Spain is experiencing a surge in anti-tourism protests due to the overwhelming influx of tourists, which has strained local residents' lives and driven up housing costs. With over 90 million tourists in 2024 and projections of 115 million by 2040, locals are demanding government action to regulate tourism. Protests include hunger strikes and demonstrations against the impact of tourism on housing and public services. Activists are calling for an end to the unchecked growth of the tourism industry, citing its detrimental effects on local communities and ecosystems.
