Following a string of recently deployed emergency operations, Canary Islands officials are calling out tourists for ignoring safety advisories<\/a> \u2014 and even floating a possible fine for visitors.<\/p>\n

Emergency rescues and searches come with “a price,” said Fernando Figuereo, general director of emergencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, “The emergency is not free,” according to Spanish paper El Diario.<\/p>\n

He said the use of a rescue helicopter for an hour can cost over $2,000.<\/p>\n

“We understand that the reckless person has to pay it. It is not about punishing someone who has suffered a fall, but rather recklessness,” Figuereo reportedly said at a press conference on Feb. 10.<\/p>\n

Figuereo cited an example of visitors who ignore red flags on beaches<\/a> \u2014 leading to a water accident as a result.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We want the Canary Islands Police, which is being implemented on all islands, to be a participant so that they register the rescued person if negligence is proven,” he said.<\/p>\n

The government is working on drafting new edits to the Civil Protection and Emergencies law.<\/p>\n

In January, a 23-year-old tourist was left in critical condition<\/a> after falling in a hard-to-reach area while hiking on the Los Gigantes cliffs, according to “Guide to the Canary Islands.”<\/p>\n

The same outlet also reported the recovery of the body of a missing tourist<\/a> off southern Lanzarote. Tourists from the same group were found nearby.<\/p>\n

Dive teams, firefighters, a helicopter, maritime rescue resources and police ultimately rescued the three other tourists, according to “Guide to the Canary Islands.”<\/p>\n

The men were reportedly students in Madrid who had visited the area together. They had walked into the area despite a road closure barrier.<\/p>\n
