💨 Abstract

Spain, a top holiday destination for British tourists, is facing backlash due to overcrowding and housing issues caused by mass tourism. Demonstrations have occurred in cities like Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca. Spain is implementing new tourist taxes and regulations. The Balearic Islands will see increased overnight charges, while Barcelona's tourist tax will double. Additionally, there are new rules on alcohol consumption, walking tours, and car access in certain areas to manage tourist behavior and preserve local life.
