The Cabildo of Lanzarote, through the Department of Commerce, presented this Friday the fourth edition of the Consume Lanzarote Vouchers campaign, an already consolidated initiative that is developed with the collaboration of Felapyme (Interinsular Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises of Lanzarote), and with the aim of boosting the economy through consumption in local establishments.
The island's president, Oswaldo Betancort, said during the presentation that Consume Lanzarote "is one of the firm commitments of the current Government Group of the Cabildo, which multiplies its investment year after year to expand the impact of the campaign; with which we also help families to combat inflation". In addition, Betancort clarified that "it is not only an economic support campaign, but also a real commitment to our people and our merchants". And he recalled how the dates chosen are ideal for shopping before the start of the school year or even for the Christmas campaign.
For his part, the Minister of Commerce, Armando Santana, stressed how this campaign manages to channel public resources directly to local commerce, generating a positive impact on employment and the local economy: "We have increased the island's contribution by more than 100,000 euros, reaching half a million euros, of which 387,000 euros are directly aimed at subsidizing the vouchers (last year it was 285,000 euros). With this institutional support, we managed to ensure that in this new phase, citizens can purchase vouchers of 60 euros for only 30 euros, which can be used in a wide network of participating shops in all the municipalities of the island," he explained.
3,400 more vouchers than last year
The Consume Lanzarote campaign continues to exceed figures and consolidate itself as an engine of revitalization. Thus, the effective investment of the Cabildo will reach half a million euros this year - most of it will be allocated to the sales campaign, while another part will be dedicated to the execution of the campaign (promotion, management, hiring of personnel...). This will facilitate a global economic impact - including the contribution of buyers - of 774,000 euros, that is, more than 200,000 euros than during the past year.
The 2024 campaign resulted in 9,500 vouchers issued, while the forecast is that during this 2025 a total of 12,900 vouchers will be made available to citizens, which will mean 3,400 more vouchers. The forecast for registrations of businesses is also increasing, as the Cabildo and Felapyme expect to exceed 300 participating establishments.
Each user can purchase a maximum of 6 vouchers, with a value of 60 euros each, of which the customer contributes 30 euros and the Cabildo subsidizes the remaining 30. In this way, with a personal contribution of 180 euros, each consumer will have 360 euros to spend in the participating shops.
To ensure an equitable distribution, each participating business may receive a maximum of 6,000 euros in redeemed vouchers.
Key dates of the campaign
The registration of businesses in Lanzarote and La Graciosa to participate in the Bonos Consume Lanzarote campaign will take place from September 1 to October 31; while the sale and exchange of vouchers can be made from September 19 (the exact time will be announced in advance) to November 15, 2025.
The procedures must be carried out through the platform www.consumelanzarote.org
The Cabildo of Lanzarote has reiterated its gratitude to Felapyme, whose involvement is decisive in the management, coordination and development of the campaign.
