Anti-tourist zealots warn of ‘summer of surprise actions’ with protests ‘without a warning’ to spark chaos in Ibiza

Anti-tourist zealots have chillingly warned of a summer of "surprise actions" as they prepare to launch protests in Ibiza.

Protestors said many demonstrations and mass campaigns will be carried out "without warning" - something that could spark chaos in the Spanish holiday hotspot.

A growing anti-tourist movement has swept Spain in recent months

One plan targets a "welcome party" for cruise ship arrivals on July 24th that will be attended by thousands of passengers.

A major anti-tourism platform "Caviem el Rumb" is also planning a demonstration on Sunday to coincide with a similar event in the capital of Mallorca, where up to 10,000 people could take to the streets.

It is not known what the protestors intend to do but they are stressing they are not against tourism but the adverse effects it is having on Ibiza.

They have already handed out leaflets to tourists in various languages, including English, in a bid to spread the word and gain momentum.

Caviem el Rumb mentions excess tourism is only helping the rich whilst the poor in Ibiza suffer, especially due to the lack of affordable housing.

Spokespersons María Cardona and Karen Killeen said in a press conference that they are already working on organising a large demonstration that will be held on September 27 - in addition to the "surprises".

María read a manifesto delivered to Ibiza's council along with a request for the island to lead a "common reflection process" about the situation both Ibiza and neighbouring areas are going through due to excess tourism.
