That’s exactly what Gran Canaria is betting on this summer. The Minister of Tourism of Gran Canaria, Carlos Alamo, is in charge of interpreting the decision that has been taken by the local government to promote tourism in the region.
The Alamo requires that Gran Canaria as a tourist destination be adapted to the needs of travelers. This could only mean more businesses, more income opportunities in the future and more opportunities to recover in one of the worst-hit regions two years after the pandemic.

And according to this study, Madrid will be in fourth place after London, Paris and Rome.
One of the most important factors when traveling with pets is finding a place to live that accepts them. Hotels do not need much to adapt to these requirements.

Of course, it is important to remember that pets are just another member of the family and just as important as the rest, so providing a good experience for them will be important.
