Spain Introduces Three-Year "Tourist Ban," Here’s What It Is | Firstpost America | N18G

Spain is introducing measures to curb overtourism, with cities like Malaga and Barcelona implementing strict regulations on short-term rentals to address overcrowding, water use, and rising rent prices. The sky-high rent has forced many locals out of their neighbourhoods. Malaga has banned new vacation rental properties in 43 neighbourhoods, while Barcelona plans to phase out 10,000 short-term rentals by 2028. The move aims to protect affordable housing for locals, while still allowing tourists to visit hotels and other accommodations. Despite the ban on vacation rentals, Spain remains a top destination for travellers, balancing tourism with the needs of its residents.
