Easter in Maspalomas 2025, with forecasts of occupancy close to 90%, presents a complex panorama due to the possible strike of two key sectors for tourism: motorhome owners and workers in the sector.
The motorhome community is demanding clear regulations to prevent the "persecution" they suffer from some establishments. They are demanding regulations that allow them to park and spend the night in suitable places without being penalized.
The FSOC (Canarian Trade Union Federation) is leading a protest movement against the employers' association in the tourism sector, which they accuse of not improving the working conditions of workers despite record turnover. They are demanding wage and labour improvements.
Possible support from CCOO to the employers:
The FSOC criticises the support that the CCOO union is giving to the employers, which they consider an obstacle to achieving their demands.
Both strikes, if carried out, could negatively affect Easter in Maspalomas, a period of great tourist influx. The lack of motorhomes and the possible interruption of tourist services would cause inconveniences for visitors.
Negotiations between the various sectors involved are expected to intensify in the coming days to avoid strikes and ensure a smooth Easter in Maspalomas.
Although no specific data has been published on forecasts for tourist arrivals to Maspalomas for Easter 2025, a significant influx of visitors is anticipated, based on recent trends and promotional efforts.
