The tourism model developed in Canary Islands not to everyone’s taste. This led to a rally against this model being held last weekend in the south of Tenerife. However, although it seemed like a peaceful demonstration, there were those who decided shout and insult directly at tourists They were walking along the promenade.
“What’s wrong with you, monkey?” or “Go home, we want an ecotax” were some of the screams that can be heard in the videos circulating on the net, where protesters can be seen with signs of “Tourists go home” or “It’s not tourism, it’s colonialism”.
What in some videos seems to be a peaceful concentration, with chants of “Send yourself to move”, but without any type of interaction with the tourists, in others it is made clear that there were those who chose to face the visitorssomething that can be totally harmful to the image of Tenerife and the rest of the Canary Islands abroad.
