A homeless man lives on the street in the centre of Barcelona on August 31, 2024. Mass tourism has caused the price of rental housing to rise dramatically, leaving many people unable to afford long-term rentals. Barcelona has spent years trying to strike a balance between promoting tourism ó which accounts for 14 per cent of the local economy and 150,000 jobs ó and keeping a lid on overcrowding. City officials halted new hotel construction seven years ago and capped the number of Airbnb licenses at around 10,000 in 2014. They also limited walking tours to groups of 20 and jacked up tourist taxes. The World Travel and Tourism Council has projected that tourism will generate a record US$11.1 trillion in economic activity this year, an increase of US$770-billion from 2023. The number of visitors to Spain climbed 13.3 per cent in the first half of the year to 42.5 million, putting the country on track for a record year.
