With 1.5 billion international tourist arrivals in 2024, this summer marked a tipping point for many locals increasingly concerned about over tourism driving up housing costs, harming the environment and eroding the fabric of local communities and identities. But how justified are these concerns?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Receiving 32 million holidaymakers annually, Barcelona has become a symbol of local resistance against mass tourism this summer, with reports of locals squirting water guns at tourists eating at restaurants until they are forced to leave. Peter DeBrine, Unesco&#8217;s senior project officer for sustainable tourism, said, &#8216; what we\u2019re seeing is that we\u2019re breaching a threshold of tolerance in these destinations.\u2019 He said, \u2018It\u2019s really trying to rebalance the situation. It\u2019s totally out of balance now.\u2019 While the Tourism sector currently contributes to 14% of the city\u2019s GDP, employing 150,000 people and generating \u20ac12.75bn annually, the sector has significantly raised house prices. The average monthly salary in Barcelona is around \u20ac1,600-\u20ac2,000 after taxes, with the minimum wage close to \u20ac1,100. The average rental price in the city is \u20ac1,200 per month, an increase of 9.8% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br>Concerns of over tourism are poignant across Europe. Protests are taking place in Palma, Malaga, and Venice, and it is important to recognise that tourism does bring its advantages. Tourism generates 45% of the Balearic Islands\u2019 gross domestic product, with holiday makers spending \u20ac109 billion in Spain last year, compared to \u20ac63.5 billion in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br>Holiday destinations, such as the Maldives and Seychelles, were amongst the highest shares of GDP generated by travel in tourism in 2019, as tourism made up 10.4% of the global GDP that year. Revenue generated from tourism can support infrastructure development, including improved roads and transport links, while also funding cultural preservation, safeguarding heritage and fostering regional development. Additionally, it promotes growth in rural areas, helping to reduce economic inequality within countries. It has even had environment benefits, with countries such as Kenya benefiting from Wildlife tourism, which supports conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>So, why has tourism become such an issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Unfortunately, with the domination of social media and what the Guardian described as \u2018selfie-seekers,\u2019 many areas have suffered from overexposure. This creates an influx of visitors as influencer culture saturates viral and Instagrammable spots. The relaxation of lockdown restrictions also contributed further to the concerns over tourism. Whilst international tourism is still chasing pre-pandemic levels, with this year reaching 96% of pre-covid rates, perhaps we are forgetting what tourism really felt and looked like before the pandemic. With some countries, such as Denmark, promoting the concept of the sustainable tourist and the Barcelona mayor vowing to curb apartment rentals to tourists by 2028, it is evident that local\u2019s rejection of mass tourism reflects a growing awareness of its unsustainable impacts on communities, culture and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As destinations grapple with over tourism, the challenge lies in striking a balance between preserving local identity and reaping the economic benefits of tourism. Perhaps it\u2019s the manifesto of Anthony Bourdain to be \u2018a traveller, not a tourist\u2019 that we need to remember. While it brings back haunting memories of the stereotypical gap year student, there\u2019s some logic to his statement. Respecting at immersing oneself in the culture of the country they\u2019re visiting, should be the epicentre of what it means to be a tourist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Words by Lucy Gilder<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@andri_wyss\">Andri Wyss<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/\">Unsplash<\/a>.
