Now TUI says the Balearic Islands are FULL! : Travel operator says popular hotspot for Brits has...

Travel operator TUI has announced the Balearic Islands have 'reached capacity' as they urge holidaymakers to look elsewhere when booking their sunny getaways following recent anti-tourism protests across Spain .

But despite the pause on the Balearics, the TUI boss revealed he had recently discussed opening up Algeria for beach holidays. He said: 'We are offering to create living spaces for employees and other residents; we are happy to tackle the issue head-on.' Ebel added: 'It is not our place to dictate how many tourists a destination can accommodate; that is the responsibility of local politicians'.

Demonstrators packed into Weyler Square in the Tenerife capital Santa Cruz, the start point for a march on the Brit-popular holiday island, on April 20 He also claimed the number of homes built for local residents that were being purchased instead by foreigners as holiday properties was a problem. Locals complained of rowdy tourists disrespecting the private properties by climbing stairs, scaling picture perfect balconies and even entering doorways as they hunt down the most Instagrammable spots.
