description In this paper we study the Biosphere Reserve on the island of La Palma and the dynamics of new tourist uses that are being implemented in order to reflect on the development model involved. The study consists of a brief diagnosis of the main features of the territorial model of the island. Subsequently, we analyze the case of the Biosphere Reserve of La Isla Bonita, their characteristics and objectives. Finally, we analyze the tourist model which is being implemented from the planning instruments in order to assess their level of sustainability and adaptation to the principles of the Reserve. The sources consulted were the reports of the Biosphere Reserve, territorial planning documents of the island, rural development associations, the rural development departments of some municipalities and the regional ministries of tourism and agriculture of the Cabildo of La Palma and Government of The Canary Islands.
