In recent months, there has been a growing discontent among residents of Malaga and Cadiz over the negative effects of mass tourism on their housing market. The uncontrolled influx of travelers has led to rising housing prices and a shortage of available properties in these popular tourist destinations. This has caused concerns about sustainability and the need to find a balance between economic benefits and the well-being of local communities.
Similar protests have been seen in other parts of Spain, including Palma de Mallorca and the Canary Islands. Despite the benefits that tourism brings to the Spanish economy, with it representing nearly 13 percent of the gross domestic product, there is a growing concern over its impact on local residents. In 2023, Spain welcomed a staggering 126 million tourists, which is three times the total national population and 20 million more than the previous year. This rapid growth in tourism has raised concerns about sustainability and the need to find a balance between economic benefits and the well-being of local communities.
