Is Spain imposing a tourist ban this year? What we know so far Spain received over 90 million foreign visitors last year
This year, thousands of British people will be organizing trips to Spain. According to data from Euro Weekly News, Spain received over 90 million foreign visitors last year, with the majority of its international air travelers coming from the UK.
However, in 2024, tourism led to conflict between locals at well-known vacation spots in mainland Spain, the Balearics, and the Canary Islands.
Residents of popular tourist locations including Tenerife, Majorca, and Barcelona staged protests throughout the year to voice their worries about the effects of tourists on the environment, infrastructure, and cost of housing.
Responding to the demonstrations, local governments have declared a number of actions to address the problem, such as raising tourist charges and imposing restrictions on short-term vacation rentals.

In well-known Spanish destinations, housing in particular is a significant issue. There are now fewer houses available for locals to rent or purchase due to the rise in short-term vacation rentals, which has also raised rental prices.
When Spain’s prime minister announced plans to raise property taxes for non-EU buyers, who may face up to 100% in taxes, the matter made headlines. The purpose of the proposed proposals is to free up housing stock and stop foreign buyers from buying real estate without intending to occupy it.
