Tourism minister derided for suggesting La Palma volcano could lure visitors to Spanish archipelago

Spain’s tourism minister has been accused of insensitivity after suggestingcould be used as an “attraction” to lure visitors to the archipelago.

“The most important thing right now is reassuring tourists who have been affected, and also those who may be travelling to the island today or during the course of the week,”“We’re providing information so that tourists can travel to the island and witness something undoubtedly unprecedented for themselves. That information will let tourists know that the island is open and also whether their hotel has been affected so they can stay elsewhere and enjoy their holidays.

Maroto’s political opponents were quick to seize on her comments. “Minister, this is totally inappropriate!!!”
