The counselor of the Socialist Group and former CEO of the Art, Culture and Tourism Centers, Benjamín Perdomo, has pointed out that the increase in income after the price increase of the tickets “must have an impact on the canon of the City Councils”.
Perdomo has indicated that the increase of more than 60% in the price of tickets is what has generated in turn an increase of 40% in the company's income and that therefore “these benefits should also have an impact on the increase in income for the municipalities”.
“The fee paid in 2024, in the midst of a record number of tourist arrivals, is the same as that paid by the previous government group in the midst of the COVID crisis with zero tourism in Lanzarote. The canon of the Centers must be in line with the economic moment that the company is experiencing, otherwise, the spirit of this ceases to make sense. If the price of tickets rises, the logical thing is that the benefit has consequences for all parties”, added the socialist councilor.
Likewise, the former head of the CACT, has pointed out that “this equitable distribution would have a positive impact on the municipalities of the island that are precisely the least benefited by the tourist occupation, as is the case of Tinajo and Haría”.
