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
TOURISTS OUT
WELFARE LEECHES IN
Sorry guys I think this may be our fault
They should be protesting the generation which is turning all of the boomer properties being passed down to Airbnb.
The next generation is not living in them or selling them, it’s not the tourists fault that they all got greedy as fuck.
So protest the property owners weirdos.. not us.
>Tourists get out!
>Hosts Olympics in 2024, 2026, and 2030.
Airbnb and a load of them treat Europe like it’s Disneyland. I get it’s expensive for them to come here and all and they want to do as much as possible but really I find it gross when they say “we spent two nights in Prague and then went to Berlin, and then Mallorca before going to Dublin and then on to Paris (in the accent), ooo la la croissant baguette”. Americans on the whole are also very loud.
Honestly I think the issues of mass tourism became apparent because more people are allowed and can afford to travel.
30 years ago only western Europeans and North Americans traveled to the tourist hotspots.
Eastern Europeans couldn’t because of the Iron Curtain and almost no Africans, Middle Easterners, Indians and Asians could afford it.
With lax visa restrictions, somewhat affordable air travel and less political travel regulations around the world the number of people that can visit other places have grown substantially.
Add Social Media into the mix and you get the current situation.
Airbnb and private rentals should be banned. If I can’t run a restaurant in my living room, why on earth can people rent their rooms like hotels?
AirBnb supports Trump, fwiw: [https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/airbnb-co-founder-speaks-why-143818564.html](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/airbnb-co-founder-speaks-why-143818564.html)
Lots of people on this comment section trying to justify them wanting to come here for cheap and not giving a rat’s ass for the well being of the people living in the cities they seem to be so interested on visiting. Talk about hypocrisy.
And before anyone says anything:
* The problem is not tourism, is mass tourism.
* It’s not „racism“, people don’t want tourists because they are too many, not because they are from other countries.
* The money they bring usually go to a few industries that pay like shit their employees and to people with already big pockets.
Every air bnb I’ve stayed at in Germany has some special instruction when you arrive, not in the listing. Separate the rubbish, squeegee the shower after each use, post it notes saying don’t open the curta8ns at night because the neighbours complain. Of course it’s a thing.
