I find it interesting that the headline refers to Europeans in general, rather than specifying which regions, in particular, are struggling with mass tourism.
I’m about halfway through a 6 week wander around Europe. Did one last year too. Been in major tourist spots and small towns. Everywhere, people have been nice and welcoming. Nobody seems to want me to go home.
I wonder if the people standing up for immigrants will also stand up for the tourists.
I think Airbnb has fucked everything up. Before the was a natural limit on tourism with availability of places to stay. Now everyone and their dog rent out houses and rooms to tourists overloading the cities. On top of that locals can’t find reasonable prices houses anymore.
A couple of cities started implementing measures.
Fluff nothing burger article.
Most people want tourism as it boosts jobs and the economy.
The problems with housing are not because of tourists it’s because of shady practices of apps like air bnb that need to be heavily regulated.
Most of it’s been driven by AirBnB causing tourism to compete with housing, and that’s happening in a lot of cities.
The reluctance to regulate it, when it wasn’t even a thing not so many years ago, is remarkable. It’s like the tech companies have everyone over a barrel thinking that they’re indispensable.
We need to get back to tourism mostly being in hotels and properly regulated tourism accommodation – cities and towns could plan. That’s what we had for a very long time. I don’t see why these appified disruptors get a free pass.
Open xenophobia, but the “good kind”.
I find France more welcoming then España. I think it is also partly because more expats more to España than France. It is not just a tourist issue.
>Barcelona, with 1.6 million residents, receives approximately 32 million visitors annually, amplifying existing pressures on housing, infrastructure, and daily life.
That explains it
The issues are not with tourists, but with a select few of the ruling class reaping the benefits.
Mass-owners of housing are at fault, not the tourists.
These companies and rich people want their short term profit, even jf it kills the very thing that attracts the tourists in the first place. So what do they do? Force media to shift the attention onto the tourists being at fault, when the whole thing could be solved with city-planning regulation prohibiting short-term renting beyond a certain percentage.
Places where tourism is the main thing keeping cities alive; ” tourists must go home, we don’t want them anymore ”
2 years later; ” there are no jobs in my city. Since the tourists left it all went to shit… we didn’t vote for THAT”
I still tink if you are a homeowner renting your grandma’s place, then you should have fuck all to say to stop me frankly. But being a business that buy and builds tens of property that then takes away from the local home pool and massively inflates prices is a whole new level.
Without super cheap flights Airbnd wouldn’t exist, to go by train to the Algarve in three it took me 3 days, two nights of travel. The problem is that everyone wants cheap flights to go to the cities they like but no one wants tourists in their city. Let’s go back to the flight prices of the 90s and tourists will decrease
