LBRA founder Daniel Trigg talks about the legalisation of Lanzarote's private holiday rental market

Every year the Lanzarote Business and Residents Association takes on different projects. Many of these are related to ideas  that our members suggest, but the LBRA also likes to work on projects related to issues that it feels are important for the island.

One of these projects has been to push for the legalisation of the private holiday rental market in Lanzarote, as private holiday rentals have been considered illegal for years. This project was started by the LBRA back in 2012-2013, and has proved a success so far with amendments made following LBRA efforts. This is an ongoing process though that the LBRA continues to work on.

In the video below, Daniel Trigg, the LBRA founder and president talks about the association's commitment to the legalisation of Lanzarote's private holiday rental market:



As we are sure you can see from this interview, Daniel and the association as a whole feel very strongly about this issue as it affects many of our members. We feel that it is detrimental to Lanzarote as a whole in terms of the economy which in turn affects the island's inhabitants. It also reduces the choice for those coming to stay in Lanzarote as it has created a monopoly controlled by the hotels. We will continue to fight against what we feel is a highly unfair law.


 This video was filmed at the lovely "El Cafe de Manny" at Playa Bastian in Costa Teguise. It is owned and run by the friendly and hard-working Manny who kindly agreed to let us film at the cafe (https://www.facebook.com/elcafedemanny/). Here is Manny below ready to serve some coffee and cake!

Spotlight on talent in Lanzarote: Photographer and Filmmaker Siboney Tabares King

1. How long have you been taking photos and making videos and what first made you interested in them? 

I have been taking photos since I got my first camera when I was about 10! I have always loved the way you can capture one moment of your life and have it forever.


 

2. What makes Lanzarote a good location for those interested in photography/film-making?

 

Lanzarote is a great location for photographing/filming; we have so many different places to photograph! I think that is what makes lanzarote special: you can either photograph a sunny white sand beach, or a not-so-normal black sand beach, or even an out of this world lava field! We have an awesome sky for night time photography too!

La carretera de los sueños.

 

3. Where is your favourite part of Lanzarote for photos/videos?

 

 I love the cliff of  Famara and also Los Hervideros.


Nubes en Famara [Explored]

 

4. Which photo or video that you've made are you most proud of and why? 

 

Well, I think one of my favourite videos is, of course ¨The Unseen Lanzarote¨!





I also love all of my light painting photographs, especially the ones inside caves, like this one:


¿Ángel o Demonio?

 

5. After the success of your amazing video "The Unseen Lanzarote" what have you got planned for 2016?



 I plan ¨The Unseen, part two¨ and also a night time lapse video of the stars!




We would like to say a big thanks to Sibo for taking the time to answer our questions, and for sharing with us his amazing videos and photographs. As you can probably tell Lanzarote is an incredible place to visit or live if you are a photographer or filmmaker.

If you would like to find out more about Sibo's work then make sure to check out his brand new website: sibotk.com/
