In Spain the issue is not the behavior of the tourist but more of a housing prices.
Airbnb are raising the housing prices to the roof because they noticed tourists will pay whatever they put in if they can afford them, so less houses are available to live in and they cost waaay more now, resulting in many local unable to keep living in the city, not out of a lack of housing (even though thats a separate issue) but out of the fact that this housing is no longer there for living but to rent to tourists and that caused the rise in prices on the few that are there for living.
It feels as if the locals are being kicked out of their city because the politicians, landlords and the whole structure of the city with the businesses is less and less aimed at people living at the city and more and more aimed at welcoming and catering to tourists because they bring it big bucks… which causes a huge disdain among the lower and middle class citizens that do not directly benefit from tourism in any way.
If you come to Spain i beg of you to NEVER rent an airbnb and instead go to a hotel.

Well they did get the Sun dropped on them. They earned a little wiggle room, kinda like Israel. Just let them do what they do

I don’t know if something else happened. So correct me if I’m wrong. But as far as my knowledge goes, Japan is doing it better:
Spain has its people going in the streets manifesting against tourists because of the AirBnB business –> not the tourist faults, the anger should be redirected to the government instead. They should be the one doing something about this, tourists (as long as they’re respectful of course) just want to visit the country.
While in Japan, last I’ve heard was about some place being shut down because tourists were acting like assholes. Government is acting on it, forbidding assholes to ruin the country for its inhabitants. It wouldn’t be a fair comparison even if Japanese people were manifesting in the street against tourism, because in that case, tourists are being disrespectful.
I understand that some of you will say it’s disrespectful to rent an AirBnB in Spain if you know the situation. But you have to keep in mind 2 things :
1. Not everyone knows what’s happening.
2. If it’s done legally, and it’s not some shady shit done by the tourist and the AirBnB owner, then why would it be the tourist’s fault?
