    Recibimos a los turistas respetuosos (como anfitriones, no siervos). Las manifestaciones son en contra del turismo de masas y todo incluido, porque expolia nuestros recursos, no podemos atender a más turistas que Brasil y Australia juntos!!! Además atrae mano de obra de fuera cuando aquí ya hay más de un 30% de pobreza y un 16% de paro. También estamos en contra de que adquieran propiedades aquí o monten empresas, ya que el teritorio es MUY limitado, nuestra biodiversidad comparable a Galápagos y las normas para residir deberían ser las mismas si queremos conservarlo. Es una emergencia social y ambiental, nada personal. Simplemente ya no cabe más gente, no es sostenible. La manifestación es desde la sociedad, una queja hacia nuestros políticos, turoperadores y hoteleras, que son los responsables.

The hotel staff, bar staff, restaurant staff, shop staff, taxi drivers, tour guides and ordinary locals were amazing. A couple of weeks after returning home, we booked our next holiday for this year in Lanzarote. We are looking forward to another amazing two weeks in June. We visited Lanzarote about 9 years ago and can't wait to visit again.

Not like Tunisia which is where my friend just arrived back from having been the only guest in the hotel, and also at mealtimes and at the bar.. So if you want to hear about actual deserted places see Tunisia. .. .. Always research the places you are going to begore you go

I'm not really sure what's going on here , but with other events being imposed , even i have to admit it looks to be some kind of control thing going on . Personally i don't watch the mainstream media , as it's unbalanced , and the last time i brought a paper was back in the 80's . What news media i do watch are not reporting these events , so the first i've heard of this , is you tube , just as in Spain .

We visit the Canary Isles every year and have never had and problems with locals. Whitby, North Yorkshire is one of our favourite resorts in the UK, but we avoid it in peak season due to the number of visitors. Locals have for years been complaining about availability of housing, due to visitors buying properties for their holidays/let's.

Ok, yes the traffic on the motorways is worse than ever before, but like Dave said the greedy Government have not put anything back into the Island for years. People have to move further away from their work as nothing available to rent to the locals which causes more traffic. They really do need to think of the locals more, but thats no fault of the tourists. Have a great time when you come

    I love the Canary Islands and have stayed on the main 4. I have always had a wonderful stay on all. The stays have always been in hotels where the staff have treated me well. I’m not a Spanish speaker but make the effort to order my drinks in the language which always goes down well My most recent trip was in March this year and was excellent. I agree with this you tuber, the infra structure has to accommodate the islanders with affordable housing and control the housing market. The islands need tourism to survive and tourist should respect the islands culture and not misbehave. I could go on, this video encapsulates the concerns of islanders very well. if you like the sun and sea there are not many places to beat. As this guy says look to home and you will see similar problems.

    Hi Dave, Just to pass on my thanks for your interesting and informative videos. My wife and I are regulars to the Canaries, with visits last year to Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife. This year Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote. We have always had brilliant times whichever island we have visited and have never threatened or unsafe, in fact we actually feel safer in the Canaries than at home. What we have noticed though, is that the resorts, shops and even hotels are not as busy as they used to be. We will always return to islands that make us feel that we are on holiday at home, but with the warmth and friendly people that we usually encouter. Fuerteventura in two weeks, Tenerife in September and Lanzarote in December. Gran Canaria we have just come back from recently. *******

    Another great video Dave. I've never felt under any pressure in PB in over 20 visits. Our news industry never reports good things only the opposite. I'm here in 13 days and am in no doubt that normality is in place.

    Been to Lanzarote 3 times with 10 years, or so, between visits. We loved the island and the people. Our children were 10 and 5 on our first visit (95), as a couple in the 2010s and again with our children and pre school grandchildren in the late 2010s. Brilliant memories of every trip.

    I’ve been to Lanzarote, Playa Blanca many times over the years, one of the nicest places for a relaxed holiday, never seen any trouble/crime and it’s always very clean. Favourite restaurant is L’artista, a small Italian place up some steps from the promenade, the guys in there are always great fun and the food is amazing. I will be back soon for some sun and friendly people.

    What protesters are saying is that the island needs quality tourists so respect the environment and local culture. I agree with some of that, walking down the strip in PDC the amount of British pubs and restaurants is unreal, it's becoming like Alicante. I think tourism is good for the island, but the cheap drink and fish n chips model isn't working. Locals, who the island belongs to, must feel pushed out. I think the real issue however is the housing market being pushed up and made scarce because of holiday lets - that is an issue for their government though and not tourists. I would personally like to see a bit more of local culture back in Lanzarote, its a beautiful place and last time I was there I was hard pushed to find much that wasn't British in PDC and any tourist destinations. money isn't everything when you're losing your cultural identity

    I've being going there for years and it was much busier in the late nineties early 2000, before the bust of 2007, it has never completely recovered. I don't go in the summer, especially August because it's too hot. All this nonsense about the place been overrun is hogwash, but that's nothing new with tabloid newspapers.

    The constant building of tourist resorts/hotels is happening everywhere, including the uk in places like Devon and Cornwall for example. It's up to the local councils to put a stop to it. I totally agree that the locals need to be accommodated before tourists, whatever the country involved.

Thats all!! please dont let this bollocks news deter you!! The locals, the tourist, the staff are all lovley people...i do hope the canary government invest in the locals though they do have enough income coming into the country but this just shows that the island needs your attaction to the island!!

    I have been visiting Lanzarote every year since 2015 with the exception of the 2 covid years. I stay at Puerto del Carmen and always enjoy myself, staying at the same apartment complex each time. The staff are very friendly and the apartments very clean. I always go out of season as flights are much cheaper and costs generally lower. My holiday needs are very basic as I just go to chill and relax. So plenty of time round the pool, watching football in the innumerable bars and good music in the evening. I have never experienced any trouble from drunken tourists of any nationality (and tourists from plenty of different countries travel here). It may help being out of season but all the British tourists I have encountered have been friendly and well behaved. Would definitely recommend holidaying here.
