British tourists being told to go home feels quite good.

Over 20,000 people protested in Mallorca against mass tourism, which locals claim has increased housing costs and strained public services. Similar protests have occurred across mainland Spain. The demonstrations particularly target British tourists, who made 17 million visits to Spain in 2023. The protests aim to pressure the government to regulate tourism more effectively. The article notes that tourism contributes 11.7% to Spain’s GDP, underscoring the economic impact of these protests.
