European Cities Protest Against Mass Tourism

Karachi has been ranked as the second most dangerous city for tourists according to Forbes Advisor, following Caracas, primarily due to high crime rates, violence, and political instability. The city, along with others like Yangon and Dhaka, faces significant personal security threats, leading the US State Department to issue a 'Level 3' travel advisory. Meanwhile, in Europe, anti-tourism protests have erupted across cities such as Barcelona and Mallorca, where locals blame mass tourism for rising rents and housing shortages. Demonstrators have taken extreme measures, including using water pistols to express their discontent towards tourists. Many cities are now considering regulations to limit tourist numbers and protect local communities. This anti-tourism sentiment reflects a growing tension between preserving local living conditions and the economic benefits of tourism.
