People have been protesting in Spain against tourism claiming that locals are not benefiting from it, reported BBC.
They are alleging that cost of living is skyrocketing due to tourists visiting the country in large numbers.
Sonia Ruiz, who lives in Mallorca, said that she was having difficulty to find a place to live with her son as many homes had been bought up by foreign visitors or rented out to tourists at prices she could not afford.
In Barcelona, a fortnight ago, locals sprayed water on tourists using toy guns as they chanting 鈥楪et out of our streets鈥�.
Pere Joan Femenia, an activist of Less Tourism, More Life, is scheduled organise a demonstration against tourism this week.
He wants a limit on visitor numbers and rejects the claim that tourism brings great wealth to the locals.
He alleged that the money spent by tourists went to 鈥榚conomic powers鈥� rather than common people.
