Thousands of people have been protesting across the Canary Islands against tourism. Claims have been made it's not sustainable and has a damaging effect on the environment and locals lives.
Canary Islands officials are considering a suggested €3pn charge for tourists. Similar daily 'tourist taxes' are already in place in Majorca, Minorca and IbizaBritish holidaymakers could soon be slapped with a daily 'tourist tax' when visiting the Canary Islands, local authorities have warned.
Clavijo's remark comes as locals are demanding that authorities axe several major tourism projects in Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands. Demonstrators said changes must be made to the tourism industry that accounts for 35 per cent of gross domestic product in the Canary Islands archipelago
Smaller marches were held elsewhere in the island group and other Spanish cities, all of them organised by about two dozen environmental organisations ahead of the peak summer holiday season. One female protestor at the march held up a sign which read: 'Fourteen million tourists a year but 36 per cent of Canarians at risk of poverty.'
Canary Islanders took to the streets of the Atlantic archipelago today to protest against the problems caused by mass tourism A nurse at the scene said: 'The data is very alarming, continuing the strike could lead to irreparable neurological damage and even death.' Speaking to the Daily Express, she said that you had to learn English at school with lessons like Maths even being taught in the language because 'you have to know English because we rely on tourism and to stay safe'.
Protests also got underway at the same time in the other islands in the archipelago, including Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, with support demos scheduled for the Spanish mainland in cities like Malaga and Madrid as well as London and Berlin.
