Creator's Key Takeaways
The idea of mass tourism, not only in Barcelona, but around all of Europe, has been much more talked about.
It's not an idea of anti-ourist or anti-ourism. I think most people here would understand that you do need tourism, but there needs to be some sort of a balance.
Barcelona is a city with 1.7 million residents, but it had last year 15.5 million tourists that are coming in.
This is not something that is focused on tourists. This is something that is unfortunately falling on tourists as the protesters are trying to get a change in the system.
