Tenerife locals start hunger strike over ‘unsustainable mass tourism’

Campaigners in Tenerife began hunger strike objecting to 'overtourism' on Thursday, and more protests are planned on 20 April in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and La Palma

Both projects were stopped on the orders of the Canary Islands regional government for environmental infractions and irregularities, but construction work has recently resumed. “These environmentalists are angry at being called tourismophobics by politicians and businesspeople but we have a real problem. We need tourism but we have too much tourism.”
