Yeah go back home after trashing hotel's. Binge Drinking. Causing problems on the flight. Fighting. Expecting everyone to speak English. By up, properties that they only use a couple of times a year, hence why there's not enough affordable accommodation for the locals. I could go on.

@@BP-of5cpAnd if you ever read a comment properly and digested the information, you’d know he said “permanent” and not “just passing through” as those people do to the perfectly safe countries of Spain and France.
Poor planning rules and corruption amongst Spanish officials IS NOT THE FAULT OF TOURISTS…..neither is illegal building of properties in protected spaces. Spain has allowed this through its culture of corruption. If tourists left Spain, it would go broke! Spain should clean house first before blaming paying visitors.
The guy from the Canary Islands claiming that people who rent properties through AirBnB and Booking don’t pay tax, doesn’t know what he’s talking about because these companies declare tge income earned by a rented property to the tax authorities. They notify the owner that they have done so but the tax authorities know exactly how much money those properties have waned from being let through their site.
As a good Spaniard, do not pay attention to these people, we Spaniards need tourism, we are nothing without tourism, what we have to worry about more is the replacement that is taking place in Europe, and if I refer to the replacement of race and religion and Islamic traditions, trying to oppress themselves in Christian lands, as is happening in Spain for example
We holiday in the Canaries every year. We try and put plenty of money into the local economy by staying in hotels and using local bars and restaurants.
The problem is the tourists are white not the government should regulate it's industry properly. Notice how the signs say tourists go home! Not Stop building on protected ground!
Oh I’ve no doubt the migrants are a problem but nothing compared to rowdy tourists who feel entitled because they have money in their pocket, get pi$$$ed and cause mayhem.
@@Getonwithit204that's why they have a problem😂😂 begging the gov to stop being corrupt and listen to the public has worked out so far.... no strange that😂😂😂
I have lived in Spain for over 32yrs and it's at its worst it's ever been, too many international private buyers buying up cheap properties and renting out for extortionate prices, locals can't afford to rent on the coast where they work for tourist... Prices have increased 4 fold and locals can only just afford to rent a room for themselves it's terrible, locals are fed up with tourist taking all the properties, anyone who rents in Spain and doesn't have a license will be fined very heavily and the owner will not have access to their property for a min of 3 yrs, accomadation for locals is a very big problem, properties used to be approx 500 a month, now these investors are charging anything from 1500 to 2500 a month, it's got completely out of control.
Not the fault of tourists it's the fault of your corrupt government and local officials. We should boycott Spain and see it become the sh*thole it once was. Spain still hasn't come to terms with all the massacres by Franco in the Civil War, think it needs to get its priorities right and stop blaming tourists who prop up your economy.

@veryhappychappy12 from Canaries: we won't miss you, you can keep your filthy money that stinks like vomit and urine. I've been in England for 7 years, and the most things you could find on the streets after every weekend are traces of fresh vomit and urine, and when they come here they do the same or worse. We want tourism, but not the tourism you brought here for years. We are fed up with your ruckus. What happens? When you go on holidays you forgot your manners behind? Or you brains go on holidays somewhere else? And do you really think people of Greek and Cyprus won't do the same? The problem is not the place, is the visitor. Just bring your manners with you, don't leave them at home.
Ever thought that if we didn't decimate the countries they come from then they wouldn't want to come here - no or course not - we are pure as snow and so righteous - maybe start pointing your blame finger upwards rather than down
Nobody is calling for tourism to end and all foreigners to stay at home. They're saying the numbers are so crazy, and largely driven by Airbnb owners, that it's affecting average rents and property prices, with far fewer available to the local population, and heavily impacting roads and infrastructure. I'm a Brit living in Tenerife and I have to say I completely get their argument, mass tourism has expanded far beyond 'tourist zones' in the south in recent years, and is ruining so many local villages and towns and the Canarian way of life. Meanwhile, local workers just can't afford to rent as they've tripled - quadrupled in some places - in a few short years
Brits and other European countries citizens have contributed an enormous amount to Spains economy for 50 plus years and they’ve been happily milking it ever since. They allowed it and took the money! Do not bite the hand that feeds you Spain, it won’t end well!
OK, do what they want, I think all travel agents should stop selling trips there, and all airlines should cancel flights there. The government should issue travel warnings that Spain and the Canary islands are not safe for travel .
A man from the UK leading/speaking for a Spanish organisation??? Does he not feel that he is part of the problem even if he has moved there. Hypocrisy again.
The problem is lots of places are getting absolutely overrun and spoilt by over tourism. There needs to be a plan of action to stop this from happening. Tourism is supposed to be a healthy thing for both parties but it has changed completely. The governments of these countries need to put some sort of limit on how many tourists can visit.
Tourist licences are going to be cut, no new ones will be given and people that have licences many after 3 yrs will not be able to renew them, illegal tourism who don't have licenses will be fined very heavily and not be able to access their property for a min if 3 yrs... The government is sorting it, but it's not enough, Mallorca have said that if someone buys a property it must be for them to live in and can't be used for tourism, canary will probably be the same as too many purchase and only rent to tourists, the locals are finding it really hard to find a home to live in... This is why the protesters are saying tourist go home, because they can't afford to rent anymore properties that are asking 4 and 5 times the amount that locals earn... It's sad but true.
@@marmar476 I didn't know about the licences. I feel really sorry for the local residents of these tourist hot spots. Yes they generate a lot of income but are now pricing the local population out of their housing stock. I don't blame locals for making a stand and wish them all the best.
@@myrants5836 exactly, this is where tourism is a problem, locals need to work and the work is on the coast, but no where to live, locals born in the areas are being forced out by people buying the properties and renting for 3 times what the Spanish are used to paying, so they can't afford to live now in their own town, it's a terrible situation, I've lived on the coast for over 32yrs have Spanish grown up children and they struggle to find affordable homes to rent, the property market isn't in their reach either 😔 so where everyone says Spain needs tourism, byes they do, but not in the way that everything is now.

So true. Rode across Italy twice in the last two years. I was SHOCKED that the UK tourists were FAR worse than even the Americans. Most were fine, but the ones that weren't, wow...
you are being manipulated very easily. Yes, it is true that in certain areas there are these movements, but the real movements in Spain against illegal immigrants from countries that we all know about. What a coincidence that they try to confront us with countries that do not commit crimes nor are we going to do illegal things to other countries, and on the other hand, those who come to destroy everything are never mentioned. Spain went from being one of the safest countries in the world to the fact that in many areas of the cities where certain people go, people do not dare to go out alone at certain hours.
First off, these protests should be directed at the local governments for allowing building permissions to take place in protected areas. Secondly, restrict the number of flights/cruises coming into the country. Thirdly, don't host any big concerts and famous events that bring in the tourism. It's absolutely disgusting that these organisations (which I'm not saying they are completely wrong) focus on one side of the problem and target only one group, yet we all know that Spain is filling their country (and their islands) up with illegal immigrants and yet it is the tourists that contribute to their economy that they are protesting about? As always there are solutions for these kinds of problems however it is always those who are innocent that get the blame. Another thing...we all know that tax is theft yet when it suits it is used as a weapon for their discontent. No one should be paying taxes for their properties and if they make a profit from what they have acquired. Humanity need to make their minds up of what they want.
Agreed, however, I believe their concern is more centred on striking a balance. In all honesty, the over subscription of tourism has left locals in the negative more than anything. Day to day living including water supply has been disrupted because resources just can't cope. I do believe with the govt suggestions to promote other less visited areas might reduce the pressure without losing the benefits of tourism as a whole. They have also talked about taxes not funnelling down into state coffers because of use of air bnb and the likes meaning all in all what's being made (by the govt) realistically isn't what we think despite the influx. Even locally, its been seen how a sudden surge in population can have disruptive impacts on public services so the same applies across the world. Adjustments are needed.
lol, Spain said Tourism is colonialism, but when Mexico requested by letter to Spain to officially apologize due to the genocide done to Mayas, Aztecas, they got offended. What a “HYPOCRISY”
The British are constantly being lambasted for our old Empire, but the Spanish seem to be getting a free pass for their colonialism in South and Central America.
I seriously don't understand why people flood over there. The UK is a beautiful country but nobody likes to travel to different parts of the UK. If Spain doesn't want our custom any more there are plenty of other places to go. It does seem that the immigrant problem is becoming a huge cash grab now by putting them into the holiday hotels!
Warmer weather plus the original infrastructure of affordable hotels that used to exist in the UK after the war until the mid 80's has all but disappeared - councils allowing once majestic British seaside towns to become run down and rife with crime, and the very real fact that the British pound used to get you almost 2 Peseta's, before the price fixing bullshit of the Euro Zone, essentially doubling your buying power meant UK seasides just couldn't compete, and the few places left like Cornwall and Lake District etc got greedy and pushed prices out of the range of the working class, but Spain WAS affordable thanks to cheap flights from Freddie Laker. It costs more to Fly to Scotland than Italy, and TRIPLE that cost to use a train! That's why.
@@cd0071 Weather is still warmer, you can almost guarentee at least a week or 10 days of dry weather between April and september, still has lots of places to go that are "nicer" than the UK as Spain has retained a significant portion of it's historic architecture and towns - the UK has been a 2nd world country for many decades now, despite our "Green and rainy pleasant land" with pretty farms covered in solar panels or wind towers.
@@rafezetter8003wonderful post, spot on. Rip off Britain is the reason, hotels are outrageously expensive. Staying in a 3 or 4 star hotel for two weeks would cost nigh on 4 grand with half board plus spends. Who would be mad enough to do that with our weather. Last week cost me 147 quid to stay 1 night at HI Express near NEC. it is madness.
@@simonbarber2322@rafezetter8003 the UK is a "2nd world country" in Stockport where you're likely from, but most of the country clearly not. You need to get out more. And England in general is far more beautiful than seedy Spain.
I went to Spain for a holiday when I was young with my parents . I found it very poor I remember shoes very cheap . Look what tourism has given Spain a better life . Look back over the years Spain . We have made you a rich country .
I dont agree with personally having a go at a random individual on this issue, but I have sympathy with the local population who have presumably tried to get local and national government to deal with the challenges being brought by excessive tourism to various regions, feeling their only recourse is to demonstrate in a way that will raise awareness of the problems for the local communities and appeal to individuals to make different holiday choices. Here in the UK we have many beautiful places to holiday that would benefit from more tourism, however, lots of people cannot afford the higher prices of holidaying here.
When I go on holiday i always always respect the locals. I don’t party late into the night. I don’t leave security lights on all night. I don’t let the kids scream and play ballgames in front of locals cottages. I don’t arrive at 2am in the morning or leave at 4am. I don’t throw fag butts everywhere and I don’t trash the places I stay in. If I wanted to do any of the above I would go to Butlins or a caravan site.
Then stop giving Spain huge subsidies from the EU. Then you have to fend for yourself. Then don't come and cry when you have no money. What besides tourism does Spain have to offer??

And other thing, you know PIB from spain in tourism is less than 13%, and almost all come from other countries, the britian are less than 10% of that. And by the way, since you're talking, do you know how much it costs Spain for all the drunk tourists who go to the hospital, do they have to go by ambulance or do they have free surgery in Spain? Not to mention the number of British retirees who have been coming to Spain for years to receive free medications and operations. If we do a balance, don't think that Spain loses a lot

It's absolutely disgusting that these organisations (which I'm not saying they are completely wrong) focus on one side of the problem and target only one group, yet we all know that Spain is filling their country (and their islands) up with illegal immigrants and yet it is the tourists that contribute to their economy that they are protesting about? As always there are solutions for these kinds of problems however it is always those who are innocent that get the blame. Another thing...we all know that tax is theft yet when it suits it is used as a weapon for their discontent. No one should be paying taxes for their properties and if they make a profit from what they have acquired. Humanity need to make their minds up of what they want.
Spain don't need tourists anymore 😂 they have the refugees ♥️
No tourists , no money you muppets.
Agreed, however, I believe their concern is more centred on striking a balance. In all honesty, the over subscription of tourism has left locals in the negative more than anything. Day to day living including water supply has been disrupted because resources just can't cope. I do believe with the govt suggestions to promote other less visited areas might reduce the pressure without losing the benefits of tourism as a whole. They have also talked about taxes not funnelling down into state coffers because of use of air bnb and the likes meaning all in all what's being made (by the govt) realistically isn't what we think despite the influx. Even locally, its been seen how a sudden surge in population can have disruptive impacts on public services so the same applies across the world. Adjustments are needed.
lol, Spain said Tourism is colonialism, but when Mexico requested by letter to Spain to officially apologize due to the genocide done to Mayas, Aztecas, they got offended. What a “HYPOCRISY”
The British are constantly being lambasted for our old Empire, but the Spanish seem to be getting a free pass for their colonialism in South and Central America.
I’m English, I like Spain, but if they don’t want visitors that’s up to them! I understand completely
Is that a tourist telling us tourists arnt welcome 😮
A British guy is one of the main organiser's of the protests? 😂😂😂 These Brexiteers have forgotten their borders.
Take your money elsewhare, Portugal is a lovely place.
I don't think Portugal wants their housing prices to go up either
I seriously don't understand why people flood over there. The UK is a beautiful country but nobody likes to travel to different parts of the UK.
If Spain doesn't want our custom any more there are plenty of other places to go. It does seem that the immigrant problem is becoming a huge cash grab now by putting them into the holiday hotels!
Warmer weather plus the original infrastructure of affordable hotels that used to exist in the UK after the war until the mid 80's has all but disappeared - councils allowing once majestic British seaside towns to become run down and rife with crime, and the very real fact that the British pound used to get you almost 2 Peseta's, before the price fixing bullshit of the Euro Zone, essentially doubling your buying power meant UK seasides just couldn't compete, and the few places left like Cornwall and Lake District etc got greedy and pushed prices out of the range of the working class, but Spain WAS affordable thanks to cheap flights from Freddie Laker. It costs more to Fly to Scotland than Italy, and TRIPLE that cost to use a train!
That's why.
@@rafezetter8003 Spain might of been back in the 90's, but it certainly isn't now.
@@cd0071 Weather is still warmer, you can almost guarentee at least a week or 10 days of dry weather between April and september, still has lots of places to go that are "nicer" than the UK as Spain has retained a significant portion of it's historic architecture and towns - the UK has been a 2nd world country for many decades now, despite our "Green and rainy pleasant land" with pretty farms covered in solar panels or wind towers.
@@rafezetter8003wonderful post, spot on. Rip off Britain is the reason, hotels are outrageously expensive. Staying in a 3 or 4 star hotel for two weeks would cost nigh on 4 grand with half board plus spends. Who would be mad enough to do that with our weather. Last week cost me 147 quid to stay 1 night at HI Express near NEC. it is madness.
@@simonbarber2322@rafezetter8003 the UK is a "2nd world country" in Stockport where you're likely from, but most of the country clearly not. You need to get out more. And England in general is far more beautiful than seedy Spain.
Spain with that French attitude
I went to Spain for a holiday when I was young with my parents . I found it very poor I remember shoes very cheap . Look what tourism has given Spain a better life . Look back over the years Spain . We have made you a rich country .
I suggest all tourist stay away
Fun Fact: The 'local'' population of Tenerife has doubled since 1960. Maybe they should go home too.
Blame the capitalists ! The locals should have affordable housing.
As of April 2024, the youth unemployment in Spain stands at 26.5%
Spain will fail without tourism. I won't go back to Spain anymore.
Portugal is better anyway
@@ivanexell-uz4mv The Portuguese don't want housing prices to go up either
Just go somewhere thats nice instead 😂
The problem always is the politicians, the people paying for their mistakes.( Tourists and citizens)
This makes no sense, I have had many holidays in Spain and was always been very welcome, something else is behind these protests.
Brilliant discussion
Love GB News
A tourism based economy demanding cracking down on tourism lol....
You very inept in economy the GdP of Spain is 12'5% the UK is 11% in this terms UK economy Crash without tourism 😂
@@Benito-lr8mz that’s even more embarassing for Spain tbh 😂
Fair enough, I am happy to go elsewhere and support the Spanish protesters 😂
All extremes are dangerous. When shall we learn that lesson?
Fine by me. The peoples of Europe should be able to tell anyone who’s not an indiginous native to leave and their governments should back them.
For a island where 35% of GDP comes from tourists and 40% of the population works in tourism, it seems a weird thing to protest against 🤔
Spain has a major serious water problem which is not being addressed plus parts of the country have become barren
Tatiana Sanchez is ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
We can't even tell illegal immigrants to go home!
They don't have a home?
What about the changes made by people landing in the uk?
Remember visiting Spain in the early 1970's.....hardly anything there before tourism. Tourism built Spain.
It's all technology nowadays.
Spain knows the consequences of tourism.
Latin america?
When they rely on tourism...😂😂😂
Tourists go home but leave your wallets behind.
I dont agree with personally having a go at a random individual on this issue, but I have sympathy with the local population who have presumably tried to get local and national government to deal with the challenges being brought by excessive tourism to various regions, feeling their only recourse is to demonstrate in a way that will raise awareness of the problems for the local communities and appeal to individuals to make different holiday choices.
Here in the UK we have many beautiful places to holiday that would benefit from more tourism, however, lots of people cannot afford the higher prices of holidaying here.
Isn't this inevitable though whilst you maintain a freedom of movement policy in a holiday destination country?
Other places to visit, lack of tourism equals lack of money into their communities. Spain is never on my to go to list when choosing a holiday anyway
Don’t want tourists in Cornwall either. They’ve ruined it.
I won't ever go there then
But hopefully you won't be an absolute hypocrite and tour ANYWHERE out of Cornwall aye
@@damianstrohman6702 go out of season when the kids are at school.
When I go on holiday i always always respect the locals.
I don’t party late into the night. I don’t leave security lights on all night. I don’t let the kids scream and play ballgames in front of locals cottages. I don’t arrive at 2am in the morning or leave at 4am. I don’t throw fag butts everywhere and I don’t trash the places I stay in. If I wanted to do any of the above I would go to Butlins or a caravan site.
Cornwall is part of the British isles , our country!!! We have a right to travel anywhere we want in our own country country!!
No tourists will cripple Spain’s economy.
The liberals support this but as soon as you change the word 'tourist' for immigration, suddenly all the excuses come out.
If Spain don’t want you don’t go. Spend the money in the UK.
Indeed we live in a clown world
Because you now know how it feels to be a immigrant
Then stop giving Spain huge subsidies from the EU. Then you have to fend for yourself. Then don't come and cry when you have no money. What besides tourism does Spain have to offer??
you are being manipulated very easily.
Yes, it is true that in certain areas there are these movements, but the real movements in Spain against illegal immigrants from countries that we all know about.
What a coincidence that they try to confront us with countries that do not commit crimes nor are we going to do illegal things to other countries, and on the other hand, those who come to destroy everything are never mentioned.
Spain went from being one of the safest countries in the world to the fact that in many areas of the cities where certain people go, people do not dare to go out alone at certain hours.
And other thing, you know PIB from spain in tourism is less than 13%, and almost all come from other countries, the britian are less than 10% of that. And by the way, since you're talking, do you know how much it costs Spain for all the drunk tourists who go to the hospital, do they have to go by ambulance or do they have free surgery in Spain? Not to mention the number of British retirees who have been coming to Spain for years to receive free medications and operations.
If we do a balance, don't think that Spain loses a lot
Good lord, are they stupid enough not to realize its not the tourists coming to visit that are creating all these problems?
Imagine wanting to ban people bringing money in to your economy.
They'll be much better of with dinghy arrivals 🙄😜

Immigrants in the uk
Now you know how those dingy feel
We went to benidorm in September and there was a friendly atmosphere and we must spend hundreds of millions in the mainland and the many islands.
Don’t blame the tourists, blame your islands inability to invest in infrastructure. You gladly take the money, then you should invest in your island better.
Just don't go there if there concerned. Treating tourist that way is awful.
So they dont want our money. Got it
Spain for Spaniards!
Brits and other tourists are welcome but need to be regulated.
No worries, I have no desire to visit Spain any time soon . There are many other places where I am actually welcome.
I live in the canary’s and have not seen any protests!
The powers that be, just getting rid of your holidays.
She right.
Go home tourists!
Protect the environment!
What does he think it like in the UK what a hypocrite 😢
Good on them, if its impacting that badly on the locals something has to be sorted. Its reasonable.
They have a right to protest it.
So that's Spain and Barbados to avoid! Anymore??
