Lanzarote and Tenerife, popular holiday destinations, are facing severe social and environmental challenges due to the overwhelming influx of tourists. In Lanzarote, locals have started a campaign against tourists by putting up fake 'closed due to tourism overcrowding' signs and the island is said to be 'on the brink of collapse'. A similar sentiment is echoed in Tenerife, where locals claim their living conditions have deteriorated, with some saying they are forced to live in caves. The situation has led to tensions between holidaymakers and residents, with instances of locals in a Cornish beauty spot using hundreds of cones to deter problem parking by tourists. These actions reflect the growing frustration with the negative impacts of tourism.
