Living in a city based on tourism, I think I can understand the inhabitants of the Canaries but I fear the only possible outcome will be to elevate the offer, skyrocket the prices and become an elitarian destination
One idea is to attract long term visitors like digital workers for hotel stays, to get Less airbnbs and less flights
That means A LOT less money for the locals. Where I live that strategy is used by villages that are dying, unpopolated although beautiful, not by places too visited
