Protest planned outside luxury Tenerife hotel popular with British holidaymakers

Environmental campaigners in Tenerife will protest against the construction of more than 400 luxury villas in El Puertito de Adeje later this month. 

The protest is due to take place outside Hotel Baobab Suites in Costa Adeje, which is featured by tour operators TUI, Jet2holidays and easyJet holidays.

Activists have chosen to protest outside the hotel because it is owned by Belgian businessman Filip Hoste, the promoter behind the 420 luxury villas.

The protest will take place on 14 June at 12pm. 

It comes after more than 50,000 people have signed a petition urging for building work to be halted.

The tourism project has come under fire for alleged environmental damage, illegal works, and violations of archaeological protections, the Canarian Weekly reports.

Three sanction proceedings have been opened against the developer for destroying heritage sites, threatening protected flora, and commencing construction without an environmental impact assessment. However, all three cases have been allowed to expire under the current Canary Islands Government.

Travel Gossip has approached TUI, Jet2 and easyJet for comment.
