Poema del Mar<\/a> begins its construction works today. The \u201cfirst stone\u201d ceremony took place in the Sanap\u00fa Pier, lead by the Kiessling family, owners of the company Loro Parque in Tenerife and to which this new project will be a part of. Also family members, collaborators and tourism representatives together with authorities and friends were part of the event.<\/p>\n

After the Kiessling family laid the first stone, Christoph Kiessling, vicepresident of Loro Parque welcomed everyone and presented the project\u2019s progress and some details of the construction. The president of Loro Parque, Wolfgang Kiessling, emphasised the importance of the project as a clear bet towards expanding the company; which has existed in Tenerife for more than 42 years and has always seen the Canary Islands as a unique region. \u201cThe love for nature has no boundaries and the water helps us to defend it\u201d, he stated. <\/p>\n

Throughout its history, Loro Parque has become, along with Siam Park in Tenerife, one of the most acclaimed tourist entities on the island and a \u201cmust\u201d visit in the Canary Islands. In fact, both have been awarded recently by Tripadvisor: Loro Parque as the N\u00ba1 Zoo in Europe and third in the world, and Siam Park as the N\u00ba1 water park in the world.<\/p>\n

Poema del Mar<\/a> is created with the objective to complement the activity in the port of Las Palmas and to boost the tourist\u2019s activity in the city, contributing to raise the number of visitors to the island and help consolidate the cruise ship segment to an international level. With this goal, it will not only benefit the activity in the port, but also all the activities and services that surround the cruise industry, the employment and tourism. This will improve the existing activities as well as contribute to the implementation of new ones.<\/p>\n

With a constructed surface of 12.519 square metres and 7.509 millions of litres of salty and sweet water, Poema del Mar<\/a> will be one of the most modern and spectacular aquariums of the world. Poema del Mar has the objective of becoming a referenced centre for the conservation and awareness of the marine species. <\/p>\n
