Pressure continues to grow in popular European travel destinations for a response to the negative impacts of mass tourism.
This week the Czech capital, Prague, announced a ban on organised nighttime pub crawls.
It came a day after residents in Spain’s two biggest cities marched in protest against rising property prices amid housing shortages they blame on homes being used for short-term holiday lets.
Some 12,000 people marched in the Spanish capital, Madrid, under the slogan “Housing is a right, not a business”, while in Barcelona thousands took to the streets in protest against the city’s tourism-centric economic model, as well as the America’s Cup sailing competition it is hosting this year.
Prague city councillors said they had banned nighttime pub crawls organised by travel agencies because the city wanted to target “more cultured” tourists.
