So basically, this is what is happening in GB, Cornwall is a prime example,
Yep, with HMOs been built everywhere for the ppl that come illegally, while locals get treated like second class citizens.
When tourism becomes too powerful in an area, the locals suffer.
It’s happening everywhere the Scottish Highlands and Islands are the same all houses bought for air bnb use
No one can afford to live in England.....
Really good to hear the real story rather than the rubbish that the British press is reporting.
Yeah it's understandable
Yep and I agree 👍 💯
Opportunity for British media psyop to frighten people out of holidays...
All about control of the people, dont let it happen.
Seriously ? Hundreds of people carrying placards stating “TOURISTS GO HOME”
Thousands marching together.with the placard bearers. You put faith and belief in the comments of the CZcamsr who made the click bait video. Well enjoy your trip to the canaries.
@@arthurdick9553 Your an Ostrich Arthur.....do you understand the word psyop? Why narratives are created and for what purpose? The msm are actively seeking to frighten people away from the canaries.... the sheep believe it! Thats you!
The answer is Don't book Air BnB holidays to the Canary Islands
That's ok but the hotels charge a single room supplement which is why I, as a single traveller, prefer to use AirBnB.
@@fireflyrobertreasonable but solution must be found
We have the same problem in London. Social housing is sold off, it was mostly rented by students (families couldn’t afford the rent) now it’s mostly Air B & B leaving it even harder for people with families to find affordable rents. It also kills the community.
As a native from Tenerife I have to thanks you for let people know the truh but I think there are a lot more problems to fix before this, like an uncontrolled and unsostenible immigration as well as uncontrolled incrising of population . In my opinion touryst is not the real problem. The real peoblem here is politicians and media , they are deceiving people.
Please do not care about some crazy people, keep coming and enjoy canary Island,s, we will be working for you to be happy here
i hear what you are saying and i believe any new properties being built cannot now be let for 10 years as Vv holiday lets so that is a step in the right direction. but direction should come from government not from individual holidaymakers boycotting certain lets as it will not work, someone else will book that apt instead.
This is happening on Greek islands too. Especially my island of Rhodes. Too many hotels, too many Airbnb. Not enough homes for locals and rents sky high. I stand with canary islands!!
What do you expect from British MSM
Yep, it's a shame the 🍾 socialists dont see how it affects of their greedy ways & how buying all the properties within a country, turning them into HMOS & air BNBs, takes away homes for the locals, it's happening in the UK to for immigration.
They are trying to get UK residents to resent the Spanish and to take more holidays in the UK. It won't work.
Even yesterday one UK news channel was reporting it was a demo against British tourists. The Canarian Government and the Local Authorities need to be less corrupt, stop building anymore hotel and holiday accommodation. Build more accomodation for the locals, follow Cesar Manrique's ethos it is a shame he is no longer alive and here because I do not think that things would have gotten this bad for the locals and those tourists who adore and respect this island.
Well done Dave - The message is loud and clear - Tourists are welcome but tourism needs to be regulated and the island needs to be respected environmentally and culturally 👍☘️
Uk government needs to do the same.
Gracias por entenderlo
Thanks so much for showing the truth of the situation from a local
The gutter press and media in the UK is disgusting tbh
Totally agree with the locals of the canary Islands.
She said "my people" could you imagine saying that in. Uk
The last guy saying pay more taxes has lost the plot, they already take millions if not billions in tax & do nothing for the people, so paying more will do nothing to solve the problems.
He is talking about the airbnb owners who are renters from around the globe and have priced the locals out of the market and are getting tax breaks from government , they earn more from short term renters than long term hence no properties for the locals.
It's greed property investors! They do it in the UK for immigration to.
We are struggling with housing throughout the UK as homes are turned into HMOs! Which takes homes away from families.
The government needs to build affordable housing for workers and residents as although airbnb has created a worldwide problem… it will only go to the black market anyway. So affordable housing for workers need to be built.
@@catlewis49 You should check out the tax deals done by the Canarian governments with the owners of all the huge, and not so huge Chinese owned shops/warehouses. When I liveed in Lanzarote it was common knowledge tyhat the likes of ' Marca 99 ' etc. were allowed to set up warehouses full of Chinese crap and not pay rent or property taxes if the buildings were owned by the councils or government. The Cabildo in Lanzarote; I can't say for sure about the other islands, but I'm pretty sure it was the same, were really close to the CCP with all sorts of sweetheart deals. The various Canarian governments have made corruption into an artform. They make the Mafia look honest!
I think the world is going through a very fractious time tbh, and people are getting fed up of governments and local authorities, and these protests are a proven point that people have had enough! Fair play for you doing these videos those mate great stuff 👍
Every country first has to look after their own, or you end up like the UK and start importing cheap short term labour, pushing locals further down the line. Rehouse your people the rest falls in place.
This situation has already existed for decades in Spain.
@susanaescriba977 it's a shame, the EU had alot to answer for for the past 40odd yrs. As a country, we also lose our identity. As an example, why would anyone want to go on holiday, when greeted by non Spanish residents or workers whom have no idea on the culture or history or don't even speak Spanish. As I may as well stay in the UK.
Great coverage, take note uk media.
Me and my husband have just had a wonderful time in Lanzarote in a quiet area in a villa. We were made most welcome by all local people. We ate away from the tourist restaurants as we love to find those " out of the way places". We are now waiting at the Airport to fly home and only wish we had longer to stay. I feel the locals should demonstrate for more affordable housing! I hope their government gets on board to make these necessary changes. Thank you for doing these informative videos. People, dont believe the British press! X
Anyone believing the British MSM BULLSHIT are IDIOTS 🐂💩🐂💩🐂💩
Unfortunately, they won't. Politicians doesn't care about population anymore. Doesn't bother to solve anything, they just grab votes whenever they can at any cost.
In Spain there's a lot of tourism, and investors just abuse it. We don't hate tourism, we hate the issues caused by it with politicians ineptitude.
Hi Dave, it’s bloody awful that locals can’t rent somewhere to live at a reasonable cost for them. The government should stop people putting accommodation on air b&b sites etc unless it’s managed properly. All the locals I’ve ever met are nice warm & friendly people. The media here in the uk are saying that tourists from the uk are not welcome or wanted & IT IS PUTTING PEOPLE OFF going to Lanzarote & the other islands. If the government don’t act quickly, people will holiday in other places then the locals will lose their income & jobs which in turn affects the government, once again it’s the local people that lose out & the media is making things worse for the islands. Keep telling the truth……👍
This is happening everywhere in the west
Sounds like they are as fed up as we are with interlopers taking their housing.
Airbnb is a curse for the residents of tourist towns. I know a man who has a Airbnb, he laughs at the amount of money he can make from it. He won't let it in the winter as he says 'the first thing they do is stick on the heating, cutting into my profits'. Pure greed. We want affordable holidays, but do we want them at the expense of the local community in these tourist areas?
I would never stay in a holiday let it’s somebody’s home always a hotel ❤
Lanzarote was originally developed around private villas with pools and smallish apartment complexes not many hotels it was a self catering destination which was its appeal big corporate money has changed it completely if you wanted hotels you want to Gran Canaria or Tenerife back then
@@janetcutts7921 Agree, i stay in Lanzarote quite a lot and only stay in a smallish purpose built self catering complx but due to some minor health and mobility isuues struggle to walk up the hill to get to it. i have booked this time a small bungalow style apt near playa chica and after seeing reports was intially feeling guilty. But this was quite clearly built as a holiday home a number of years ago and not as a home for locals
They need homes they can afford, it’s unfair on natural born canarians can’t afford rent or property. The government needs to cater for its own people before hotels and air b&bs.
And do you think that these same problems do not exist in the UK or elsewhere?
It is entirely the fault of the Canarian councils and politicians that they have not been building homes at affordable rents,allow hotels and Canarian business's to pay the lowest wages that they can get away with paying,for allowing the building of new hotels and the enlargement of others and for the bribery and corruption that has caused most of these problems,not tourists but these videos have gone world-wide and I and many others will not be coming to the Canary Islands ever again as I will no longer feel welcome after watching these videos and feel that the local population will resent my presence and blame me for all your problems and I will not be alone in thinking that after watching these videos so I will go elsewhere in future and I think that many others will too so you will find out how much worse it is with fewer tourists.
@@seandobson499 They want 'quality tourists', Sean. From the tone of your reply I don't think they'll lose any sleep if you stay away.
Like the UK then with HMO Britain for illegals! Its made out to be racist if we say anything about our communities & not been able to get family homes.
@@gjm81 Why? We are all allowed an opinion, what makes you the God of truth?
@@gjm81 UK as taken many ppl into the country & it's paid for by the hardworking British tax payer! So that been said, I'd say the person you've insulted is more of a person than you.
If it’s not about “go home tourists” why do they have placards saying “go home tourists” ?
Because there are people, with all their rights, who want that.
Because everybody's allowed to have an opinion, also, you cannot fit an essay on a placard.
Us British have our rights too but we are being invaded every day and if we say anything against it then we are viewed as the bad guys by the media
@@shaunusmaximus6399totally agree we put banners up go home illegals and we are far right and get arrested
Exactly that's the banners we see so it's BS what's being said then. Banners could say no more immigration no more hotels etc
Well done for getting out and talking to the locals and getting the real story. According to the UK media you would think a riot is brewing.
Thanks Mr. Travelon
#Replay…
Wow! Unbelievable Dave! Thank you for reporting on this and showing exactly what’s going on!
Very understandable why the local people are demonstrating. The government needs to sort things out .
A great piece of journalism. Many thanks. We visit the Canaries three or four times a year. So glad we found your channel.
UK newspapers are certainly making people think carefully about booking next winter
Thanks for the information not the lies we hear in the Newspapers in UK
Yip, the MSM and governments hand in hand. Haven't watched MSM in years and only hear about stuff like thisfrom YTubers like yourself. Keep up the good work.....👍👍👍
Thank you for the truth about the Canary Islands, if we, the tourists knew what it's all about, we will support the Canarian people.....
Thank you for setting the record straight
The people are the reason I fell in love with the Canary Islands.
Im off to fuerteventura in august and this report is brilliant puts the mind to rest great to hear it from the locals not the corrupt british media spewing out lies
Same Cornwall, Devon ' Wales
Greedy rich people !
So you go on a two week holiday and your greedy and rich, what a bell end you are. Lefty answer to everything . No tourists no money ,Spain and the canaries would collapse.
Close the Airbnb, Vrbo, and the rest of companies, take possession of the houses and flats and rent them back to the locals.
The situation has gotten so bad now investment companies are now the landlords in many countries.
Our sympathies go out to the wonderful people of the Canary Islands. We have exactly the same problem with tourism and ‘buying up’ of properties in the Scottish Highlands and Islands leaving the local people who provide service to tourism with nowhere to stay as housing is unaffordable. Well done bringing the truth to our attention. 🏴
Thanks 🤗
Well done Eva and all speakers you put across the real situation extremely well! 👏
I stand with the people of Lanzarote. Government needs to govern and not always put profits at the detriment of the local population. I enjoy holidaying in Lanzarote and the locals are great. Respect their Island and stay classy while you are a guest.
Muchas gracias por sus palabras
Until they look after the people who work there with affordable housing more protests will follow,
Great video telling us the truth .
thank you for showing us what the Real story is. You spoke to local people who told us the real reason of the protest.
Hi travel on . This has been a problem for a few years now , and it’s now time for action . I am a Brit , and I own a house on a RESIDENTIAL complex , but there are owners who rent their homes out for holidays to tourists which has been classed as illegal , as it is not a TOURIST complex .these people have been denounced, taken to court ,but they continue to rent out their homes by the week .Now perhaps the cabildo will enforce punishments to people who continue to do this,instead of turning a blind eye. Long term rentals are allowed ,for workers/ locals etc.
Take off Airbnb, internet publicity for bed and breakfast. In Naples, Italians people closed that website thay protest for the same reason, massive tourism is a big problem all over.
if people stopped renting apts..the restaurants would all close..swings and roundabouts.😮
@@ladybirdferry6105NOT stopping tourists ,holiday makers/ tourists should use tourist accommodation , hotels ,holiday complex’s etc , residential rentals for Canarian residents and workers.
That's eye opening, thanks for posting and the effort in this vid. The UK media have definately spin this in a very negative light.
I am sick to the teeth with our media in UK all doom and gloom causing mental problems
Very well covered.... keep up the good work....
Thanks, will do!
Scottish Highlands and Islands the same...
No houses for locals...
But Hotels need staff and no accommodation..........
Thanks a lot for these eye opener.Really a great Job!!!
We come over on the 2nd of May so thanks for putting us at ease our a good en Dave
We the working class have the same problem in Britain but it’s not tourists it immigrants and the media call us far right.
Thats because most of you are. The REAL prob;em in Britain is that so many of our people are lazy benefit dependent scroungers. Give me a hard working immigrant over a lazy entitled Brit any day.
Where in Britain has immigration forced up rents?
You can't compare the two situations.
@@Paul-eb4jp If you overpopulate a country by the size of a city every year it also causes increase in house prices , NHS / GP / dentist etc waiting list , lowers wages especially of the lower skilled , grid lock and lowers standards in general.
@@haroldland5834 We take in lots of medical staff who actually keep our NHS functioning.
@@Paul-eb4jp We should train our own instead of taking them from other often poorer countries who train them and in most cases need them more than we do.
Thanks for bringing the truth.
I noticed today that some of the online headlines/ stories - the media have tuned off the comments so no one can contradict the story 😖
Shared! I stopped watching msm ages ago but I know those who still believe they're lies.
Classic example is Barcello in Playa Blanca, massive hotel struggling for staff and I do not think a benefit to a nice resort
our home our island - but they don't own any of it, totally disingenuous this sense of ownership!
This made the main news tonight in the UK. Are the Canaries behind many countries? Try being a first time buyer in the UK or getting Drs/Dentist etc. Simply not dealing with living longer and growing populations.
Brilliant interviews & it was good hearing the opinions of local people who live there, thanks for making their voices heard. Big changes are needed & I hope more will be done to support locals in the future.
Thanks Rocky
I totally agree with the last lady who said it’s all about balance .
This is exactly the same as the isle of skye in Scotland. So much property is airb&b. Sos much so the kids have to leave because there's nowhere to live
Exactly !! Skye and Hebrides !!
Everything over priced a complete
Rip off .....Pods / Wigwams / Chalets / Bothys / Shepherd's Cottages (!) - all to rent at hundreds of £ £ per week..!!
@@2msvalkyrie529 and no housing for the locales. It's not just the canaries. It's the whole of Europe
I heard 40 million tourists a year. If they all boycott this place now ive got a feeling theyll be licking their own wounds. Imagine the loss of income. Can't have it both ways. Signs saying to go home & then to verbally say tourists are welcome. Contradictory. .
Thankyou Dave. Not that we have ever bothered about all these stories. It won't stop us from visiting.😊
Totally respect the locals & how they feel, just because you go on holiday to relax & enjoy! You still have to remember this is another persons home, they have to be put first of course. 🙏💯❤️
So true!
We have been visiting Tenerife for nearly 10yrs but will give it a miss now until things settle, thank you.
Build these local ppl homes.NOWWWWWWWWWWW Not Tomorrow NOWWWWWWW!!!!
Disgusting to add more hotels to fill your greedy coffers & Leave Local ppl homeless!!
Bless the Canary Islands we stand with the locals. xLove From England x
They used to look after the locals and all the people who were involved in tourism in the 80's onwards it wasn't a problem until the big corporate holiday companies moved in forced out the small independent holiday companies like myself and developed the island that's what happened I don't recognise it anymore Ceasur Manrici left a legacy which sadly got buried like the sand
@@janetcutts7921 Please don't give up. I visited the Canary Islands twice most years. I couldn't say a bad word about the Hotel Staff. Local ppl. Taxi Drivers. Restaurants & staff. Shops. Pubs.
Local ppl should come first before anyone else. BUILD THOSE PPL HOMES & LISTEN TO THESE PPL.....NOW.
All Tourists should only support Local Hotels & Businesses RIGHT ACROSS THE CANARY ISLANDS.
Come now we can do this for two years. Watch the change happen those hotels can be turned into 3 3-bedroom homes for the LOCAL PPL!!!
@@mitzygaynor482 I was involved in the travel industry for over 20 years mainly Canaries predominantly Lanzarote I can no longer travel due to long term illness I am very glad I was there at the birth of Lanzarote I really hope they can sort things out but once the big corporates get involved and ran me and many other small companies out of business it then started to change my last holiday in the Canaries was in Fuerteventura which hasn't changed all that much
Every citizen has a right to be able to protect their home land and their counties' identity
I love Lanzarote and the people of Lanzarote. You are doing a great job of setting the record straight. Airbnb is sucking the life blood out of so many places and I would rather not go on a holiday than to use it. We love Costa Teguise which is great if you have any mobility issues as it’s very level with plenty of dropped pavements and the people there can’t do enough to help you. It’s a disgrace they are being treated this way and I hope some good comes from the protests. Despite what the media say in the UK I can’t see it damaging genuine tourism and the people that love the island will still come and be respectful. We will be heading to another Spanish island this year but not because of these protests. People of Lanzarote, keep up the good fight! TravelOn thank you for speaking the truth.
This is going to happen accross europe. !
This is exactly the same as what is happening here in Cornwall. So many empty properties here especially out of season yet so many here that don't have a home and can't afford the rents!
nice to hear the locals speak the truth, its a problem thats been growing globally for years. great reporting fella.
A fantastic video, I really liked it
Great information straight from the people who live and work there. Thanks Dave.
Thanks
Another thing ive noticed how the UK media is reporting this. The footage they show during their reports is usually of the mainland party resorts especially Benidorm. Ive always found Tenerife quite reserved.
Airbb to blame
We have this problem in all our seaside places in England 🏴
This is an example of what Demonstration should be.
Great work. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Perhaps they shouldn’t carry placards saying ‘tourist,s go home’ then.
We watched this after unfortunately seeing channel 4s take on the story, this is the reason they hate independent media.
If you have no airbnbs then there is no affordable holidays. Hotels will charge what they want. The banning of Airbnb’s has destroyed tourism in Scotland. Prices have risen 50-100% in two years. Be careful what you wish for. Holiday homes are an easy scapegoat. Tourism is welcome but only if they pay lots of money in corporate run hotels.
Hotel prices has gone up because the cost of living has gone up. I work in a hotel, and it would be impossible to run it without increasing the prices.
A hotel is a business, and of course the owners want to make money. If we have kept the prices low, we would go bankrupt. Another thing is what has been said about "quality tourism".
We see that the people who get "good deals" and pay a very low price, tend to be the same people who does not follow the rules of the hotel. The ones who throws a party, and the ones who leaves the rooms in an absolute ruin.
We need people who know how to behave, both inside the hotel grounds and around the island.
Destroyed tourism in Scotland , take a look at Skye , there are actually too many tourists in Skye and others places in Scotland.
There is a couple from Liverpool who have lived in Tenerife for eight years, he was on his channel last night ,saying the same as this chap.... The problems are in the North of the island, nothing to do with the South. The media are hopeless , not doing proper research
I'm about as surprised and shocked at the MSNs reporting as I am at the EU remoaners complaining that a dose of diarrhea was down to Brexit!
You should of asked those with signs saying tourists not welcome
They have got there wish .. I’m a pensioner and I won’t go where I’m not wanted
Evening Mate, my family has just bought a property in playa blanca, funnily enough i saw you at the gym there last week🤣. We bought a property recently, and have had nothing of the sort from the locals,i can’t wait to live there.
Nice one!
Thanks for putting the record straight Dave. Its a pity the UK press blow things out of all proportion.
Australia strictly prohibits overseas buyers buying second hand property in order to protect that market for local people. This should be the law everywhere.
Thats why i dont read or watch the MSM anymore, just full of propaganda..keep up the good work.
Great interview with the locals
They like r money but not us ,same everywhere 😢
The press need to get there stories right these people need homes that are affordable thanks dave great video great information 👍 ❤❤
Yes they do
Don't be silly .the press only what to tell you there own made up story's
Thanks for update over on Thursday 😊
No problem 😊
Its the same in the UK though take Cornwall for example they have the exact same issues..
Thanks for giving us the update i was a little bit miffed at the lady who said they wanted quality tourists ....that means what? Majority of tourists respect the local environment and the culture and if the hotels were not there with all due respect they wouldnt have jobs so what are they wanting rich tourists the issue is with the government allowing new hotels to be built so confused i have been going to Lanzarote for years and never disrespected the island infact its the best out of the three canary islands. You can undersrand us britts feeling unsure even ifvthe media is wrongly reporting.
The ‘questionnaire’ at the departure date will get you to tick a box confirming that you are indeed a ‘Quality Tourist’.
Seriously, the message coming from the protest is about as muddled as the message coming from msm, so I get why it’s being reported that way.
Market forces will/should dictate who survives and whether Lanzarote is your next holiday destination. If the hotels are unable to remain open, because their staff can’t find/afford accommodation, they will have two options: close or increase the wages.
She explained clearly what she meant. Not sure why you are confused. Even as a non-native English speaker, she described it well.
@@susivarga7303thank you for your reply but I found it offensive we are all entitled to our opinion and if the issue is re housing then this is between thier government and locals and was no need for comments like we want quality tourists. Affordable accommodation is an issue even here in England .
@@Brenda-lp5vr
So.... you don't want quality neighbours? Quality co-workers? Quality guests at your table? Quality friends for your kids?
You'll just take benefit Steve and off the boat Ali with open arms?
Ok. I believe you 🙃
I think you are very rude and will not answer anymore of your comments. You or anyone else should not judge anybody because they are on benefits. Have a good life
As a veteran traveller of the canaries. I've seen the change in behaviour since covid especially, the airport staff and police treat tourists like crap in Tenerife sur ....they are pointing this at the british mostly. Its the European's buying up property and renting it out as they are EU nationals. I read her cardboard sign and is says clearly territory limited , tourism unlimited! . So which you want the tourists or no tourists , or onlt the ones we see as worthy. The canaries are going to lose the holiday makers if they are not careful. There are cheaper and more welcoming alternatives. I know your on damage control but ive seen the change in canarian behaviour as i was over just a few months back. They are going to cook the goose that lays the golden eggs, they should bring it up with the canarian government for social housing foe residents only attacking a reduction is tourism is going to alienate visitors to the canary islands.
This is what is happening in the UK in places like Cornwall and other popular areas they sell to air bmbs and businesses so there's no property's for the locals to live in .
Thanks Dave! Maybe if the government stopped the rental of of apartments,villas, air bb, and tourist should only be aloud stay in the apartments that are allocated for tourist! What lanzarote and other islands don't need is tourist to start boycotting and start looking at other places to holiday in !
Thank you so much for this video, we have been going to Lanzarote for 20 years and love it. So we were really concerned about what is being reported in the media. We now understand the issue - which is the same as us in the south west of England, too many homes now given over to tourism and holiday properties, so that younger people in particular are priced out of homes in their own area. I don't know what the answer is, but I have great sympathy with the local residents. I hope there is a solution for Lanzarote, it is a beautiful island.
We have the same problem in England at tourist spots like the lake district and Devon and. Cornwall. They want workers but dont provide housing. Im coming to tenerife in September, haven't been for a while and looking forward to it.
The canary government need to hype the taxes of the people buying 2nd and 3rd properties for tourism.
You only need one home, the same thing is a big problem all over the U.K with people owning several properties and subletting, hype up their taxes and maybe we’ll see less of it and more homes for locals.
Thanks for the update, we fly over in a few weeks. Love this island.
Have fun!
Theses hotels should have accommodation for all their workers, it's very difficult for young people trying to manage paying for flats, this should be supplied by these hotels.
I totally understand…..I live in Dorset, and Dorset, Devon and Cornwall are exactly the same……….2nd/3rd homes! Nowhere for locals 😢 But the same……. Tourism is key 🔑
Every infrastructure, rail, taxi, hotel and airline preceding a trip will suffer financially from these “mixed “ messages coming from Spain and the Canaries. Blaming tourists for calamitous governments is not the answer.
