MENORCA, MAJORCA, IBIZA ISSUE DESPERATE PROMISE TO UK TOURISTS AND WILL 'REDOUBLE EFFORTS' Menys Turisme Més Vida is the coordinator in Majorca for protests taking place which come

Parc de la Mar, which read: "Our territory is not for sale. "It is urgent to put limits on the growth of tourism, to demand a change of direction and to point the way to degrowth


as a solution to the overexploitation of our resources and the exclusion of residents." One protester said she was taking part as fear could bring about change on the island, according


to the Express. Elena Boschi said: "We want tourists to have some level of fear about the situation; without fear, there is no change." Planned protests are not only said to affect


those in Majorca, but holiday destinations favoured by Brits such as Ibiza, Lanzarote, Barcelona, Alicante, Bilbao and Valencia too. READ MORE: WARNING FOR THOUSANDS OF UK TOURISTS WHO WILL

holiday plans upon hearing the news of protests in Spain, with one stating they "spent a fortune in Tenerife over the years," but [would] "not anymore." However, others


wrote how they could sympathise with the different protests which have occurred and are predicted to happen over the next few months. Article continues below They said: "I agree with


them to a certain extent. It's the people who buy up residential houses like they do here and in Cornwall and Wales so locals have nowhere to live. "Holiday makers who stay in


hotels are providing a living for locals and they know that."
