'We aren't that bad! Brits are on the whole very well-behaved.'
Travel Journalist Cathy Adams reacts to the head of the Lanzarote's local government wanting to move away from having Brits as primary tourists in favour of 'higher quality' visitors from Germany.

Just come back from Lanzarote and the local business owners are very much against it as are the local workers. The British and Irish tourists are far bigger spenders than the Germans and they don't tip well. The woman behind this move will probably be ousted at the next election.

Generally places that try to concentrate on high end tourism regret it because there aren't enough high end customers. Germans will go where they choose to go whatever Lanzarote does. If Brits (and Irish are very similar) are discouraged, they'll go elsewhere.

Having been to Lanzarote many times, when you are walking around, it’s impossible to distinguish between British and German tourists until you hear them speak. They look the same and generally behave the same. And how the government on Lanzarote have somehow decided that the Germans spend more money, I have no idea.

Why say they are being banned when there is no such mention??? As a British resident in Tenerife I have to accept that a lot of the problematic tourists are young Brits who feel that the only way to 'enjoy' themselves is to get totally drunk and loudmouth the locals and many ending up at the police station or even in hospital. Reputations are earned and these booze holiday makers will definitely not be missed if they stay away. Having said that many British holiday makers are very welcome indeed it's a question of behaviour not nationality.

My self and young daughter walked down the beach one day and some fat pig right in front of us spun around and threw himself on the sand, cocking his leg up and looked directly at us with this smirk on his face. It was revolting and I’d never go back there. And the, allegedly’ 4* hotel was definitely NOT 4*. The rooms were clean but the restaurant and bars were filthy, especially the glasses.

They’ll be sorry the Germans aren’t big spenders whereas the Brits are.
Over the last few years (either side of the Covid travel ban) I've been to Lanzarote and it has been one of my favourite places to return to. I always stay in the same place in Puerto Del Carmen and always go out of season when it is cheaper and probably less crowded. I have never witnessed any tourist trouble, Brits or other nationalities (Irish, Scandinavians, Spanish & other Europeans), maybe because it wasn't high season but certainly there have been plenty of tourists of all social classes all of whom were well-behaved and friendly. Possibly out of season favours older travellers but there have been plenty of youngsters too. Wanting to change, and actually changing are two different things completely. It will be interesting to see if any legislation gets passed and how it can be enforced.
I didn't know Germans like to holiday since they never seem to like to have fun. There was a study years ago listing Germans as the unhappiest bunch even when having sex.
If brits do the same to migrants coming to uk we get called raciest for not wanting them but if lanzarote do it it’s fine
We frequently visit the Canaries and it’s lovely especially in the winter, but we do tend to go to places that not many brits visit, probably for the same reasons Lanzarote wants to rebalance it’s holiday market.

Since when was Lanzarote in the Mediteranian ?
I stopped going to Spain because of the vaccine mandates. Then as soon has Spain realised they were getting no tourists and no money they lifted the mandates like magic.

A superpower is a nation that has the ability to extend commanding power and worldwide impact over others and that needs exceeding in various areas of power projection like technological, economic, “soft” e.g., cultural, political, and military, and China is rising as a robust competitor for the position. Since WWII, the USA has been the world’s superpower. Now China is anticipated to take over as a superpower, as its financial, technological, military, and political impact keeps on growing. China as a state has an enthralling and complex history which was molded by its inclusion in the harmonious act and furthermore warlike act. China has encountered a period of harmony, war, and favorable trade with its neighboring nations. China has confronted extremely turbulent times in history and also faced periods of isolation yet after the creation of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, it endeavored to revitalize itself and afterward it continues to rise through the policies and strategies of Chinese leaders. Like Under Mao, China was prospering in turning out to be independent in almost all assets and technologies. Deng Xiaoping started various reforms and opening up programs that drastically changed China. He energized worldwide trade and permitted foreign capital investment which brought about China’s remarkable entrance into world markets and a flourishing economy. All Chinese leadership put forth attempts to strengthen China so as to compete with the world by concentrating on monetary, military, cultural, and scientific development. China has been successful in emerging as a worldwide power through the endeavors and arrangements of Chinese pioneers and now there are the possibilities of China to turn into the following superpower of the world because of its potential and of the phenomenal progress and supremacy it is making in the international arena. There have been prospects for China to be the next superpower. As China has amazingly risen in the last three decades and has altered itself isolated society into a confident, succeeding worldwide trading power so now China is enhancing its power and financial impact over the remainder of the world. As in 1978, China positioned number twenty third in world exchange. By 2006, China was the third biggest trading state in both imports and exports and now it is the world’s top exporting and exchanging state and an enormous investor in the USA. China had minimal FDI’s before 1992 yet it has been favorable in the most recent three decades under monetary reform and an approach of openness and the smooth change to a mixed economy. Presently, it has been contending with the USA as the world’s biggest host of foreign capital. After quite a prolonged period of extraordinary economic development, China is currently the world’s second-biggest economy on account of the potential role played by China as the fasters developing economy in the world and there are possibilities that sooner it will surpass the USA. It is positioned third in number as far as military strength is concerned. It is concentrating to flourish its military ability, propelling military technology, training the troops, and building more air crafts, etc so as to compete for the USA. China’s defense expenditure has ascended from $19 billion in 1989 to $252 billion in 2020. Its maritime power is increasing quickly as well. By focusing on missile technology and attack submarines, China has had the choice to adjust the balance of forces with the USA at moderate ease. China’s military extension has caused tension inside western states and has been added in those nation’s list which has large military force due to the number of nuclear weapons it had which cause China to further grow militarily. China is expected to be the next superpower as it is also enhancing its soft power e.g., cultural and political around the world. The number of Chinese diplomats is enhancing that would further advance the nation’s messages and interests abroad. As Xi Jinping came to control, the spending on foreign affairs has increased. China’s influence has been extended worldwide by helping the developing or the third world states by giving loans and aid for infrastructure advancement, clinical assistance and in times of emergency e.g., humanitarian crisis, etc. China is likewise advancing its way of life around the world. Confucius institutes have been built around the world that teaches the Chinese language and culture. Through development projects and foreign aid, China applies soft power. China has put forth an intentional attempt to extend and give a more prominent profile to its soft power arrangements within the world. The commitments of China’s soft power ranges from well-being, humanitarian support to academic, proficient, and cultural exchange. Cultural exchange programs and providing scholarships to students are examples of how China has been spreading its soft power. The increase of China’s soft power has made a response in the USA, where the administration has begun shutting Confucius institutes, which is threatening the USA’s power. Thus, through the efforts of the Chinese leaders, China has become a competitor to the USA as it has expanded its economic, military, technological, and soft power and now China is viewed as a contender to overtake the USA as the world superpower in light of the remarkable advancement and predominance it is making in the international arena. There are the prospects that in the upcoming future China will excel the USA and become the supreme power of the world because of the potential role-playing by China.'

Since when is Lanzarote in the Mediterranean?
I am Irish . Go to Lanzarote about twice a year. Lots of Irish go. The hotel we stayed in in February was about 60 percent Irish. 20 percent Scottish the other 20 percent mainly British and Dutch. Still good value but a lot more upmarket shopping Malls and a great New Mall in the capital Arrecife. The people in Lanzarote are so friendly. I do not think they all agree with this policy. The Brits leave a lot of money in all the bars. Lanzarote usually gets a well behaved type of tourists. We have met lovely English people over the years.

Lanzarote and Fuerteventura have always seen a large number of Germans. Unfortunately some of the British youngsters get a bit shall we say excitable at night. The drinks measures are large and the prices much cheaper than at home. Lump this together with the bars staying open until very late/early morning and it's obvious that some will have a little too many which can affect their behaviour. I don't tend to see this with many other nationalities. Maybe they are used to drinking copious amount if alcohol. I know many German women drink pints

there are 160,000 residents in Lanzarote. I have seen Germans buying 1 bottle of water using 4 glasses and occupying the table for 2 hours when Brits are waiting to buy a meal. Being a Brit living in Lanzarote for 26 years I am disgusted with the councillor's statement.
Lanzarote is NOT in the Mediterranean!
0:55 Lanzarote is in the Canaries, not the Mediterranean. Normally I'm quite patriotic and benevolently disposed towards my fellow British tourists. However, when I escaped last Christmas in Fuerteventura, I have to say that the behaviour of some of the British tourists in my hotel was pretty revolting in terms of noise, foul language, alcoholism, and indecent exposure.
Are we bothered
I'm guessing their economy must be thriving. Cutting nose off despite the face🤦♂️
I've seen Germans abroad, they're not much better. Had 1 group, half of them were speaking some arabic language.
No joke, I've seen British people go on holiday to Spain, only to not bother learning any Spanish, insisting on only eating British food, etc. It's just creepy. I can't blame them for not wanting us... When I go to a different country, it's my responsibility to learn their language, eat their food, and respect their way of life. If I don't like it, then I can just piss of back home to England.

@@davidholgate123 Exactly, so they don't need to ban Brits, they need to attract a different type of Brit. They should be changing what they have to offer, maybe getting rid of all inclusive holidays and cheap hotels. The problem is there doesn't seem to be much to do in Lanzarote other then sit on a beach and get drunk. So it's likely that this new plan won't work very well and they will change their minds in the future. I don't think banning is a good idea, because they're alienating all Brits and not just the chavs that are the problem.
It's a while since I was at school, but I believe Lanzarote is not in the Mediterranean. I believe it is in the Canary islands. Comments appreciated.
