Thread: Tenerife is starting to sound like a value for money holiday destination again

Oh dear, oh dear, that means even more football shirts, tattoos, Sun readers and crap karaoke singers will be on the Island.

I was rather hoping that it would be going "up-market" a bit.

Providing goods and services up to a standard, rather than down to a price.

You just don't get it do you?
Tenerife is more than big enough to accommodate every type of tourist, wherever they be working,middle or upper class there is something to attract everybody.
Remember it is the tattoo'd football shirt wearing Sun readers who first boosted Tenerife's economy enough to turn it into the top class holiday resort it is now,and those who sneer at it really do need to remove their heads from where the sun don't shine!!

yes and with The Sun being printed and distributed daily................

I agree Doreen . We all need to work together without all the normal British Negativity and also jealousy , which unfortunatley the Brits do suffer from .
We all need people to come here as the Island has nothing else but tourism and if people don't spend money here we are ALL affected even if we aren't directly involved in tourism our selves .
I think there are some people also who are very scared but too scared to admit it that they are worried about their businesses too , (stiff upper lip and all,) but I think it shows how strong you are to be honest if you admit this as I feel every one at the moment is scared especially bar owners to be honest as they are on the front line so to speak.
A Brit said to me the other day we are all doomed because the weather in the UK is so good no one will go away .
(Maybe we should all do a collective Rain dance for the UK lol .)
I feel as I have said before the more we support and use each others services and Spend , the sooner things will turn around but I think people are too scared to spend at the Mo.
What is wrong with a football shirt by the way ?? Is that snobbery I wonder.

Tenerife can be both cheap and expensive, it all depends on the package that you buy. Some people prefer basic accomodation and more spending money, other people prefer the opposite. Fortunatley the Island can happily cater for both ends of the spectrum.
