Tourism has been Lanzarote's main economic driver, but also a source of territorial and social imbalances.
The transition towards a more sustainable model is key to ensuring the island's future wellbeing.
This sector proposes evolving towards a regenerative tourism, where tourist activity actively contributes to the territory and the local community.
The Challenge
High dependence on tourism
The island economic model is vulnerable to external crises.
Growing territorial pressure
Tourist activity impacts resources and natural spaces.
Volume-based model
Growth does not always generate social value.
Disengaged visitor
Limited environmental and cultural co-responsibility.
Transform tourism into a tool for territorial, social and economic regeneration
