Canary Islands Celebrate Culture and Tourism with New Initiatives

The Canary Islands are buzzing with new initiatives that highlight the region’s rich culture and its status as a premier tourist destination. In a recent ceremony, a TUI fly Boeing 737-8 was named ‘Fuerteventura’ at the airport south of Puerto del Rosario, marking a significant milestone in the island’s tourism history. The aircraft, with the registration D-AMAH, was welcomed with a warm ceremony attended by key figures including Jéssica de León, Counselor for Tourism and Employment of the Canary Islands Government, and Sebastian Ebel, Chairman of the Executive Board of TUI Group.

Fuerteventura, known for its stunning beaches and ideal conditions for watersports, is a favorite among German TUI guests, especially during the winter season. The island’s constant strong winds and diverse beaches make it a paradise for surfers, kite surfers, and windsurfers. TUI’s commitment to the island is evident through its extensive offerings, including 500 weekly return-flights and over 1,000 hotels across the Canary Islands.

In addition to the aviation milestone, the Canary Islands are also celebrating their cultural heritage. The Municipal Theater of Tías is hosting the Montaña de Gaida Festival, an event that showcases Canarian folklore in its purest form. This festival is a testament to the islands’ vibrant cultural scene and their efforts to preserve traditional practices.

For tourists, the Canary Islands offer a wide range of accommodations and activities. From the luxurious resorts like Radisson Blu Resort in Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, which feature modern amenities and stunning ocean views, to the artisanal and gastronomic experiences at events like the Feria del Sureste in Vecindario, Gran Canaria, there is something for every visitor.
