European Tourism Faces Protests and Severe Weather

Tourism hotspots across Europe are facing multiple challenges, including anti-tourism protests and severe weather conditions. In Spain, anti-tourism sentiment is growing with widespread protests and new regulations to manage the influx of tourists, particularly in cities like Barcelona and regions like the Canary Islands and Majorca. Meanwhile, Spain's east coast and Balearic Islands are bracing for severe storms with heavy rain, strong winds, and hail, posing significant risks to tourists and property. Greece and Albania are also grappling with the threat of wildfires; Greek residents have protested against the tourism boom, and authorities have issued fire risk warnings due to extreme temperatures and high winds. In Albania, British tourists are cautioned about the unpredictability of wildfires during the dry season. These issues underscore the growing tensions and risks in popular European tourist destinations.
