Anti-Tourism Protests

Anti-tourism protests are gaining momentum in Spain’s Canary Islands as local activists plan demonstrations across all eight islands. The movement is driven by growing concerns over the negative effects of mass tourism, including rising housing prices, lack of accessibility for locals, and environmental degradation. Organizers are urging residents to join in and raise their voices against the unchecked expansion of tourism that they say is harming both the environment and the quality of life for islanders. The protests highlight a growing call for sustainable tourism models that prioritize the well-being of local communities and natural resources over profit – thesun.ie
