Tourists filled the Tourist Centers again last week, coinciding with the December long weekend, and once again the car queues returned to Timanfaya, as happens in every period of high affluence.
To avoid this, "approximately in a month" the reservation of "prior appointment" will be launched on the Centers' website. This was announced by the CEO of the CACT, Benjamín Perdomo, who states that this is "the next step" of the entity, after recently opening online sales through the website.
When it is operational, users will not only be able to buy their ticket, but it will also show "the entry time to the facility", something that he stresses would eliminate the usual queues "considerably".
Perdomo hopes that this new system will be implemented next January, since it is necessary to overcome "an adaptation process", to "detect failures" and correct them.
In relation to the tourist situation, and the foreseeable decrease in the arrival of passengers to the island with the new restrictions in the United Kingdom, Perdomo is "cautious", and assures that although it is true that there are cancellations of some groups, there are reservations on the other hand, which is causing the situation to be "compensated".
In addition, a few days before the end of the year, the counselor is satisfied and stresses that they expect to close it "in positive". "We hope that 2022 will not be better, but continuous," said Perdomo, referring to the first months of the year, when the island was close to "tourism 0".
