"Tourists Are No Longer Welcome: The Backlash Against Overtourism"

  • Summary

  • A growing number of Europeans are expressing frustration and resentment towards tourists, citing the negative impact of mass tourism on their communities and environments. From Venice to Barcelona, locals are protesting against the influx of visitors, and authorities are responding with measures such as tourist taxes, fines, and entry fees. The protests in Mallorca, where 20,000 people rallied against overtourism, and the introduction of tourist taxes in Venice, which generated $2.2 million in a single day, are just a few examples of the backlash against tourists. The narrative emerging is that tourists are no longer welcome in many European destinations, and that locals are taking a stand against the negative consequences of mass tourism.
