Hotels! Hotels have seen massive profits in the past few years, partly due to the fancy tourists they're now seeing lol :P

Other than that.... not really many hiring, other than those catering more upmarket. Because of tax reasons, small businesses in Tenerife are struggling to find the money to hire extra staff - it can even cost up 80% of that person's wage in taxes, in some cases. So if you're looking to be hired, I would look into hiring opportunities of bigger companies surrounding the upscale tourist trade - hotels staff, theme park staff etc are probably your best best. If you have the money though, I would look into running a business of your own - a new type of tourist brings a new type of opportunity - cost is low but possible future returns are tremendous.

Best wishes!
