Artificial intelligence estimates that the world is home to nearly a million islands. And you have chosen ours, Lanzarote. We thank you and welcome you, and we invite you to care for and love it as we do here.
2
Move with respect. Don’t leave your mark on places shaped only by lava, wind, and the ocean.
3
Save water. It is the most precious commodity on an island plagued by thirst, which has displayed heroic tenacity in managing the scarce rainfall and humidity.
4
Let yourself be lulled. Let the music that accompanies you be the symphony of the waves against the shore, the whistle of the trade winds, and the murmur of your footsteps on the paths of rock and sand.
5
Don’t litter. Let your gaze only encounter the volcanoes, the badlands, the gerias, and the white of the popular architecture.
6
Be attentive and careful when you travel along the trails; you are surrounded by incredible biodiversity that must be protected.
7
Stones, plants, and marine materials are part of the landscape you’ll want to return to in all its splendor. Look for your souvenirs in shops, not in nature.
8
Treat yourself to local handicrafts and savor the products of the land and sea. For their quality, for their freshness, because Canarian cuisine will take you to the skies.
9
Show generosity and kindness to those who welcome you into their homes with open arms.
10
The true merit lies in how you choose to explore the world.
If, as a traveler, you are one of those who applaud upon landing, celebrating the arrival at a new destination, what if, upon departure, the destination applauds you?
Now it’s your turn.
Will you join our ten commandments for ethical and responsible tourism?
Thank you for taking two minutes to share. Believe it or not, with this short form, you’re taking a big step toward continuing to preserve the Different Island.
