The Red Radio Breakfast Show has released a new podcast that reveals the truth behind the so-called “anti-tourism” protests.
At the Big Red Breakfast Show, Teesside radio station Daz and Expat presenter Geoff Wood visited Lanzaroto, Spain, to reveal what British tourists need to know.
For months, National Media has warned that Spanish locals no longer want tourists, and dramatic headlines predict the hostile summer of the villa. However, after talking to local officials, business owners and campaigners, Daz and Geoff revealed very different stories.
Daz explains: What we actually found was that locals “come! We need to tourism, but we need to be sustainable.” The British press blew all this out of balance. Now set the record straight. ”
Jeff, who lived in Lanzaroth for years, adds: “Yes, there are protests, but we aim to be politicians rather than British tourists. There is no movement to “British people go home.” In fact, the real threat to Spanish resorts is the fear from the national media that is making the holidays go bad. ”
The podcast confirms that Spain is “closing the door” to tourists, as we have heard from Spanish government officials, tourism bosses and local campaigners. Provides tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip to your UK villa, and reveals how several travel agencies actually benefit from preventing UK tourists from booking Spanish holidays.
Daz and Geoff visit some of the sights and sounds offered to tourists, revealing some of the island's absolute gems.
Podcasts are now available for searches on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Red Radio, all major streaming platforms.
