Canary Islands tourism and aviation development

Overview

The Canary Islands government is pursuing infrastructure expansion and international market growth to manage rising travel demand. To address projected passenger increases through 2050, officials have proposed new runways at Gran Canaria Airport and Tenerife South Airport as part of the Strategy for Sustainable and Intelligent Mobility of the Canary Islands (Emsican).

In tandem with infrastructure planning, the archipelago is expanding its tourism reach in Canada. Efforts in Montreal and Toronto focus on new flight routes via Air Canada and Air Transat, utilizing Airbus A321LR aircraft to improve connectivity and reduce emissions. These initiatives target high-value Canadian travelers to bolster the islands' tourism position amidst competition from regions like Greece and Morocco.
