I sometimes click on negative headlines/titles out of interest but tbh i'm always wary of stuff like that, so many businesses can be badly impacted by negative headlines cos unfortunately a lot of people can be taken in by them.
When I went to Tenerife last September the Spanish locals were very respectful. It's a beautiful place with beautiful weather. Regarding the UK media is DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING. Andrew, you speak honestly and you're the real deal. Keep up the content dude. 😎👍💯
Love those people behind litter picking! Been coming to Tenerife since I was a baby every year for 32 years and I do agree that people need to be mindful that it’s someone’s home and has a beautiful culture not to ruin that, sure it’s not everyone. Small town news headline to scare people into not going anywhere. Thanks for sharing the link might offer some time next year love to see some content like this!
We don’t seem to get any negative news here in Ireland regarding any of the things you have mentioned , we love Tenerife so much it’ll always be our second home ♥️ thank you for the very informative article
Wow that's crazy, I really hope people ain't taken in by those negative clickbait headlines and yep it's the way the headlines are worded, it can cause mass panic. Canary green 💚I absolutely love this cos i'm big on sustainability, those lovely people that clean up the beaches are just awesome, I think it's fantastic. Great video Andrew 👍
I'm coming out at the end of April. Whatever rubbish is published in papers or the news, and I'm gonna enjoy myself. Hopefully, everyone feels the same.
I take all these stories with a pinch of salt and always look to yourself and other bloggers who live there for the ral story.....Keep doing what you do......x
It's rediculous how these papers get away with these rumors, we love tenerife and will always be there while we're able. Aged 70 and 76 it's our getaway holiday,, ❤❤❤
Well said Andrew! Even for Tenerife lovers the headlines can be a bit unsettling, it won't stop us coming back but it might for some people. The reality is that its still a great place to visit for some lovely weather and relaxed vibe
There is an undertone though, particularly towards the Brits that we are not welcome. Or at least welcome in the numbers that head towards Spain in general. Brexit doesn't help
@ i won’t be asking anyone thanks. I’m basing it on my own experience. There is over tourism in certain hot spots which is affecting housing, infrastructure & changing the make up of a place. Too much of a good thing is too much. The story evolves I’m afraid
Thank you, I wouldn’t give these fake news reports your valuable time. We love it, when you show us around and remind us of what a wonderful island Tenerife is. Don’t give them air time they are not worth it, you look after Laura she is the one we care about as we do you. I could use more colourful language to describe these negative new reports, but I would not reduce my self to their level. Cockroaches are everywhere they are a part of life🤣🤣🤣
Andrew, problem is the UK is in a shambles at the minute and desperately needs us to spend cash in our own country to help the economy. Here is Scotland its pot holes everywhere and my city now is introducing the tourist tax… I get that as the more tourists the more you need to spend on things like cleaning and all public sector services. Tenerife to us is fantastic twice a year for many years and we ain’t going to stop ☀️
Personally that’s not gonna stop us going. But the prices are I think gonna priced out of Tenerife compared to other resorts prices are getting ridiculous imo.
Been to Tenerife now around 25 times, I have never seen or heard anything here that would stop me coming, in fact me and my husband would come more often if we could, can't get enough of the place.xx❤❤❤😎🌞😎🌞
Andrew Knight for president of Tenerife. You are so, rightfully, passionate protective about the beautiful island of Tenerifes reputation. Well done you for vlogging this and putting things in prospective. . I come to Tenerife every year and always follow your vlogs for places to visit and helpful tips. Thanks Mr president of Tenerife. Xxxx
What about the locals issue with lack of housing on the island. Last year there were peaceful demonstrations over second homes etc leaving locals priced out. Is this being resolved?
We saw a cockroach when we were sitting outside the Highland Paddy last week, most got scared and stood up but I just picked it up and put it outside. They don't hurt you, some make nice pets too.👍
British media represent their culture overall. Inherently pessimistic and dramatic and the media feeds off of that sentiment. It’s typical British media. Many Brit’s complain the same way. Maybe because it’s always cloudy and rainy and because of that it creates a certain personality. And why Tenerife is a hotspot so people can escape that negative energy.
@@Moreno_Cubanito I disagree mate ,,the media in Britain and many other countries blatantly lie and in no way represent the majority of sentiments of normal working class people , the type of people who love getting away to places like Tenerife ,as a welcome break from everyday life and work for a week or two per year . This is reflected in diminishing newspaper and t.v. licences being bought , we no longer trust them to deliver balanced or truthful reporting on anything and surely this video demonstrates this , as the majority of comments go something like ; we’ve just come back from or we’re going anyway …..
But your national press says "We dont want you" & "you make our property prices too expensive for locals". But it's all Tenerife local owners who are so so greedy. So why not tell British to not go tothe Canaries. I remember when the island was crying out for tourists to come back.. so let's stop going for 2 years.
I have zero problems with or about safety on the island. Sure we need to take the standard precautions with pickpockets etc. And just keep an eye out for the over young drinkers and that's really it. The main areas are normally free of cockroaches. You mite see the odd one from time to time. I used to live up in Brisas del Mar near the mountains (Costa Adeje). There we had to keep the flat very clean. Not really a tourist area. And the local bin area was full of roaches.
Love your content but don't you think your title should have been something like, "Don't believe the reports in the British press" ? Many will have just read the headline and spread the mis information, this campaign has been going on for ages in the British right wing press, please don't help the liars.
Hi Andrew great video as always. My thoughts quite simply I don’t read or watch UK news because most of it false&depressing as you quite rightly say just click bait totally agree. I love Tenerife why I’m coming in April&May,we’ve had a lot of bad weather in UK recently maybe why UK press picking on Tenerife maybe saw your video of it raining there who knows when say negative things about Tenerife I know all false. Been twice absolutely love the island what it has to offer better than the YK anyway of the week thanks for reassuring us all everything fine👍
We have never been to Tennerife, but have had a holiday home for 20 years now in Alicante. We have same headlines in U.K. about Alicante. So glad Andrew you put straight these ridiculous headlines. We need more people saying the truth about these stories because a lot of people believe this rubbish x
Hi Andrew I never listen to news social media sharks Tenerife is great and there’s never the drama they put out there I think most people are the same 👍🏻
I am thinking of coming out to Tenerife end of October beginning of November this year for 8 to 10 days looking at staying at costa adeje or playa des americas with my mum as my dad just passed away last year, also I hold an Irish ☘️ passport so I come out on that if the spanish rules change anyway with entry
what you on about? he highlights the content of his videos, that ain't clickbait, it's called promoting your content, this is a great channel btw the content is always interesting and varied and Andrew is great at presenting it 👍that's why he gets loads of watchers on his livestreams, it's cos people love his channel.
uk media is rubbish they have to make content somehow, so they write and talk rubbish the bbc and other tv channels do it as well. Just question everything they say. Great video.
Absolutely, please don't believe what the gutter British press tells you. I have been holidaying there every year since 2011 and never been made to feel unwelcome. Of course, like anywhere there are places to avoid at night, like the Veronicas area. I have taken the time to speak to the Spanish that work in the hotels and live there, and they'll tell you exactly the truth, its affordable housing and the terrible wages that are the issue for them, Not the Brits.
The cockorach bit is true, i left two days esrly as i vould not stand the cockrosches in my hotel, the person st the check in desk said tenerfe has a cockroach problem. I would never go back there even if you paid me. Ps not saying this for all canaries just tenefire
I’ve just got back 2 hours ago from Tenerife, absolutely bull shit. The place is spotless. The people lovely, it’s all BS from the media. Not one bad thing I saw. Already booking to come back in September.
We were there last dec. We chat with locals and they said they got nothing against tourist especially brits but they got problems with govt. About housing to much holiday rentals that they want to control, majority of canarian no problem with tourist but there also few canarian who really hates tourist dec.13 early morning at playa los cristianos and arona beach chairs was vandalised some destroyed by this small group of radicals.
Tbh we only saw a few cockroaches outside the hotel but that was it we never had any issues I am over in May and September looking forward to coming back 😊
My sister said to me " .... they don't want us to be there" . By "us" she meant UK citizens, I had to spend ten minutes explaining all these things you have just highlighted, where and why these stories are generated and too what purpose is beyond me, well apart from generating money , anyway see you in three weeks 😀
QUESTION: Are you attracted to click negative headlines and titles? 🤔
I sometimes click on negative headlines/titles out of interest but tbh i'm always wary of stuff like that, so many businesses can be badly impacted by negative headlines cos unfortunately a lot of people can be taken in by them.
The algorithm seems to be set up to give me all the negative news for Tenerife.
@TheKnightStrider no , as I know its fake rubbish
I was attracted to this one
No Andrew
The only "Cockroaches" are the ones writing for these newpapers.
And your headlines are okay then, not click bait
Thanks for making it clear Andrew. Much appreciated. My wife and I love tenerife and will be staying in Las americas in April.
When I went to Tenerife last September the Spanish locals were very respectful. It's a beautiful place with beautiful weather.
Regarding the UK media is DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING.

Tenerife is the best Been multiple times with no problems such as this
We don’t seem to get any negative news here in Ireland regarding any of the things you have mentioned , we love Tenerife so much it’ll always be our second home ♥️ thank you for the very informative article
Wow that's crazy, I really hope people ain't taken in by those negative clickbait headlines and yep it's the way the headlines are worded, it can cause mass panic.

I don't take any notice of what I read i still come
I'm coming out at the end of April. Whatever rubbish is published in papers or the news, and I'm gonna enjoy myself. Hopefully, everyone feels the same.
There's a saying in the newspaper world " if you can't find a story, find one " think of Hillsborough. Enough said.
I take all these stories with a pinch of salt and always look to yourself and other bloggers who live there for the ral story.....Keep doing what you do......x
It's rediculous how these papers get away with these rumors, we love tenerife and will always be there while we're able. Aged 70 and 76 it's our getaway holiday,, ❤❤❤
👍
I also live here in Los Christianos. Only 100 metres away from this beautiful beach and I can confirm your comments 100 percent! ✌
I just got back, had no problem..
Had the best time in Tenerife been coming to Tenerife since 2014. English news just winds everyone up.
I've just been and booked my first holiday to Tenerife today for October 😂
We have lived in North Tenerife for 22 years. It is a wonderful place to live. Safe, fantastic weather, lovely people, great places to eat…..
Well said Andrew! Even for Tenerife lovers the headlines can be a bit unsettling, it won't stop us coming back but it might for some people. The reality is that its still a great place to visit for some lovely weather and relaxed vibe
Andrew you really would not want to mind these people.
Stride on .your doing great job with all the information you give us
Had a lovely holiday no cockroaches in hotel apartment . Went to see whale's. dolphins .volcano trip. Cheap food and drink. X
There is an undertone though, particularly towards the Brits that we are not welcome. Or at least welcome in the numbers that head towards Spain in general. Brexit doesn't help
Ask the taxi drivers, bus companies, hoteliers and restauranteurs if we are not welcome. End of story.
@ i won’t be asking anyone thanks. I’m basing it on my own experience. There is over tourism in certain hot spots which is affecting housing, infrastructure & changing the make up of a place. Too much of a good thing is too much. The story evolves I’m afraid
What a load of rubbish I’ve been there many many many times and I’ve seen nothing like that
Thanks for all the new updates, was fantastic to see people on the beach picking up the litter, sad that they have to do it though xx
Thanks for sharing Andrew 👍 ❤
Absolutely ridiculous
So you post a video moaning about clickbait , but use it to promote your video as clickbait 😳
It's a headline it's the British press that are out of order as usual
Thank you, I wouldn’t give these fake news reports your valuable time. We love it, when you show us around and remind us of what a wonderful island Tenerife is. Don’t give them air time they are not worth it, you look after Laura she is the one we care about as we do you.

Once again you are nailing the the truth.Andrew,keep it up.Tenerife ,millions of UK residents love you and appreciate you.Thank-you.
Thanks for that Andrew think I will take my chances and just try Tenerife one more time in may
Thank u ❤❤❤🎉🎉
Typical British press and the untruths they print .love Tenerife and can wait until three weeks time to visit once again .hope to see you in buddies
Personally that’s not gonna stop us going. But the prices are I think gonna priced out of Tenerife compared to other resorts prices are getting ridiculous imo.
Hi Andrew well done clearing that up , been coming to Tenerife for over 30 years coming bk out In March and September, for me best place on earth
Been to Tenerife now around 25 times, I have never seen or heard anything here that would stop me coming, in fact me and my husband would come more often if we could, can't get enough of the place.xx❤❤❤😎🌞😎🌞
Thanks, Andrew, for the update. I've never heard so much waffle anything for negative towards the island.
Media is evil everywhere. Looking forward to your 100K subscribers!

Back in the 80's there was alot more cockroaches . Now adays we rarely spot even one .
Bit like the notorious timeshare touts , they are long gone.
We saw a cockroach when we were sitting outside the Highland Paddy last week, most got scared and stood up but I just picked it up and put it outside.
They don't hurt you, some make nice pets too.👍
Coming tomorrow. Can't wait
It,s typical british media Andrew, they do it all the time and about lots of different things and worst of all our trusted (ha ha) bbc😂
Thanks for clearing this up Andrew. Its ridiculous these rumours. We will still be coming over on August. 👍
Very well explained and well said .
British media represent their culture overall. Inherently pessimistic and dramatic and the media feeds off of that sentiment. It’s typical British media. Many Brit’s complain the same way. Maybe because it’s always cloudy and rainy and because of that it creates a certain personality. And why Tenerife is a hotspot so people can escape that negative energy.
Anything pleasant to say? 😂

Cockroaches were bad 20 years ago mate.
I don't read anything from the so-called UK media. We need positivity in our lives, not poor grammar and negativity.
I’m so glad you are there to give us the truth

I'm currently on the last night of 4 in Los Abrigos. I've seen one cockroach in the place I'm staying (a hostel). Not the end of the world.
I see them all the time. Never take any notice.

10/10 for the lady litter picking the beach at 3.00
Out next month for two weeks, staying in Los Cristianos, been to Tenerife almost every year since 1982, needless to say I love it there.
Hi it is mason ❤❤😂😂🎉🎉
Hi Andrew great video as always.

Hi Andrew I never listen to news social media sharks

Ohh no!!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮

Rubbish. He’s a promoter of the island and give very helpful advice.
Our media are shocking like you say it’s just clickbait! We will be over twice this year we can’t wait buddies here we come 🌴🍹😎
So pathetic, those people have nothing else to do. Visit and see for yourself.😊
Hi Andrew we love Tenerife and it won't put us off coming over how's Laura eye we are very cold in Scotland
uk media is rubbish they have to make content somehow, so they write and talk rubbish the bbc and other tv channels do it as well. Just question everything they say. Great video.
Is Tenerife safe for British????

Well said Andrew brill
I visited Tenerife three times last year, absolute clap trap..
I'm back in May and cannot wait 😊
You are right Andrew they just seem to want to give out negative messages.
well said Andrew
In all the years I was in Tenerife I never saw a cockroach it’s a beautiful island well done Andrew
Don’t read the ‘newspapers’. It only encourages them to create more ‘news’ 😂
People making up these stories are crazy luckily for us who visit the island often we know exactly what the place is like it’s a beautiful place 😍
I came to Tenerife for the first time in September was home a week before I booked again 😂
No. We all know if there was anything going on you will let us all know.❤
How good is that those people are cleaning the beaches
Well done to family in background picking up rubbish
Wanted to relocate to Spain, but worried I won't be welcome.
Veronica’s at night in the 80s there was cockroaches everywhere . I hope the drains are sprayed better These days .
I keep away from all news thanks Andrew i don't take any notice ❤
I’ve just got back 2 hours ago from Tenerife, absolutely bull shit. The place is spotless. The people lovely, it’s all BS from the media. Not one bad thing I saw. Already booking to come back in September.
I have not read UK newspapers for over 20 + years. Rubbish journalism .
Hello Andrew
The Daily Mail is blaming Harry and Meghan.
We were there last dec. We chat with locals and they said they got nothing against tourist especially brits but they got problems with govt. About housing to much holiday rentals that they want to control, majority of canarian no problem with tourist but there also few canarian who really hates tourist dec.13 early morning at playa los cristianos and arona beach chairs was vandalised some destroyed by this small group of radicals.
Hi are there any changes to when we check in at hotels ?
Arriving on the 6th March.
Keep up with these information vlogs .
Thankyou
Tbh we only saw a few cockroaches outside the hotel but that was it we never had any issues I am over in May and September looking forward to coming back 😊

Won’t stop us coming!
My sister said to me " .... they don't want us to be there" . By "us" she meant UK citizens, I had to spend ten minutes explaining all these things you have just highlighted, where and why these stories are generated and too what purpose is beyond me, well apart from generating money , anyway see you in three weeks 😀
People will just go elsewhere
I read that it happened. i los abrigos after a fumigation, lol. This can happen anywhere, just bad timing.
Lots of Cañarían loves Brits coz majority of tourist were from UK
