At present, the CIT Tedote is responsible for the management of the Tourist Offices in El Paso, Los Cancajos, Los Llanos de Aridane and Puerto Naos, where you can display leaflets and visiting cards of your business or establishment. At these offices, consumer satisfaction surveys are carried out to ascertain the island’s weak points, and the interests and demands of visitors. The results are passed on to the parties concerned, so that appropriate action can be taken.
