The Canary Islands tourism minister has pleaded with British holidaymakers not to cancel their holidays despite anti-tourism protests set to take place.
Locals have voiced their outrage in recent weeks over water usage, a lack of housing and pollution across the islands - and have blamed the issues on over tourism. Messages of 'go home' have been written in graffiti across walls, leaving some feeling unwelcome in the region. But despite the recent outbreak of anti-tourism rhetoric in the area, the regional tourism chief Jessica de León has stressed that the islands are still open for business.
They allege that the tourism industry is behind the increasing rents and a lack of homes, as landlords snap up Airbnbs and tourist lets. Last week, some activists went on a hunger strike in protest of the effects of mass tourism on island life. The activists said they wanted the authorities to halt two tourist projects, one over the construction of a five-star hotel by one of Tenerife’s remaining virgin beaches called La Tejita.
