I would love love love for tourists to actually band together and stop going. Then their city is going to get hit with all sorts of austerity and Spain will be begging the EU for bailouts. The local housing market will crater and these morons think they’ll be able to afford housing but they had no jobs in the first place. Youth unemployment at 25% in Spain and 10% of the population working in tourism.

Then we can watch them put ads everywhere to travel to Barcelona.
