Productivity in the Canary Islands' tourism sector is a key issue, given that this sector represents approximately 35% of the regional GDP and directly employs more than 170.000 people. In recent years, initiatives have been implemented to improve the sustainability and efficiency of tourism. Lopesan confirmed this Tuesday that it continues to focus on the well-being and commitment of its employees, achieving a positive impact on its workforce. In its latest initiative, the company recognized "the exceptional contribution of more than 250 employees belonging to its hotel teams, rewarding them with financial incentives that highlight the importance of a culture of hard work," the company said.
This recognition not only strengthens team morale but also fosters a work environment based on teamwork and excellence. With actions like this, Lopesan consolidates its position as a company that values and cares for its employees, creating a motivating environment full of opportunities. In the tourism sector, the CEOE has defended the need to provide predictability and flexibility to companies, especially in a changing environment like the current one. Furthermore, it has advocated for reducing bureaucratic burdens and promoting measures that foster innovation and sustainability, aspects that are also relevant to tourism in southern Gran Canaria.
The average tourist expenditure in the Canary Islands is approximately €1,387 per trip, with an average daily expenditure of €167,8. The Canary Islands have more than 217.000 hotel beds, many of which are located in the south of Gran Canaria, which is home to some of the largest and most modern tourist resorts on the islands. In 2024, the tourism sector generated more than €9.500 billion in accommodation revenue and total tourist expenditure of €22,350 billion.
