Millions of euros are being pumped into new plans to exploit the volcanic nature of the Canary Islands and Tenerife has just announced its new project within these plans, Volcanoes of Life.

25.08.2010 - Tenerife is the only place in Europe where you can see all the volcanic processes and once the plans are in place the volcanoes will be another plus for our visitors, one which will distinguish us from all competitors and which no-one can copy. Island tourism councillor, José Manuel Bermúdez, explained, “this way we are able to show the richness of the volcanoes in their natural environment and promote them as a tourism attraction”. He reminded those present at the launch of the project, “this project is to complement our sun and beach offer and differentiate the island from other competing tourism destinations which do not have the diverse amount of options we have”. Volcano routes are to be created and complementary services developed. Specific interpretative guides are to be trained and courses available for receptionists and businesses as well as tourist guides.
