W<\/span>ith the continent sweltering under a heatwave nicknamed Lucifer, tempers have been boiling over, too, as a wave of anti-tourism protests take place in some of Europe\u2019s most popular destinations. Yet, as \u201ctourism-phobia\u201d becomes a feature of the summer, the World Tourism Organisation\u00a0<\/em>(UNWTO)\u00a0<\/em>has defended the sector, calling on local authorities to do more to manage growth in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n

The focal point for much of this has been Spain<\/a>, which had a record 75.6 million tourists last year, including 17.8 million from the UK. In\u00a0Barcelona<\/a>, where tensions have been rising for years over the unchecked surge in visitors and\u00a0impact of sites such as Airbnb on the local housing market<\/a>, Arran, the youth wing of the radical CUP (Popular Unity Candidacy), have been filmed\u00a0slashing the tyres of rental bicycles and a tour bus<\/a>. An Arran spokesperson told the BBC: \u201cToday\u2019s model of tourism expels people from their neighbourhoods and harms the environment.\u201d Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy described the group as \u201cextremists\u201d.<\/p>\n
