According to Mr. Fajardo, this remarkable growth in tourism, which has not been noted since 2002, is mainly thanks to the "excellent customer service" on the part of the tourism industry, which has been exhibited in rescent years. The increased customer service has according to the government advisor meant that customer are more and more chosing to return to the archipelago, trusting in it's ability to deliver customer satisfaction, safety and and a sense of positive predicatability.

As Mr Fajardo stated, the Canary Islands are "recovering " - possibly from the bad name it has recieved from earlier years of mass charter toruism, and has " managed to break a downwards trend.... this is very important" for the Canary Islands, and it proves "we are on the right path".
