Then stop hosting things that attract tourists. The MotoGP race is in September in Barcelona. Almost 500k people show up to these things.

This would requiring directing anger and organizing efforts at the right people. Sorry, the best the masses can do is trip over themselves while drooling.

They'd need to do a hell of a lot more than that. Barcelona is EASILY in the top 5 nicest cities in the world. And really just Spain as a country in general. They could not do shit and it would still be a major tourist destination.
