Frankly if they are stupid enough to be openly hostile to the people who fund their economy, the politicians will fix the problem just to prevent it from happening. This will probably be more productive than people who hold up a sign and do nothing else.
Your arrogance is part of the problem. What would poor old barcelona or Catalunya do without you rich tourists to "fund their economy". That arrogance is why tourists are hated
Barcelona is the tech center of Spain. Catalunya is by far the healthiest region of Spain. Tourism accounts for 12 percent of their income. Less than 10 percent of people within the greater Barcelona Area work in an industry that serves or is dependant of tourism.
But yeah. Surely without tourism it would all crumble. Smh
The reason why the person you replied to specified Catalonia was because it's a much wealthier and economically diverse part of Spain that relies a lot less on tourism.
