On this Friday, the Plenary Session of the Tenerife Cabildo has given the green light to a proposal aimed at boosting an Island Scheme for camping, parking, and designated areas for caravans and motorhomes. This initiative ensures the development of sites equipped with essential services like potable water, electricity, and sanitation facilities to avoid any adverse effects on the environment and local mobility.
The resolution entails the creation of a provisional regulation. Additionally, it mandates the submission of the draft of the aforementioned strategy and the strategic environmental document to the Environmental Assessment Commission of Tenerife (CEAT) for Strategic Environmental Evaluation.
Furthermore, the Cabildo will drive the negotiation of collaborative agreements with the relevant municipalities to kickstart construction projects, as per the approved urban planning, in the initially identified zones. These areas will constitute the island-wide network of camping spots, parking lots, and overnight stops designated for caravans and motorhomes.
The ultimate goal of the Strategy is to cater to the recreational needs of the extensive user base seeking this recreational pursuit. The plan is to implement uniform standards across the entirety of Tenerife, ensuring quality, accessibility, and safety, along with top-notch public services and amenities. This framework aims to facilitate the practice of this activity in a regulated, sustainable, and environmentally responsible manner within the coastal regions of the island, the primary locations for such activities, as well as in natural settings.
To conclude, the resolution includes devising the Strategy from a standpoint of sustainability and environmental preservation, guaranteeing that all locations are sited in undeveloped areas and adequately outfitted to accommodate the proposed infrastructure.
