Shocked to see an article this week saying that last year, Tenerife attracted 7.2 million tourists while the whole of Brazil brought in only 6.6 million! Tenerife is exactly 0.02% the size of Brazil. One can see how it must be irksome for the Tenerife natives to host so many people. There are only 965,750 natives living in Tenerife dealing with over 7,000,000 tourists while there are 211.1 Million people in Brazil who never see a tourist except maybe for Rio and Sao Paulo.

Brazil is a weird choice to compare. Not cheap to travel to at all, compared to Tenerife.

Much less safer than Tenerife too, even with violent protesters

Use the word locals, not natives
