I haven't been to Barcelona in 6 years. The last time I was there for business and it was awful. Hotels are bad and there's scammers everywhere. These people just make it risky to do anything- even business. On top of pickpockets and traffic... I don't want to get wet! What will they do for money? They could do like other more sensible heavily touristed areas and 1. Raise the tourist tax 2. Encourage high quality tourism rather than cruises and cheap holidays 3. Enforce existing zoning and noise laws.

I live in Barcelona. The tourism model is nost sustainable. We dont want it. You may disagree with the forms or strategies of protesting, but one thing is clear, we are being affected by this model, it is a nuisance to those of us who live here and people need to get some rest and not travel as much. There is an existential anxiety in this empty life that apparently drives people for an endless search of the new. It is pathological and when you consider that as a visitor you have an impact on the place that you visit, it should become clear that you are not only affecting positively your life by rtraveling but that your leisure has negative effects on our daily lives. We would rather have less people come and visit and develop an economic model that does not depend on tourism and that impoves tourism. In order to improve tourism, we have to balance the interests of certain social classes who are benefitted by the moneis tourists leave in the territory and the economic interests of businesses and of the city to maintain a proper permanent residents. The type of tourists who come here are cheap, mostly uneducated, do not have any visitor ethics, leave a huge amount of externalities (costs which are not taken into account and for WE the permanent residents have to pay for through our taxes), and are not even respectful of the local residents. We have this same problem in Puerto Rico, my place of origin, and over there we do not depend on tourism quite as much as in Spain. Spain needs to change its tourism model and stop marketing its tourism as a cheap destination for people to get drunk and eat subpar food bereft completely of all of its authenticity.

Hygienically they are very clean people and wash often. However, you have to decide what you are comfortable with. I am perfectly happy there as I feel the benefits outweigh the negatives but I don't expect it to be like a "first world " country. You have to decide what is right for you.

Why would anyone want to go to a place you are not welcome? There are so many Countries that welcome tourists around the World and people should go there.

Thank you. I just visited Barcelona for the first time last weekend on my way to visit my son who is living in Valencia for a marine science internship. The people there were so helpful and friendly! I've really fallen in love with Spain! I'm so glad I didn't experience this type of aggressive assault as a tourist. I live in Florida and my family has been there for generations. We are having the SAME struggles with AirBnB and home prices. These people act like they are the only ones who are affected by the negative effects of AirBnB and the affects on our livelihood and culture. At no point would I EVER consider treating guests to our country this way (or human beings in general!). I hope the people in this video don't ever even consider coming to Florida. They have no right to expect free and safe travel to our country when they behave like ANIMALS.

This is the current situation in Lisbon as well, people are done! Our governments are indeed who we should protest agains't primarily, but this is still good though to bring awareness to the tourists themselves as well. People are desperate! Responsible travel is a thing, Barcelona has been knowingly plagued by over-tourism for decades now, which is why people like me stay away from it. So the question is what's wrong with the people who, in also knowing that, continue to go? You can't keep telling us to be mad only at our governments when there is also an obvious lack of responsibility and accountability on your side. Just why do people keep visiting places that are known to be exhausted of over-tourism? What is the point exactly of walking through crowded streets and staying in over-priced accommodation?! To a sane person doing that is senseless. So don't jerk off your own lack of common sense and accountability just because the governments of these countries are also to blame, 'cause facts are that it all starts and ends with you, and the fact that you are the ones who keep choosing to travel to over-crowded places where you are no longer wanted by the locals. It's very easy to put everything on governments and not look at our own behavior and how it creates and contributes to most of the evils of this world. It's time to grow up, and stop looking for escape goats for our own reckless, selfish, self-serving, immature behavior.

blaming tourists instead of the Government is stupid. they ask for it well i hope no tourist visit Barcelona. it's theirs to lose anyways!

As someone who lives in Hawaii I totally understand the people of Barcelona. Tourists don’t respect the places they visit and it is incredibly expensive to live here as well. Most people don’t understand that the amount they spend on a vacation here is the amount it takes to raise a family here for a month, at just above poverty level.

True. The Europeans are too rich. They should not complain about inflation and poverty.

These people are SO SMART that instead of using a universal language like English on their signs they use their unique language that only local people can understand. They should protest against their local authorities that are not caring for their own people.

Complaining that your community is poor and then complains about the number one thing that makes money for your community that's genius.

What a stupid move. The tourist just went their becoz of advertisements. Blame your policies and government and business leaders. Showing hate on innocent tourist is totally moronic. Disgusting.

That’s not the fault of tourists. We are on vacation we are not buying all the houses.

Good. Speaking as an American, protect your nation, protect your way of life, nevermind how the press makes you look. Keep it up.

It’s NOT the tourism, it’s the fact that with more tourists comes a higher cost of living.

Portugal was always very welcoming, but it's also getting crazy in the main cities. It's impossible now to live here. I live in Porto and 10 years ago, I would go near the river and enjoy the sight (now it's for tourists and 180 families were expelled from living there because of foreign investment), we had a community that worked together and shared values, we had our wonderful Portuguese food, the rental prices were fair... now I can't even breath in the city, because of so much tourism. With that came more crime and violence, more drugs, higher prices, foreign investment and I don't recognize the city anymore. It looks like a themed park. That's the problem of most tourists that travel here. They come because now it's "cool" to come to Portugal and take pictures to post on social media, they don't know anything about the culture and prefer to go to Starbucks than local business, they are too loud, they go on little trains, tuk tuk's, bikes and normal people that need to work, take a long time to get to places, because of so much people here. Tourism is not the problem... mass tourism is. Portugal is beautiful from top to bottom and so many places to visit... why not try other places too? If you lived here you would be angry with this situation too. We all feel this and much more! Try and understand their side too, please.

I live 2 minutes from WDW, fla. It gets crazy traffic, and restaurants have wait times due to extra people vacationing in the surrounding cities. Locals are often stuck in massive traffic and in accidents due to others going down the wrong side of the road. Food in our grocery stores are devoured in mass losses. Sometimes, no eggs,bread,meats, etc... yet we welcome them.

I got to visit Barcelona in 1982 and this city stole my heart. It’s difficult to see this and to think I wouldn’t be welcomed back. But it seems like most protests it’s somewhat misdirected. They should be at their version of city hall. Squirting people with water is like defacing Stone Henge for environmental reasons. How tourism is being regulated and that money utilized or its affects on housing prices isn’t controlled by any tourist enjoying a meal in a restaurant. And if scenes like this scare off all tourism that will just cause different problems.

We went to Barcelona a few years ago. It was ok. Left the city and traveled to Monserrat an hour away. What a beautiful place. I would go there and forget the crime ridden city filled with pick pockets.
