  • In this week's Lanzarote news, we talk about protest March (The Canaries have a limit,) which took place last weekend, a brilliant new "Urban library" idea, Lanzarote wines and the cheese that has been named the best in Spain.
    We also answer the "Tourist tax" question, and the bus driver's strike.

    I own a home on a RESIDENTIAL complex , however some owners advertise their homes as holiday let’s for more money , It’s been an argument for years here that this is illegal as we are not a TOURIST complex . Long term rentals for local families/workers are accepted ,so the cabildo need to take action against such owners instead of doing nothing .

    I agree once over built on they ruin the islands. Affordable housing for locals is essential. Love the local wine & cheese.

    My wife and I love the local wine and food. Yes lanzarote is not anti tourist its just the lack of affordable housing for the people who work in the service sector.
    Regard chis uk.

    This is a failure of the government to provide for the people there. Usual story. Now the tourists are the convenient scapegoat. I love Lanzarote. I'm not a drinker (I'm an eater though😂). I go long walks away from the beaten path and find the island absolutely breathtaking. I hope this is the kick up the arse needed to provide for local families. ❤

    Currently in Costa Teguise, our hotel has a book case absolutely crammed with books on a help yourself basis, must be similar in all resorts.
    Tourist tax, the Balearic Islands have been charging a tax for years with little impact on numbers holidaying there, hopefully the tax revenue is used correctly.
    Affordable housing is a problem in the UK too, particularly in tourist areas like Cornwall and Devon,

    Why don't the government buy up the run down building outside costa tequise and make it local only accommodation

      They have to wait until the court cases regarding those plots have run their course, and then they can.

    The Tourist Tax will end up the same as Road Tax over here i,e after a very short while only a tiny percentage of the tax will actually be spent on the ecosystem. Never trust a government or politicians no matter what pat of the globe they are from.

    • @LanzaroteInformation
      @LanzaroteInformation  Před 24 dny +1

      As I said in the video, there are no plans to introduce a tourist tax here.
