The article discusses the growing issue of overtourism in southern European destinations, where excessive tourist numbers are straining local infrastructure, services, and communities. Protests have erupted in popular tourist areas such as Barcelona, Mallorca, and Venice, with residents expressing frustration over rising housing costs, overcrowded public spaces, and increased pressure on transport systems. Demonstrations in Palma de Mallorca, including clashes between riot police and 25,000 protesters, highlight the escalating tensions. Slogans like 'tourists go home' and 'save Majorca' reflect locals' demands for reduced tourism intensity. The OECD report acknowledges growing resistance from residents, emphasizing the need for sustainable tourism practices to balance economic benefits with community well-being. Experts warn that without significant policy changes, such as diversifying tourist seasons and limiting visitor numbers, the strain on these regions will continue to worsen, threatening both cultural heritage and quality of life.
