The People's Party (PP) of Lanzarote has proposed to the island's municipalities a draft ordinance regulating the use of motorhomes, caravans and campers. The initiative aims to streamline parking, restrict free camping and create specially equipped overnight areas.
The need for regulation stems from the growth of this type of tourism after the pandemic and the lack of uniform rules among municipalities, which has put strain on infrastructure. The proposal fits into the Canary Islands regional plan: according to one source, it aligns with a plan to develop new regulations for campsites and overnight areas; according to another, it is part of the II Plan for Active Municipalities of the Canary Islands.
