You don't even have to look too far, locals in Devon and Cornwall dislike tourists also. Traffic being one issue.Spain overrun with Brit's trying to escape the UK
Spanish resorts overrun with tourists
- Thread starter bainbridge
- Start date
A lot of the disdain is towards cruise ships as well, in Barcelona and other places. Some recent articles from my favourite local news website, in English.

I totally understand regards to housing and rent prices. I know a lot of people who feel strongly about it, albeit not enough to go to demos. Happens in many cities tbh. Not sure what the solution is. Firing water pistols and chanting at tourists isn't the solution though.

It messes up their emissions planning no doubt. When you have large transitory populations for 60% of the year and then hardly any. It reduces some places to ghost towns in the winter, personally I would hate it too.

Lucky we voted Brexit to make it easier for them. Where is that headslap emoji.Spain overrun with Brit's trying to escape the UK
People are just fed up with their countries being overrun whether it’s tourists or immigrants
That's just you and your ilk, don't project that upon everyone else. Even in the article the people organising the protests say
Me and my ilk represent a large and fast growing percentage of the population.
Indeed, plenty of idiots about these days.
That's one way to describe a minority.
Tourism sustainability concerns by age UK 2021 | Statista
In 2021, the level of concern for tourism sustainability issues in the United Kingdom varied by age group.
www.statista.com
And those concerns are about environmental sustainability and (lack of) benefit to the locals. Nothing about "being overrun by the numbers of tourists".
Are you a Royalist btw?
More like a silent majority drowned out by the vocal minority.
Easily recognised as they are the ones throwing the insults.
Nah, that's just in your head
Or maybe thinking its a minority is in your head?
Or, I've provided data to show the type and amount of the UKs concerns on tourism and you've.....got nothing but your own prejudices and imagination.

I think if people can't see where the actual problems lie, rather than what the populists say, then the above is true, it's not an insult, just an observation.

Every piece of holiday accommodation in France should be paying Tax de Séjour for each night a guest stays there. Holiday booking platforms often pay directly to French tax agencies as they take the guest’s money.
It doesn’t matter what country the tourist lives in.
Exceptions are for government employees and contractors working in the area.
Don't tell Robj20, he won't be able to sleep tonight.
Personally, I have no issues with it and I don't think most people mind either.
