The Minister of Tourism for the Canary Islands, Yaiza Castilla, announced yesterday, during the presentation of the strategy of transformation of the tourist model of the islands to cater for the 'post-covid' visitor, that the forecasts for August this year are optimistic. "The figure must be taken with caution and realism," Castilla said, making it clear that the Government does not want to generate "false expectations" after a difficult year.
The estimates that the Ministry of Tourism have put forward, indicate that in August of this year the Canary Islands will recover 50% of the tourist activity that they registered in the same month of 2019. However, as she was keen to stress, to reach this figure the health situation has to evolve as planned today, without new unknown circumstances, such as variants or mutations of the virus that take it out of control again.
