During the inauguration of an information office in La Laguna, Eloy Santiago, accompanied by Yago de la Cierva, national coordinator for the papal visit in Spain, sought to dispel any doubts regarding the destination of the resources. The bishop emphasized that the money would not go to the Pontiff or the bishopric, but would remain in the archipelago to directly benefit Canarian society.

Santiago explained that donations and contributions from companies and public administrations would cover the event's organization and generate economic activity. He stressed that this is not about paying a "fee," as would happen with other major events, but rather an investment that will stay in the Canary Islands, allowing for staff hiring and the mobilization of services associated with the visit.

In addition to the economic impact, Pope Leo XIV's visit, scheduled for June 12, aims to place the Canary Islands in the international spotlight, enhancing its global projection. The bishop highlighted that the event will have religious, economic, and social dimensions, benefiting local businesses and workers. Should any economic surplus remain after covering expenses, it will be dedicated to opening a day center for homeless people in La Laguna.
