He emphasizes that tourists are generally welcomed and that tourism is crucial for the local economy, providing significant revenue and jobs. John suggests that the protests stem more from local issues like the lack of affordable housing, which he attributes to the government's failure to build such housing rather than the presence of tourists.&amp;nbsp; The conversation also touches on the Spanish government's efforts to regulate tourist rentals. John believes that the main goal is to ensure that tourist rentals are licensed and taxed properly, rather than to limit them outright. He advises potential buyers of holiday homes in Fuerteventura to apply for a tourist rental license to maintain flexibility and potentially increase their property's value. John also mentions the influence of hotels in this regulatory landscape, drawing a parallel to the competition between Uber and traditional taxis.&amp;nbsp; Overall, John reassures listeners that the islands remain a welcoming and safe destination for tourists.&amp;nbsp; https://goldacreestates.com/ Kyero Estate Agents Podcasts https://www.kyero.com/join <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/32772997/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/176983482
