Video footage recorded by the Olive Press shows a security guard waving his finger and shouting ‘no, no, no!’ at the men as he frantically made hand gestures towards his watch. The pair were then escorted away from the area at the Melia Hotel in Benidorm and told to get to the back of a queue, which had been forming from 8am. It comes as hotels are bracing for the dreaded sunbed wars this year, which are starting earlier than ever. Last week two elderly tourists were branded ‘selfish’ for laying on stacks of sunbeds, also in Benidorm.

A HISTORIC anti-tourism march has alarmed holiday firms as the main summer season begins. An incredible 10,000 people took to the streets in Mallorca this weekend to demand change to the ‘destructive’ effects of tourism. Chanting ‘They will not force us out of Mallorca’, they goaded holidaymakers with signs including ‘Guiri go home!’ and caused mayhem

EMOTIONAL: But also partly xenophobic march in Palma on Saturday
on a busy Saturday. It comes after local protests also took place in Sevilla, Malaga and the Canary Islands. Tourists told the Olive Press how they felt ‘intimidated’ and even ‘scared’ when the hordes of angry protesters marched through Palma, on Saturday.

tourist lets. Posters read: ‘Our ancestors land is for sale’ and ‘It’s not tourism-phobia, it’s Mallorca-cide’, while protestors chanted: “No, no, they will not force us out of Mallorca.” One local told the Olive Press: “The general public has had to take a stand as our politicians just don’t want to get involved.” For young people, the situation is particularly dire. Locals relate how they are ‘stuck’ living with their parents due to high rent prices. A spokesman for the organisers, a local collective called Sencelles Time Bank said ‘enough was enough’ as tourism took a grip across every part of the island. “Foreign investors are honing in on the interior of the island because it's the only
charming bit left to buy,” he said. The group is demanding immediate ‘emergency measures’ to solve the issue. These include: declaring Mallorca a ‘stressed’ real estate zone, the approval of a vital moratorium on tourist lets and standard of living guarantees for locals.
Model
“People are really suffering and we don’t trust this government to change the tourism model,” added the spokesman. It follows action in the Canary Islands last month, where some 57,000 residents gathered to protest against mass tourism. A German tourist boss, who owns a string of holiday rentals in Sevilla and Marbella, told the Olive Press: “I am genuinely worried about it and don’t tell anyone I meet anymore what my job is.” Asking to remain anonymous, she added: “It is clearly becoming a major problem.” See Demand and desperation, p6 Opinion p6
