Locals, mayors, entrepeneurs, politicians and tourists know that the south of Tenerife needs a change. As we all know the southern parts of all the Canary Islands have been invaded by the Brits since the 1960’s, thus attracting the worst kind of cheap English tourism available via holiday packs, all inclusive hotels and night bars and discos.

According to the Independent Language Newspaper with local, national and international news, The Tenerife News, Arona and Adeje (the most important municipalities of the South of Tenerife) “need to get round the table to discuss the future nightlife of South of Tenerife, Canary Islands”.

It is the call from local residents, politicians, hoteliers, planners and industrialists, knowing that the southern offer is reducing itself to cheap hotels and drinks, plus extremely expensive prostitution clubs or intensively dangerous african prostitutes on the streets. This kind of environment only attract youngsters that want to have fun in a paradisiacal place full of beaches, sun and party. But this is not enough.

According to the fortnightly newspaper “there is a growing feeling in the south that there is not enough nightlife to keep people amused although it is understood that just as many holiday makers prefer a quieter evening”.

The aim and objective is to try and make the older people happier. Not only the poor old tourists who come here to relax but the local residents who are just fed up with the every night noise.

“Traders say something has to be done about the delay in opening licences which can take six to seven years. They claim that because of this, around 70 percent of the establishments in Playa de las Americas do not have the proper licences”, says the tabloid.

Apart from the licenses we all know that the public transport should improve, money should be expent in protecting the islands and in encouraging tourists to vist the north and its attractions, the real good part of Tenerife, the one that most tourist don’t get to see because they only come for partying and sun bathing.

When even the better tourists make huge claims about their horrible stay in the island, you know it is time to get moving, solving problems, listen to their petitions and start educating the locals so that they understand that without tourism we couldn’t live, and so we must treat them well and encourage them to come back.
