  • Spain has established itself as a major global tourist destination, with increasing visitor numbers and plans for the opening of new hotels.
  • Tourism has a significant impact on Spain's economy, generating substantial revenue and employment.
  • Despite this, there's growing concern about the sustainability of tourism and its impact on quality of life, including housing cost and public space occupation.
  • Recent protests in the Canary Islands highlight the need to address these problems.
  • The growth of tourist rentals and the difficulties in accessing housing, especially for the young, further complicate the situation.

Conclusion: It's urgent to find consensual solutions to these challenges, balancing the economic benefit of tourism with the quality of life of residents and environmental impact.
