Despite a large number of anti -auto protests and promises to release “misery” to the British this summer, reservations for hot points in the European Union such as Spain and Greece are high, the pluscinemaz.comcan reveal exclusively
Two of the main hotspots of the European Union are treated in anti -auto rows. Last year, Spain witnessed 93.8 million record visitors over the mainland and a large number of islands worth the postcard.
The amazing flow led to a large number of protests from the local population who support, who claim that they have been priced outside the real estate market due to the high demand for hindrance to the short term. Armed with banners calling on the British “Goen”, and also called on residents to a fundamental change to preserve the environmental sites that are pushed into a “critical turning point” due to the overwhelming number of visitors.
Anger has already led to spaces of new bases in the country. New fees are scheduled to be imposed on vacationers who want to visit the TERIFE's Teide National Park that begins next year – and homeowners who want to rent their apartments will need tourists now to the approval of their neighbors.

It is a dark image in Greece, where writing on the anti -Suyuti walls has become a common place in the streets of hot points like Athens. As I mentioned earlier, the country increased the tourism tax (to 15 euros a night for the five -star hotel in the peak season) to reduce the overwhelming roles of vacationers.
However, it seems that all of these measures – regardless of the high extent – have fallen into deaf ears. Data from Priclabs, exclusively shared with the pluscinemaz.comshows that the country's hostility towards the British did not make us visit.
In fact, reservations to Tenerife – where protests are made at the end of this week (Sunday, May 18) by 12.7 percent compared to the same period last year. In Barcelona, which was falling on British British all over the city, it also saw 1.9 percent in reservations.
In Greece, the city of Athens, which was overwhelmed by reservations, rose 2.1 percent. However, Amsterdam and Venice – who carried out strict tourism taxes – began to see the consequences, with reservations declining by 12.8 percent and 8.1 percent, respectively.

“While the protests against mass tourism emit newspaper headlines throughout Europe, the influence on local markets is much less dramatic than the real blow that had strict regulations on cities such as Amsterdam and Venice,” said Themelt Masson of Priscessabbab. “All over Europe, the local population, operators and governments must work together to find a balance of tourism, so that companies can flourish, culture is preserved and we can all enjoy these beautiful places – reasonably and sustainable – for years to come.”
If you have been delayed by crazy crowds in hot points like Santorini and Barcelona, you can always try to visit destinations that have not yet occurred under the tourist lights. As I mentioned earlier, the Greek island of Patmos offers isolated sandy beaches, clear crystal water and a breathtaking date-but attract a small part of tourists compared to nearby islands.
Likewise, Extreadura, north of Seville in Spain, is desperate for tourists. In fact, they currently offer 12.6 pounds (15,000 euros) for the Bedouin Bedouins in the area.
