Pioneer in fast communication!

Baobab Domains equals "5 star living", also with respect to communication! Through an efficient network of fiber optic cable, a complex set of internet, telephone and TV will be offered. Both free calls with VOIP (Voice over IP) and open telephone lines to the home front, as a permanent connection to a server will be made possible. Furthermore we will offer a quick and secure WIFI of the latest generation, very user friendly towards the tenants! Baobab Domains as a "second home" has all the amenities to provide the main TV channels from your home country. The fiber optic solution which we have chosen will be adaptable to all future developments on TV streaming so Baobab Domains will always be ahead of time without major adjustment costs.

In terms of high-speed connections, the Government of Tenerife aims for a strong progress, a great help to us! Two weeks ago, a new fiber optic cable CanaLink was landed in Granadilla (Tenerife South). That cable will ensure that within a few months, Internet access on the island speeds up to 50 or even 100MB. Moreover, the same cable will undoubtedly attract additional suppliers, which in the long run will make prices more competitive, and of course, that also benefits the Baobab Domains customers!

Editorial May

Tourism in Tenerife keeps getting better, so the services towards tourists are also constantly expanded. One example is the launch in June of an "Foreign Tourist Service' within the police station of Costa Adeje. The service is primarily designed for travelers who do not speak Spanish and will be available daily from 9am to 2pm. We are very pleased that foreign visitors are increasingly taken into account when it comes to provision of services on the island! Local governments understand very well that we should cherish the increased tourism and turn this positive trend into a sustainable form of quality tourism. 

Recently, moreover, new figures were released by the Cabildo de Tenerife on tourism in Tenerife, and I am proud to announce that Costa Adeje turns out to be the most popular destination on Tenerife, and even occupies the second place within the Canary Islands! This prestigious area, where also Baobab Domains is located, has increased by no less than 9.2% during the first two months of 2011 compared to last year. Within the sector, according to the Tourism Councillor of Adeje, especially the five star hotels are doing very well, they scored an increase of 12.2%. Given the fact that Baobab Domains is a 'star' within the area, this gives us great confidence that we will be able to exceed our profitability forecasts.

Therefore, an overview of the various festivals and concerts.

To visualize the progress on the construction site remains an important factor. The webcam will still show the structure of the Akamai block, but it cannot show you the progress made inside the building.

So we took a walk around the site yesterday and took some photos again, which we uploaded onto our website today! And we have more good news, soon we will also upload some short videos! From now on, the idea is to walk through the site at least once a month so you will have more than only pictures to follow the construction! To be continued ....

Lifestyle: Gastronomy

In recent bulletins we have already talked about shopping, wellness, and also the range of possibilities with respect to sports have been discussed. According to us, however, there is still an important part to be mentioned in terms of 'Lifestyle ', i.e. gastronomy.

We do not intend to give any reviews about certain restaurants, etc. but we do would like to offer you further information on the authentic and typical Canary cuisine. And to get started, we refer to the following pages:
