lesson eight too much of a good thing
over tourism in Barcelona
in this busy European city large groups
of tourists are everywhere they overflow
the sidewalks and streets taking
pictures at landmarks like the Sagrada
Familia and crowding narrow passageways
leading to markets
the city in question is Barcelona Spain
which each year receives more than 15
times as many visitors as its actual
population
Barcelona is suffering from a phenomenon
called over tourism
this occurs when an attraction becomes
overrun with tourists to such an extent
that the local resident's quality of
life declines dramatically
[Music]
the 1992 Olympics put Barcelona on the
tourist map and soon afterward the
number of tourists flocking to the city
began to increase
in 2017 the number of annual visitors to
Barcelona grew to almost five times as
large as that in 1992
as expected local hotels and businesses
benefited from this expansion of Tourism
however the city's residents had to bear
the cost
this Invasion by visitors has resulted
in various problems
complaints about problems caused by
thoughtless visitors are common
these people have no respect for others
they play Loud Music late at night and
throw garbage all over the place said
Emilio Shasta a local who has lived in
Barcelona his entire life
residents are also fed up with some
visitors inappropriate behavior such as
urinating and throwing up on streets
outside nightclubs
furthermore some local tenants have even
been forced to leave their Apartments
because landlords are partial to renting
their places out through Airbnb in this
way landlords can make more money by
charging tourists higher nightly rents
as stated by Lucia trebosini the head of
a Barcelona neighborhood association
many residents of this area are so sick
and tired of tourists that they have
decided to leave even I myself am also
considering that option
good news is that City officials are
keenly aware of all these complaints
they believe that only by introducing
practical measures can the impact of
over tourism be reduced
such measures include putting limits on
the number of people who can visit
certain hot spots at a time and banning
large tour groups in particularly
popular areas
the city is also restricted the
development of new hotels and ordered
that websites like Airbnb take down
their listings of guest houses that are
not licensed
finally the government has come up with
a thorough plan that concentrates Less
on promotion and more on tourism
management
it has been said that tourism is a
double-edged sword
on the one hand tourism provides local
business owners with great economic
benefits on the other hand it disturbs
the lives of local residents and can
cause numerous social problems
clearly Barcelona is striving to deal
with the negative aspects of Tourism and
is acting to strike a balance between
the local community and international
visitors
only after the authorities have
developed Sustainable Solutions will
over tourism be manageable and stop
causing problems in society
