Spain and Italy have both introduced new measures to clamp down on tourists in the European Union nations
Brits are hastily cancelling their Spanish and Italian getaways as both countries tighten the reins on tourism. The new measures, which include tourist taxes in cities like Venice and Barcelona, have sparked outrage among UK holidaymakers.
One disgruntled traveller remarked: "It is a rather simple solution. Boycott holidays to Spain. They don't want the revenue that comes from the UK holidaymakers." Another vowed: "I will never go to Spain again," while a third warned: "They need to be careful what they wish for." Finally, one commenter summed up the sentiment: "Not a hard choice is it? Spend thousands to go where you are not welcome or choose a more friendly destination?" One individual expressed strong sentiments, declaring: "Boycott it as a holiday destination, they will soon be begging us back."
The situation prompted a heated response from another holidaymaker who insisted, "If it weren't for Britain Spain would collapse! " They further cautioned the country with a stern warning: "Carry on as you are Spain, and you will see a real dent in your tourism industry. Be careful what you wish for! ".
