The Minister of Tourism of the Government of the Canary Islands, Yaiza Castilla, has announced this Wednesday that the natural pool adaptation plan promoted by her department will not be carried out as a result of the "high social response" --it has more than 16,000 signatures on the change.org platform--.
"It is not a priority project for this Ministry, I have put it aside, it does not have a budget for it," she commented in statements to a Canary Islands radio station collected by Europa Press.
Castilla commented that the decision to promote this initiative now lies with the island councils, recalling that the Tenerife council, for example, already launched the 'Tenerife and the Sea' plan in the past, during the CC government.
The master plan, promoted by the General Directorate of Tourism Infrastructure, envisaged the adaptation for use as bathing areas of a total of 117 natural pools in the archipelago from a set of 492 documented by the Executive.
