The president of the Cabildo of La Palma, Sergio Rodriguez, has confirmed La Palma’s commitment to sustainable tourist development whilst also preventing La Palma’s tourism evolving into the situation experienced in the eastern and capital islands. Rodriguez stresses that “We don’t even want to hear the word moratorium” as La Palma can not accept similar measures to the other islands whilst their economy is still recovering post-2021 eruption.
