Revamping Tenerife South Airport: A Call for Modernized Bidding
Ashotel urges Aena to update the bidding process for Tenerife South Airport's renovation to align with current economic conditions.
Ashotel, representing the hotel industry in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is urging Aena to revise the bidding criteria for the renovation of Tenerife South Airport. The previous attempt to secure bids was unsuccessful, attributed to outdated economic assumptions.
Jorge Marichal, Ashotel’s president, highlights the impact of rising prices and global geopolitical shifts, which render past criteria ineffective. He calls for immediate updates to the financial and technical conditions to attract construction firms and expedite the project.
The renovation of Tenerife South Airport is deemed crucial, with Marichal emphasizing the need to avoid further delays in enhancing the terminal’s operational capabilities and securing necessary funding.
Aena’s president, Maurici Lucena, acknowledges the lack of offers for the airport’s renovation but remains optimistic, suggesting that the situation is manageable despite the absence of bids.
The call for updated bidding criteria for Tenerife South Airport's renovation highlights the importance of adapting to current economic realities. Investors should be aware that infrastructure improvements can significantly enhance property values and tourism appeal in the region. Staying informed about such developments is crucial for making strategic investment decisions in Tenerife.
