Ryanair forced to find new routes in face of Spanish holiday anger
Ryanair could be forced to find alternative holiday destinations after Europe was hit by mass anti-tourist riots by left-wing groups. The airline said they will look to “diversify” the routes they transport tourists along amid outbreaks of angry protests by disgruntled residents sick of their home towns and cities becoming tourist traps. Barcelona and other Spanish regions including San Sebastian and Mallorca saw the worst of the backlash against the supposed mass tourism affecting their local culture, as the country experienced a record 75.6m tourists just last year. During Wednesday, Ryanair was urged to promote "alternative destinations" and "decentralise tourism” to stem so-called tourism-phobia. It comes after the airline announced 5 new routes from Madrid starting next summer. <br/>
