UK holidaymakers heading to Gran Canaria might need to start budgeting for a new tourist tax as the island announces plans to charge visitors, hot on the heels of Tenerife's recent fee announcement.
Antonio Morales, head of Gran Canaria's local government, expressed the need for better management of the area. Healso mentioned that this move is part of a broader initiative aimed at safeguarding various natural attractions from environmental harm, including the famous Maspalomas Sand Dunes and Bandama Caldera.One idea on the table is to shuttle tourists from Tejeda to Roque Nublo by bus, reducing the number of cars in the vicinity.
"We have to deepen the added value, the increase in turnover, profit, and wealth. Therefore, all this will be discussed openly without holding back and no taboo subjects." Morales' announcement follows moves by officials in Tenerife to impose a tourist tax on visitors. It comes in the wake of a massive demonstration on April 20 by angry locals protesting about mass tourism.
