A complete commitment to the modernisation of the tourism offer in the south of Gran Canaria. The vice-president of the FEHT, Fernando Estany, has indicated that the employers' association is considering filing an appeal against the 0,15 euro eco-tax in Mogán because it is a tax that will doubly tax the visitor. "It has to be something that is charged to a specific private citizen for a specific service," he said. Estany replaced the Dutch resident Theodorus Smulders in 2023 and it was then that he said that "we will work to have an increasingly professional, sustainable destination that is a leader in the renovation of tourist infrastructures."
Estany is a native of Las Palmas and defends residential use for those complexes that are fully or mostly residential, given that in the period 2015-2022 in the Canary Islands 68.000 non-hotel places, 2.000 million in economic activity, 44.000 jobs and nearly three million euros in tax revenue were lost. The company he has in Las Palmas has a share capital of 1,6 million euros after a capital reduction in September 2024. And the Bungalows Playamar community of goods has its headquarters in that same space.
On Booking.com, it says that the complex "has a Mediterranean style and offers a peaceful atmosphere" and on TripAdvisor, the responses to tourists are coming in dribs and drabs. The official website of the complex, created with the program of the Canary Islands Agency for Research, Innovation and Information Society financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) with EU funds, has not been updated since 2015. The photos have been removed by Google: "Updated (Saturday, May 15, 2010 15:10 PM)", says the photo section of the complex. The president of the AEAT stressed in 2023 the importance that access to public aid for all types of entities would have for extra-hotel activity, "including communities of owners, which until now are usually excluded because they do not have legal personality," he pointed out.
