      Noooo not Italy too. I’ve avoided Spain because the nice parts are where all the protests are. Italy is my go to holiday destination, though certainly not in August.

      I wonder if russia is behind this. AI is bound to replace many current jobs, and the only jobs which are guaranteed to survive are the social ones. Tourism industry is mostly services, so tourism spots are bound to become golden spots for anyone who provides services, as they are one of the few ones who won’t get replaced by AI. And these people want to destroy it. Literal economic suicide. Who does it help? Certainly no one who’s local.

      Someone coordinated the protests across many different countries, which proves that this was some international-level actor, not a local grassroots movement.

      Besides, there’s a very simple and effective way to reduce the number of tourists without destroying the whole industry and the local economy, and that is raising the prices for the tourists (while giving large discounts to the locals), which makes these protests even more absurd.

      They need to take it up with their own governments.

      For all the national and regional tourism boards, their entire reason for existing, is to attract tourists.

      Don’t take it out on the tourists.

      Have a local political discussion about what other opportunities there are for employment, if the tourists disappear.

      It’s not a black and white issue. So simple, quick solutions won’t work.

      Or, if they sort of work, there’ll be unintended consequences.

      As Barcelona resident myself, I don’t think people would mind tourism that much if they had access to more affordable housing.

      More than a tourism problem there is a housing problem.

      Meanwhile here in Finland, especially outside Helsinki and a very few other tourism hotspots, we would very much like to have more tourists please. Let’s double the numbers of foreign visitors first and take it from there.

      I wonder how many of them are employed by the tourism industry

      I wish the same thing could happen in Greece, but unfortunately, Greeks would rather kill their mothers to turn their houses into Airbnbs rather than protest against tourism because the Greek economy is way too dependent on it.

      This headline doesnt seems right. Tourism is the bloodline for many of these countries and they targetted the tourist? Thats like shooting themselves on the foot! If cost of living is the issue like rentals, then their target should be the immigrantion problem in Europe, not the temporary tourist. Or they should encourage to ban airb&b culture and only allow hostels and hotels to control rental housing prices and improve public security.

      European cities should emulate Singapore by banning citizens to rent out apartments to foreigners staying less than 3 months.

      Government fault not tourists – lots of businesses wouldn’t survive without them

      this is 100% a housing problem and not a tourism problem.

      Isn’t this more about housing? Ban airbnb type services and stop firms and foreigners from buying property in major cities.

      💪 Finally. It’s time to push back on this madness. If you are from these places you know what the problem is. The rest of these comments are from people who either 1) don’t live in touristic places and have no idea 2) have some tourism and potential for more and think that this unsustainable garbage is the answer to their shit economies. Ridiculous. Go talk to the Venetians about the promises of tourism! Oh wait, you can’t because most of them don’t even live there anymore. Mortacci vostra….
