Thousands of residents in popular European holiday destinations, especially Spain's Canary Islands, have taken to the streets to protest against mass tourism. Locals are demanding that authorities curb visitor numbers, citing issues like soaring housing costs, traffic congestion, and strained public services. The protests have disrupted holidays for many tourists, with some holidaymakers reportedly hiding in their hotels amid the unrest. Demonstrators are warning that further action, including targeting airports, could follow if their concerns are not addressed. The movement reflects growing frustration across several countries, including Spain, Italy, France, and Portugal, over the negative impacts of overtourism.
