The America's Cup aims to attract quality tourism in Barcelona, with claims of generating 1 billion euros and creating 19,000 jobs, but concerns about local benefits remain.
Barcelona is attempting to shift its tourism focus towards affluent visitors while facing criticism that this approach may adversely affect local residents and their livelihoods.
Opponents question how the projected 1 billion economic impact will be distributed, expressing concerns over rising rents and the city's increasing dependency on tourism.
Local community organizations argue that recent tourism growth has led to an overtourism crisis, prompting protests and raising fears of further harm to residents.
