Fury as thousands of anti-tourism protesters storm Canary Islands beach packed with sunbathing Britons
Noisy anti-tourism protesters who stormed a beach packed with British holidaymakers sparked anger over their actions. Flag-waving local residents beat drums and blew whistles as they wandered among sunbathers along the shoreline in Playa de las Americas, Tenerife on Sunday. One carried a poster which read: “Tourists, go f***ing home.”
Anti-tourism protests in Canary Islands
The protests, held on the popular tourist destination islands of Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and El Hierro, call for changes to how the tourism industry operates in the archipelago. At least 8,000 people are believed to have participated in the demonstrations, some of which were near major tourist hotspots.
