Tourists Rush for Lounge Chairs at Tenerife Hotel Pool

A British tourist, Nick Hughes, recorded a crowded scene in front of a hotel pool on Tenerife. About 100 vacationers formed a line hours before the pool opened, some waiting over an hour. When the gate opened, the crowd surged forward, with people sprinting and laying towels to claim the most desirable lounge chairs.

The video was posted to TikTok and quickly spread online, prompting comments about the chaotic “battle” for sun‑bathing spots. Hughes told the Daily Mail that he had never seen such a rush, noting that the incident reflects a growing trend at many holiday resorts where guests compete for prime poolside seating.
