Those loy­al tourists who love to spend their holidays in the north of the island were recently awarded with a Loyalty Award by the Northern tourism as­sociation C.I.T. Most not only spend their holiday in Puerto de la Cruz every year (or more than once a year), but also tend to stay in the same hotel every time they visit. 

Puerto’s mayor Lola Padrón in­vited a group of loyal guests to the town hall in order to thank them. 17 Britons, 19 Germans, and two each from Sweden, France, Belgium and Switzerland accepted the invitation, together with the director of each hotel the guests are cur­rently booked in. Some of the awarded guests have been returning to Tenerife for more than 35 years. This also is re­flected by statistics which show that most tourists visiting the north tend to be repeaters. “Today and for always we offer you a second home and thank you for spending your holidays with us” said mayor Padrón. She also thanked the hotel direc­tors as well as their ho­tels’ staff for their good and professional work that makes people want to come back over and over again. “We have been coming here for 20 years in a row” German Mrs. Mundt explained. “My mother and I always come here for Easter and only when we celebrated my mother’s 90 th birthday we came in November in­stead. It is so nice to leave cold Germany and come here, where it is warm. And everything is blos­soming. Whenever we arrive at the Tigaiga ho­tel we feel like arriving at home.”
