Spain is on track to record its highest number of international tourists ever, with a projected 95 million visitors in 2024, significantly up from last year's 85.1 million.
The protests against mass tourism, which have spread across popular destinations in Spain, highlight the ongoing struggle to balance economic benefits versus local community well-being amid tourism recovery.
Despite protests, the influx of tourists continues unabated, with estimates suggesting 74.2 million foreign travelers will have visited Spain in just nine months of 2024.
The tourism sector's revenue, which has doubled in the past decade, presents a critical economic opportunity, yet the challenges of overtourism are increasingly evident across the country.
