Brad Ramirez+FollowBarcelona’s Tourist Backlash Is RealThinking of hitting Barcelona this summer? Locals are seriously over it—think water pistol protests and open letters telling tourists to stay away. With nearly 100 million visitors last year, the city’s charm is getting swapped for souvenir shops and global chains. Even the famous Rambla and beaches are now no-go zones for residents. The big question: is all this travel making every city feel the same? Maybe it’s time to rethink what we’re really looking for when we travel. #Barcelona #Overtourism #TravelTrends #LocalVoices #SustainableTravel #Travel517Share

Kevin Nicholson+FollowBibury Locals Say 'No' to More Tourists!Bibury, aka 'England’s prettiest village,' just shut down plans for a new car park because locals are over the tourist chaos. With up to 20,000 visitors on weekends, residents are fed up with gridlock and parking nightmares. The idea of 100 more cars and coachloads of people was just too much—so the plan got dropped after public pushback. Can you blame them for wanting to keep their village peaceful? #Bibury #Overtourism #TravelNews #Cotswolds #VillageLife #Transportation80Share
