A new perspective for tourism on the islands
The Green Islands Law has opened new possibilities for tourism development on the islands. Since its modification in 2019, the construction of tourist beds on agricultural or landscape protection land is allowed, as long as certain conditions are met. This modification was requested by the Cabildo of La Palma, with Anselmo Pestana as president and Alicia Vanoostende as insular Minister of Tourism.
A response to the current situation
The Green Islands Law is a response to the need to boost tourism on the islands, while protecting the natural and agricultural environment. This law allows people who lost their properties due to the volcanic eruption to rebuild on agricultural or landscape protection land. It is important to highlight that this reconstruction is carried out in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner.
Benefits for the local economy
The Green Islands Law not only boosts tourism on the islands, but also generates economic benefits for the local community. The construction of tourist beds on agricultural or landscape protection land creates employment and contributes to the economic development of the area. In addition, this law encourages the recovery of heritage wealth that was lost during the volcanic eruption.
A call to seriousness and rigor
Given the criticism and misinformation, it is important to remember that the Green Islands Law has been approved by the Government of the Canary Islands and is in the process of being passed into law in Parliament. This law establishes the rules for the reconstruction of homes, second homes and vacation homes on agricultural or landscape protection land. It is unfortunate that a rule that seeks to promote tourism development and the economic recovery of the island is criticized.
Conclusions
The Green Islands Law has opened new opportunities for tourism on the islands, allowing the construction of tourist beds on agricultural or landscape protection land. This law is a response to the current situation and seeks to promote the economic development of the area, generating employment and promoting the recovery of lost heritage wealth. It is important to be correctly informed about this law and avoid misinformation and demagoguery.
