The Canary Islands government is finalising the first specific regulation for outdoor tourist accommodation, aiming to close a legal gap that has persisted for over 30 years. The new rules, expected to take effect before September 15, will require facilities to meet 21st-century standards and sustainability criteria. Officials acknowledge that no official data exists on the number of existing sites due to the lack of prior regulation. The sector has seen exponential growth, with tens of thousands of users during peak seasons.
