Tourists Plan to increase popular trails on TenerifeTeide National Park will face fees up to £ 22, as a new “eco-tax” is to be introduced by 2026.
The most viewed natural site in Canary IslandsTide National Park welcomes more than four million visitors every year, roughly due to Teide-Pico Viejo Stratovolcano, 3,718 meters, the most peak in the Spanish region.
Tourists in Tannerifs often increase the house for small organisms, unique flora and organisms and small creatures such as the Taneur lizard.
However, local authorities are now trying to protect and preserve this biodiversity with a new set of rules and regulations for the park, while all tourist experiences and visitors expect to increase security.
These measures include a ternarif counsel-up to € 25 (£ 21.75) for some trails in L Tide National Park, including Trail 10 “Telsforo Bravo” and Tide-Pick Viazo Stratovolcano or Trail 7 “Montana Blanka-Rambalta”.
In exchange for fees, the council said that a provision of information and interpretation services about the natural environment of the trail would be offered.
The fees will be different, depending on the visitors’ residence, the number of travel days, the age of the visitor and the type of tour peers they have reached € 25 with the cap.
Tourists who are not traveling hiking from Canary Island on Trail 10 will start € 15 (£ 13) for an unpublished journey, or € 10 (£ 8.70) for an unpublished journey.
Tourists traveling hiking on Trail 7 will pay € 6 (£ 5.20) in the week and € 10 (£ 8.70) on weekends and holidays.
Tannerif residents will not need to pay to visit the trails, while those who live elsewhere in the Canary Islands can use the trails for low fees.
The Park’s trustees board and the Canary Islands’ ecological ministry said that they also agree on the fees to help in the conservation of the natural sector and strengthen the safety of visitors.
“With these measures, we want a balance between visitors bliss and conservation of a delicate and unique ecosystem,” said Rosa Davila, president of the Taneerif Island Council.
“This is a brave decision and the first of many guidelines will protect our national park, which belongs to all the people of Taneurif.
Fees are not the only measures that are being introduced, as the officials are also setting up the capacity of 300 visitors per day on Trail 10.
Climbing the pit of Mount Tide from La Ramblata will also be subject to strict measures, such as a list of compulsory equipment and maximum capacity of 50 people in slots per time.
Breaking rules can result in fine of up to € 600 (£ 521). This includes unauthorized access, not carrying the right hiking permit, or not taking essential things such as fully charged phones and flashlight.
Some of the new rules will benefit tourists, such as special workers and English -speaking employees are hired for Trail 10. In addition, 80 percent of the morning permits will be reserved for overnight hikers in Altvista Sharan, who is ideal for those expecting sunrise in the crater.
