments assumed by the parties, as well as the financing regime for the actions to be carried out in the dependencies. .
different levels
The program contemplates the execution of different improvement works according to the needs detected. In other words, some offices will require demolition and subsequent reconstruction, in the case of the tourist office located outside the Reina Sofía Tenerife Sur airport. As an example, in this space the previous dependencies have been demolished and work is already being carried out on a new infrastructure for the attention of tourists. The possibility of providing the Island with more offices is also contemplated.
