This helps reduce overcrowding and protects the environment from damage caused by too many visitors.
To combat the challenges of tourism, many Canarians are also focusing on supporting local businesses. There is a strong effort to promote small shops, restaurants and markets that offer traditional Canarian products and experiences. By encouraging visitors to spend money in local, family-run businesses rather than large tourist resorts, the island aims to keep its culture and economy thriving while reducing the negative effects of mass tourism.
Gran Canaria’s environment has shaped the way people live, just as your hometown’s geography influences how you live. How does the land around you impact the way you work, the food you eat, or the way your community is built?
By exploring different environments around the world, we can understand how people adapt to their surroundings with creativity and resilience. Gran Canaria is a prime example of how people can thrive in harmony with the challenges and beauty of their environment.
