Spain had 96.8 million tourists last year. This is a record high. It is up 3.2% from the year before.

In the first six months of this year, 46.57 million people visited Spain. This is up 4.6% from last year.

People who live in popular areas are worried about too many tourists and high house prices.

Last year, many people protested against mass tourism in popular areas.

Some people say they can no longer afford holidays in their own areas.

City centers are especially affected by short-term rentals and high rents.

The tourism ministry wants to make tourism more sustainable and reduce social and environmental pressures.

Some cities have limited short-term rentals and made rules for visitors to follow local customs.

The tourism minister says sending tourists to lesser-known areas can help reduce overcrowding.

He wants regional governments to manage tourism to meet growing demand.
