B5) If we accept that five million visitors is just about or above saturation point for the island, beyond which diminishing returns set in, then it appears difficult to justify the construction of a second runway at airport south!
Streamlining of services, continuous professional training at all levels together with the implementation of Operations Research techniques (at both airports) should prove sufficient to cater for any occasional peaks! Perhaps instead we should consider the creation of a third level educational facility in (say) Adeje. This business school, this embryonic university, this research and development centre, should ideally have some link with Harvard or Princeton thus ensuring world-class prestige and standards. Its brief should be to design and implement courses such that graduates would emerge every four years or so with an entrepreneurial instinct oriented towards self-employment and indeed employment creation. Certainly they should be ready to successfully seek senior executive positions at home or overseas. Such courses, it is reasonable to assume, would have in their ingredient mix languages, (including English) marketing and information technology. We are talking about a centre of business excellence with our future leadership being educated rather than being taught. Perhaps we already have the foundation for this school of excellence in Adeje with CDTCA!
Shifting the Car Ferry facility from Los Cristianos to Fonsalia would appear to make sense both from the operators’ viewpoint and from the point of view of the business sector in Los Cristianos. The town appears to gain little from this activity and it may be more beneficial for it to develop and grow as a recreational port with much reduced ‘heavy’ traffic!
