Tourists in the Canary Islands have been warned that the holiday destination has ‘reached its limit’ and should not be treated ‘like a theme park’ as thousands of protestors descended upon holidaymakers on Sunday, October 20.

Demonstrators even took to the beaches in Tenerife in the latest protests organised by anti-tourism movements. According to local news site Europa Press, “at least 8,000” people gathered in Tenerife and Gran Canaria over the weekend.

The demonstrations were organised by the platform ‘Canary Islands has a limit’ which calls for more sustainable tourism models to be implemented.

Protestors have raised concerns over the impact of mass-tourism across the Canary Islands, a longstanding holiday destination among Brits and other European visitors.
