The warning to UK tourists comes as shutters over shop fronts in Athens have been covered with graffiti that says: 'No more tourism,' as panic and tension sweeps Spain too
Locals in Greece are up in arms over the perceived "overtourism" by Brits. Shop fronts in Athens have been defaced with graffiti reading: "No more tourism," as a wave of unease also sweeps across Spanish holiday hotspots - from Lanzarote and Tenerife to Majorca.
"Each visitor brings €0.40 to the city, and we haven't seen this money yet," Mayor Harris Doukas told Euronews. "We need sustainable tourism that doesn't exacerbate city inequalities.", reports Birmingham Live. "The socio-cultural impact in urban areas is significant, tourists are displacing long-term residents and altering the character of the neighbourhoods. The housing issue has become explosive," stated the Ombudsman in a report on sustainable tourism.
