Go home tourists!!!

Wow! Spain certainly knows how to cut it’s own throat doesn’t it

https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/938802

Apparently, Tourists are being made to feel unwelcome n Spain. Majorca chiefs are planning a huge protest when the worlds’ largest Cruise ship, Symphony, docks in Palma. The protest is being organised by two environmental groupwho are against more cruise arrivals, claiming they create pollution and more overcrowding of the “already saturated islands”. They also claim staff on board are being exploited.

Apparently no-one also thought to tell tourist s visiting their country, that Spain has DOUBLED the tourist tax for visitors. Guests at a 5 star hotel even refused to pay the extra when they went to pay the tax at the reception desk as they had not been informed of this daylight robbery!

Even worse news.

Spain are also BANNING free drinks that have until now, always been part of the price of All-Inclusive holidays. They will now only be free with your meal, but those teas, coffees, spirits, soft drinks and beers that were always free outside on the verandah and around the pool and terrace will be no more!

Another bit of news, 90 demonstrators went onto a Majorcan beach with placards telling tourists to go home! Apparently, those tourists, along with Spanish visitors on the beach, went berserk and the demonstrators had to seek police protection.

It seems the Hotel management over there are going ballistic! They are begging the tourists not to desert Spain.

Hmmm, should prove interesting, I’m sure the tourists won’t be returning in a hurry to somewhere that is totally dependent on them for their economy, yet think it is okay to treat them like dirt, act like Dick Turpin and put Tourists off ever returning.

Nice one Spain!! At first I thought it was an Anti-Brexit thing, but this vendetta appears to be against all tourists visiting Spain! What on earth is going on?
