The holiday dilemma, the new Canarian reality.
Although it generates income to small (and large) owners, it becomes a terrible brake on traditional housing rentals.
The situation of rental housing in relation to families of middle-income workers is becoming an impossible task. The lack of supply in tourist and not so tourist areas is generating a serious problem of coexistence. But on the other hand it is an economic reality that seems to have come to stay.
The weight of holiday homes within the tourism sector continues to grow in the Canary Islands. Between 2020 and 2022 it added 10,000 new places. In total, last summer the offer reached 172,000 places distributed in 40,000 homes. The Archipelago is the second community with the highest percentage of this type of flats on the total number of homes, only behind the Balearic Islands, but while it has fallen there, here the opposite happens.
According to the Canarian Association of Holiday Rentals (ASCAV) this modality leaves an economic impact that in the Canary Islands "currently exceeds 2 billion euros. Economy that falls directly into the pockets of Canarian families and countless companies that add value to holiday homes, such as the rent, commerce, catering, leisure, etc. sector. Not to mention, the multitude of new companies that have been created to cover the needs of holiday home, such as managers, intermediaries, cleaning, maintenance, construction and reform companies, etc. "
In this way "this way of understanding tourism is criticized by some and praised by others, but the reality is that holiday rentals have become a valid tourist option and for which many of the visitors who come to the islands choose".
The reality is that since in 2018 the Supreme Court overturned the Government's holiday rental decree that tried to prevent holiday homes in tourist areas, it has not stopped growing.
Absolutely full for Easter
This modality, which does not stop growing, has had in the month of February "the best in history in the Canary Islands, with occupations close to 80%", say from ASCAV, "many of our customers are repeaters. In fact, we already have reserves for next winter," he says. For the next Holy Week, the forecast is that the absolute full of 2022 will be repeated.
