Some 45% of Spaniards believe that central government should implement visitor quotas to control the flow of tourists in cities and 70% believe that stricter limits should be applied to tourist activities in protected areas, such as natural parks, according to a recent Evaneos survey. Respondents living in regions most affected by over-tourism go further with 50% believing that their local council should ban the construction of new tourist accommodation in already saturated areas.

Yes restrict tourism why don’t you? But many of those pleading with the government to sanction such, will also be holding out their hands for subsidies and financial benefits from the same government.
Using British maths, 45% would be an overwhelming majority 🇬🇧
The fundamental pillars of a certain European Union. 27 national population that is free to move , visit and settle anywhere in that block. Buy property and goods and enjoy those a fundamental human right. Tourists Eh.
And the other half own the tourist industry.
