Entertainment manager for the Canary Islands

A mission that we achieve thanks to the talent of all those who form part of our teams, whom we train on an ongoing basis, offering them a career in the world of tourist entertainment. At Acttiv we take fun very seriously!

There are paradises… and then there are the Canary Islands. A land of permanent summer, dream beaches and natural parks, these islands are the talk of the town in Spain and the rest of Europe. Its tourist activity is constant and we are not surprised.
