Holiday operations to the island are continuing as normal, with the fires contained to more mountainous central areas of the island, far away from heavily touristed areas.
“We would like to highlight and express our gratitude for the exemplary conduct of both local residents and the more than 130,000 tourists on average who have been spending their time recently on an island with 931,626 inhabitants and who have followed the instructions issued by the authorities at all times,” Turismo de Tenerife said in a statement late on Monday (21 August).
