The popular ones highlight that the regulation promoted by the Tourism Department of the Government of the Canary Islands will put an end to years of regulatory vacuum and will provide legal security to the sector. The spokesperson for the PP of Puerto del Rosario, Ana Padilla, highlights that “the Canary Islands will finally have a regulation that responds to a historical demand and will allow the organization of a tourism modality with enormous potential for Fuerteventura.” The Popular Party of Puerto del Rosario has assessed “very positively” the upcoming approval of the regulation that will regulate campsites, camping areas and other similar establishments in the Canary Islands; an initiative promoted by the Department of Tourism of the Government of the Canary Islands directed by Jéssica de León and that responds to a historical demand of the sector, as the popular ones highlight in a statement. The training considers that the future regulations will mean a before and after for a tourism modality that until now lacked a specific legal framework, generating uncertainty for both users and those who wish to develop this type of projects on the islands. The spokesperson for the Popular Party in the Puerto del Rosario City Council, Ana Padilla, highlighted that “there is finally a response to a demand that the sector has been demanding for years. It is a necessary regulation, agreed upon with professionals and that will allow us to offer legal security, organize this activity and promote new development opportunities.” The popular ones remember that outdoor tourism has been part of the reality of Fuerteventura for decades and that its growth made it essential to have clear rules that make this modality compatible with the protection of the territory and the quality of the tourist offer. For Ana Padilla, the approval of the regulation should be understood as an opportunity to diversify the municipality’s tourism offer and respond to a growing demand from visitors seeking more direct contact with nature. “Fuerteventura has always been linked to camping and caravan tourism. What was missing was a regulation that offered guarantees, favored investment and allowed this activity to be developed in an orderly and sustainable manner. Now it is up to the administrations to take advantage of this opportunity,” said the popular spokesperson. The Popular Party trusts that the new regulations will allow progress towards a more organized and safer model, both for those who practice this type of tourism and for municipalities that wish to promote spaces adapted to the new regulation.
