Jane Jones, a Global Travel homeworker who recently left her assistant manager role at Hays Travel, revealed that, in the last few months, she had "a handful" of customers that were scared about getting attacked by protestors in destinations such as Tenerife.

"[To reassure anxious clients] we spoke to customers who had just been there and they told us they didn’t have any issues," Jones added. "All of those who were scared decided to go in the end."

Pole Travel manager Jill Waite said several customers, mainly elderly ones, have mentioned last year’s protests in recent weeks.
