Barcelona’s new approach to managing tourism involves reducing visitor numbers. According to [1], the city plans to implement measures such as limiting peak season visits and promoting local attractions over international ones. This strategy aims to lessen the environmental impact of tourism in Barcelona, which has seen a significant increase due to its popularity among tourists. José Antonio Donaire, who serves as the commissioner for sustainable tourism, is leading these efforts. [1] highlights that his goal is to "diminish the impact" of visitors on the city's infrastructure and environment. This approach contrasts with previous strategies where Barcelona has focused more on attracting international tourists rather than managing their numbers. However, some critics argue that such measures could negatively affect local businesses and the economy. [2] suggests that reducing tourist numbers might lead to a decrease in revenue for hotels, restaurants, and other tourism-related industries. Despite these concerns, Donaire insists that his plans are designed to ensure Barcelona remains a vibrant city while protecting its natural beauty and cultural heritage.
