January 2021 will go down in history as a tourism disaster as figures hit a new low. There were only 252 hotels open in the whole archipelago during the month, which is 45% of the total, which had 88,850 people stay in them (including local and national tourists), giving a daily balance of 12 visitors a day staying in them on average, some in complexes with more than 1,000 rooms.
The number of travellers that stayed is in no comparison to the 660,000 in January 2020, and it is of course foreign tourist numbers that are down the most as a result of the restrictions and confinements applied in the main tourism markets the Canary Islands of Germany and the United Kingdom.
