In 2021 and 2022, the Canary Islands obtained an income of more than 400 million euros thanks to the attraction of remote workers, and its relevance lies in the fact that to reach this turnover, the archipelago would have needed to attract three times as many conventional tourists, as reported by the Canary Islands' Minister of Tourism, Yaiza Castilla, at a recent meeting in the Azores, where the Canary Islands presented its strategy to attract this segment of travelers.
The Minister recalled that remote workers generate spending "three times higher than that of conventional tourists, and, in addition, this spending is better distributed at the destination since teleworkers seek more authentic experiences and offer new business opportunities at the local level."
In addition, the stay of these visitors is also longer, "which reduces dependence on air transport and, therefore, rows in favor of a much more sustainable tourism model," concludes the Minister.
