Major city doubles its visitor tax to become one of highest amid overtourism concerns
Fox News
Hotel owners warn Barcelona's new tourism tax hike could "kill the goose that lays golden eggs" as the destination fights overtourism with higher fees.
"I don’t think this added expense is fair." Ashley J. DiMella is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
The change follows overcrowding concerns from local residents due to the high number of visitors and a shortage of affordable housing for native Spaniards.
Barcelona citizens held a large protest last summer, even spraying tourists with water guns, as Fox News Digital previously reported.
