A prominent business delegation from Gran Canaria, led by representatives from key corporations such as Lopesan Hotel Group, Scala, and Viajes Insular, has completed a strategic mission to Beijing aimed at attracting investment and exploring cutting-edge technological solutions for the island. The meetings focused primarily on how Chinese innovation can optimize the real estate sector and, crucially, the tourism industry in southern Gran Canaria.
The mission culminated at the office of a technology partner, where the delegation was introduced to advanced Internet of Things (IoT) and Virtual Reality (VR) solutions. These tools are designed to boost efficiency and enhance the customer experience in key sectors in the south of the island. The main discussions focused on crucial challenges directly impacting the operations of large tourist resorts and real estate projects, where the Lopesan Group is a dominant player. IoT solutions aimed at improving safety and efficiency in large-scale construction projects and the maintenance of hotel infrastructure were addressed. This is critical for the management of large-scale complexes, such as the resorts in the south.
Developers in Gran Canaria explored interactive virtual reality solutions to enhance customer engagement and real estate marketing. This technology would allow buyers and investors to virtually explore luxury properties and resorts in the south of the island without having to travel there. VR tools were also presented as a promotional solution for cultural spaces, an area of potential tourism development that complements the island's sun and beach offerings.
The presence of companies like Lopesan on the mission underscores the interest of Gran Canaria's tourism sector in incorporating solutions that not only reduce costs but also raise the bar for the offerings. The collaboration with Beijing's technology sector marks a new horizon for investment in digitalization and innovation for the island. The delegation expressed its enthusiasm for continuing to collaborate with the technology partner, hoping to implement these smart and virtual reality solutions in practice in Spain, starting with tourism and construction infrastructure in Gran Canaria.
