Lanzarote is hosting this week 'Go Islands Lanzarote', a familiarization trip that brings together representatives of the best wedding planning agencies in Europe interested in learning about the strengths of the destination. Through this initiative, "the island seeks to improve its positioning in a tourism segment that is taking off by leaps and bounds around the world."

The program of activities of 'Go Islands Lanzarote' includes the celebration of a working meeting between the participants of this familiarization trip and around 40 representatives of companies in the sector on the island. The Islote Fermina has hosted this seminar, in which knowledge and experiences have been exchanged around a tourism product that represents an estimated average investment of around 26,500 euros per link for the destination.

The president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, María Dolores Corujo, traveled to the emblematic space of the bay of Arrecife to welcome the participants in Go Islands Lanzarote and convey her gratitude "for believing in Lanzarote and in the possibilities that Lanzarote offers".

Corujo thanked "the effort, professionalism and involvement of a Lanzarote business community accustomed to successfully organizing very demanding events," and pledged to "continue adding efforts to boost a sector that is generating and providing wealth and job opportunities for the population of the island."

In the same vein, the CEO of the Tourist Centers, Benjamín Perdomo, expressed himself, who also highlighted the strength of "a wedding tourism that generates new opportunities for destinations and that has exploded after the new link formats that emerged after the pandemic, which led it to grow by 30% last year in the world compared to 2021. Go Islands Lanzarote means continuing to take steps towards improving our tourism competitiveness," he concluded.

"Unique landscapes", "small paradise" and "unique and unrepeatable destination" were some of the expressions used by the representatives of the wedding agencies to describe their experience on the island, from which they also take away "an outstanding perception of the climate and its gastronomic offer." "You have to start believing that you are a bomb destination," they added.

 

Lanzarote as a wedding destination

Surveys of specialized wedding tourism portals reflect that newlyweds value the proximity and attractions of the destination, the complementary offer and the quality of accommodation establishments as the main factors that make them opt for one or the other. "Lanzarote offers that, and much more," Corujo said. "This island offers hospitality, fun, facilities for organization, a unique leisure offer led by the Tourist Centers created by César Manrique, natural landscapes, gastronomy and a climate that allows you to get married any of the 365 days of the year," she concluded.
