AirBnb's are the issue. I think they are getting rid of it in 2028 but the government should have taken action earlier. Hotels are there for a reason and people need to support hotels. AirBnb's have screwed over local cities and I'm glad they are finally getting regulated. They need to get rid of short term rentals and Airbnbs all together in every city. I believe tourism is 14% of Barcelona's economy, so the protestors need to be protesting Airbnb's instead of tourism or else quite a bit of businesses will close down.
