The mayoress of Tuineje, Esther Hernández, has received at the Town Hall representatives of the company that promotes the construction of a hotel and apartments in the area of ​​El Aceitún, in Gran Tarajal on two plots totaling 50,000 square meters and listed in planning for hotel and non-hotel use.

In total, the creation of some 1,000 accommodation places is expected, which would provide a boost to the hotel offer in the municipality of Tuineje, "which has been stagnant for decades," according to Mayor Esther Hernández.

"This type of facility not only contributes to generating economy through the tourist activity itself, but also allows the creation of jobs," highlights Hernández. Forecasts suggest that these establishments could create just over 200 direct jobs.

First Lieutenant Rita Díaz and the Councilor for Tourism, Nélida Padilla, also participated in the meeting with Javier Granados, administrator of the promoting company, and the architect José Manuel Alastuéy. The estimates of the promoters place the investment at approximately 80 million euros.

The meeting has served to know the details of the project and to analyze at a technical level and in a preliminary way that the project conforms to the municipal planning. The promoters are right now in the final phase of drafting the basic construction projects in order to request the construction license from the City Council.

Rita Díaz points out that "this type of private project is what the municipality of Tuineje needs, to help diversify the economy and create jobs here."

For her part, the Councilor for Tourism, Nélida Padilla, points out that "with this project Tuineje would reinforce its tourist weight and we could intensify the promotion of the municipality because we will have more capacity to receive more tourism."
