Fuerteventura will present the VISOR project at a European conference in March 2027. Developed by MNX Online, VISOR integrates environmental, territorial, and tourism data to generate useful information that supports territory management and enhances the resilience of tourist destinations.
This project stands out as the only initiative from the Canary Islands selected in the European PHOENIX 4.0 programme, achieving the second highest score nationally among 176 proposals.
The PHOENIX 4.0 conference is scheduled for 4 and 5 March 2027 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where advancements and results from the VISOR project will be presented. Marlene Figueroa, the Tourism Councillor for the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, emphasised that this recognition highlights the island's capacity to engage in European programmes aimed at transforming tourism.
VISOR has secured funding of €25,000 and aims to consolidate information currently scattered across various sources and organisations into indicators that enhance understanding of the territory and support decisions related to flow management and sustainability.
Tony Gallardo, the Managing Director of the Fuerteventura Biosphere Reserve, underscored the importance of interpreting data with a thorough understanding of the territory to aid in the island's management and resilience.
The presentation in Ljubljana marks a significant milestone in the development and international projection of VISOR, which was previously showcased at the FIWARE Global Summit in Menton, France. Participation in the Ljubljana conference will provide an opportunity to demonstrate the project's evolution and explore potential avenues for continuity and application in other regions, reinforcing Fuerteventura's status as an innovative territory in tourism management.
