'We are out there in a couple of weeks so stay tuned for all the summery content. So let’s begin the new SPAIN series.'Despite Spain being a welcome destination for Brits looking for holidays abroad, or a more permanent home, in recent years tourists have faced backlash from locals.This is despite Canary Island officials warning residents that 'tourismphobia' could cause a slump in the islands' economy - which has grown heavily dependent on the 16million tourists who visit annually.The Canary Islands, which are as popular for holidaying Brits as the Spanish mainland, have seen an explosion in anti-tourism protests in recent years.In July 2024, 200,000 people took to the streets of Tenerife to demonstrate against tourism.The protests, organised by various groups including 'Friends of Nature of Tenerife (ATAN)' aimed to discourage foreign holidaymakers while also compelling councils to introduce new legislation aimed at protecting the islands from the effects of an ever-expanding tourism industry.The rise in opposition to tourism prompted Jet 2's CEO to warn the Canary Islands to stop playing a 'dangerous game' and end the ongoing anti-tourism protests in Spain before holidaymakers take their money elsewhere.Steve Heapy issued the alert at Spain's International Tourism Trade Fair in January, saying: 'Anti-tourism protests and derogatory comments from local administrations make tourists feel unwelcome.'People don't come to the Canaries to be mistreated or to witness protests'.Last year, Spain also launched plans to impose a 100 per cent tax on non-EU citizens buying homes in the country as it moves to prioritise housing availability for locals.
