Policy Brief for the Canary Islands

This policy brief responds to the initial challenge to diversify its tourism sector identified by the Canary Islands in its application to participate in this initiative. The policy brief is based on a regional summary assessment prepared by a team from ESIC that analysed the potential role that service innovation could play for the region. It also follows a peer review meeting that took place on 18-19 February 2014 in Tenerife, where the regional stakeholders and the peer review panel reviewed the
findings of the summary assessment and outlined the potential ways forward.
