New landscape created by La Palma eruption features prominently in Canary Islands action to celebrate Earth Day

For the fifth consecutive year we’re celebrating Earth Day with a carefully crafted audiovisual production showing the beautiful, unique landscapes of the eight Canary Islands, including stunning footage of the new area created by the La Palma Cumbre Vieja eruption. Through this video we aim to impact 5.2 million people, targeting internet users who are particularly interested in environmental issues and nature tourism.

Earth Day, held on 22 April, has become the perfect excuse for showcasing the natural spaces of the Canary Islands, which have been recently enhanced with the newly created volcanic environment in La Palma. The new landscape is destined to become a major tourist attraction and will help to boost the economic recovery of the Beautiful Island.

The celebration of this event reinforces the role of the Canary Islands brand in championing the region and its unique landscapes - the outstanding natural attractions of our destination. Through the Earth Day action, we aim to ensure this idea takes root in the minds of our tourists and potential visitors.
