After #20A, the Canary Islands Parliament voted on 24 April on the impacts of the mass-tourism model on the economy, environment and society. Only one of the proposals was approved (to ‘promote limitations on numbers and fees for non-residents to access protected natural areas, an ‘eco-tax’) and this measure has been controversial and had limited impacts. Newspapers across both Spanish and British media suggest that ‘thousands’ will be present for the demonstrations this coming Sunday. Many words are being spoken in the leadup to #18M but actions will speak louder.
