In its third edition, the fair has expanded its footprint by an impressive 15,000 square meters, reflecting its growing popularity and significance. Bernal highlighted the fair’s accessibility, stating, “It is aimed at anyone who wants to visit it.” Additionally, she noted the strategic efforts through the Chamber of Commerce to open markets in Africa, emphasizing that events like this help showcase Lanzarote’s products to international audiences. This initiative not only promotes local businesses but also fosters economic ties with neighboring regions.
