UK tourists will be boycotting Spain and has warned locals "you will soon be crying". UK holidaymakers have warned European Union hotspot Tenerife, in particular, that the Canary Islands will be off their vacation list after protests over overtourism this weekend.

"This is the most bizarre protest ever. Unless they have a watertight plan B for their economies, they better get used to not eating. They're biting the hand that literally feeds them," wrote a GB News reader in response to the protests.

Another said: "It almost goes without saying that these people will be begging tourists to come back when their economy collapses." As well as Tenerife, Majorca locals are seen gathering in their hundreds as they unite in their demand for British tourists to "go home".

Anti-tourism rallies have been gathering momentum in recent months with local Spaniards growing increasingly frustrated with masses of Britons swooping into their local towns. "is it just British tourists they don't want or any tourists?" asked another.

"I'm sure we Brits will listen. It's one of the more attractive places for holidays, along with Minorca, but sadly both off our visit list. Loads there have a choice to make: do they want a prosperous economy or back to the Stone Age?" asked another.

"THEY WOULD STRUGGLE WITHOUT THE TOURISTS!" another fumed. "I'll do them a favour and never return - awful place. The last time I was there, my pal got robbed of all his money and if everyone boycotted Tenerife, they all be moaning that there were no jobs. All the souvenir shops, hotels, restaurants, taxis, airports would suffer," wrote another.

"Simple - don't go to the Canaries or Spain. They'll soon be crying when hotels go bankrupt and the British don't go there," said another holidaymaker. Others urged the islands not to "complain" when tourism and money "dries up".
