Barcelona’s tourism board is replacing its 15-year-old slogan ‘Visit Barcelona’ with ‘This is Barcelona.’
Forget Spain. These under-the-radar countries actually want you to visit.

From protesters in Barcelona to large cruise ship bans and visitor taxes in Venice, the world's hottest destinations are making it clear that overtourism negatively impacts the quality of life for locals.
These cities simply don't have enough space and resources to accommodate millions of visitors. As a result, living costs increase, and residents deal with swarms of tourists in the streets just to get to work or run errands.
Massive crowds also make these destinations less enjoyable for travelers.
Tourists can instead opt for lesser-known destinations that actively seek to attract more visitors, which can help create jobs and boost local economies.

Mirai announces 18% increase in direct hotel sales share in Spain for summer 2024
The share of hotels sold via the direct channel in Spain increased by an average of 18% during the summer of 2024 over other channels thanks to the determination of the hoteliers to improve the profitability of the hotels again, according to data from Mirai. Although during the initial weeks of the UEFA Euro Cup 2024 sales growth slowed down, probably also due to the bad weather in Spain, in the last few days the company has observed that growth is picking up again. This rebound suggests a potentially very positive last-minute booking trend in most tourist destinations.
