Tourism of Tenerife
Tourism of Tenerife re-engages in a new edition of the leading exhibition for the sector in the archipelago, alongside the primary sector section operated by the Cabildo. It will feature a dedicated space on the Heineken stage, with several chefs participating, including some with Michelin stars. An extensive programme ensures that the four municipalities will hold a distinctive importance.
Reference
The Minister of Tourism for the Cabildo, Lope Afonso, states that Tenerife is “the major reference point for Gastronomy in the Canary Islands, a truth that has transcended, evolving into a cultural pillar and a dynamic aspect of our economy.” The tourism sector increasingly supports the culinary scene and local products, transforming them into “a thriving success and especially of high quality.” The coincidence of the tenth anniversary of Gastrocanarias and the 25th of the Island Gastronomy Plan encourages an extensive selection of activities at the Tenerife Tourism Stand.
