“Therefore to be hated we are in the semesterparadisen”
“Amsterdam, Mallorca, Barcelona and many more”
“Higher tourist taxes, entrance fees and demonstrations, in protest against mass tourism. “
“We are often told that they live on their tourism, and often we see perhaps our presence as a handout to the locals. “
“This is the reason why they want to get rid of us. “
“Amsterdam has raised its tourist tax, fewer cruise ships may dock at Dubrovnik and Barcelona are the locals so tired of nöjesbesökare to a tourist bus äggades during a demonstration. “
“Why do so many big cities and on stop the the the industry which is said to keep them on the legs? “
“the Experts explain it with a parable: ”imagine that the whole of Stockholm is transformed into the ‘Old town’. “
“the Locals receive no housing”
” Usually, it is about the social sustainability. In Barcelona, for example, it has become difficult for the locals to get hold of the apartments to the tourist industry takes over them by, for example, Airbnb, says Erik Lundberg, researcher at the centre for tourism, Gothenburg university. “
“A tourist will often drop on the hämningarna and may not stop up and examines his own behavior during the holidays, which can go the inhabitants of the nerves.”
“– As a tourist act in a different way than how you do at home. You become more and more hedonistic, you are out late, drink more, and perhaps for the more life of you. When it reaches a certain limit, it will be tough for the population. “
“the Benefit is not always the economy”
“We tourists will pardon our contributing to the exploitation by saying ”they had gone in without tourism”. “
“But according to Erik Lundberg it is not so simple. “
“– It draws in money but it is not everyone who will take part of it. Research shows that the type of jobs tourism creates are often quite insecure and low-paid. “
“In the chartergenren there is talk of ”enklavturism” which means that the money people spend many times do not go to the local industry. “
“– The positive economic effects may not always spread. Tourists stay in the area where they live and consume their money there. Often it is a few large companies that control the entire chain. It will be very much leakage. Ving may own both the hotel and the restaurants and so on. There is much that does not stop at the destination. “
“Are the new taxes and regulations are an effective way to bring down the turisttalet?”
” the Knowledge that the locals have these feelings and that it will be expensive it can safely operate. The destinations are very interchangeable a lot of times, it becomes more expensive to go to Barcelona would certainly many settle with Paris instead. “
“More people can afford to travel.”
“According to the World tourist organization is utlandsresenärerna today, twice as many as the year 2000, and four times as many as in 1980. “
“Per J Andersson, editor-in-chief at travel magazine Vagabond, has followed resebranschens development in decades. “
” the Declaration is not only that we in the west have begun to travel more, but also the arrival of new countries where wellbeing has increased so much that the middle class can go on to go abroad. It is, above all, China, India and south Korea. “
“”Spread out tourism expenditure””
“Andersson thinks that you as a traveler should ask yourself if there is something equivalent to less exploited destinations the next time you want to go on a Venice weekend break or holiday in the sun in Palma. “
“– after all, It is a very important income for many people in the world. Then it is good to not bet everything on a few places. It is often nicer, too. One might wonder if there is something similar destinations, you may be able to take Spain’s third largest city Valencia instead of Barcelona. “
