Major city launches harsh tourist crackdown as locals revolt over massive crowds
As European destinations continue their crackdown on overtourism, a popular city has declared, "Not one tourist more."
Barcelona, Spain, has emerged as one of Europe’s most forceful opponents of mass tourism in recent years. Now, the commissioner for sustainable tourism, José Antonio Donaire, is doubling down on the city's efforts to prevent overcrowding.
Cruise passengers visiting Barcelona for less than 12 hours could pay €30, or about $35, in combined taxes, according to Cruise Industry News.
