Canary Islands on Fodor's 'No List'

The Spain — Canary Islands have been placed on Fodor s 'No List' for 2025 and 2026, following local protests in 2024 and 2025 against mass tourism. The 'No List' highlights destinations where tourism is causing unsustainable pressures on the environment, local communities, and infrastructure, including issues like congestion, inflated rental costs, environmental degradation, and water shortages. Tourism accounts for over a third of the Spain — Canary Islands' GDP and employs about 40% of its population. Environmental groups like Asociación Tinerfeña de Amigos de la Naturaleza have voiced concerns about the impact on housing, natural spaces, and local culture. While Fodor s clarifies it is not a boycott, the advisory serves as a 'gentle but pointed nudge' for travelers to ease up on visiting the Spain — Canary Islands for a period.
