Debate Over Travel in Spain

New efforts by officials in Spain to alter the profile of visitors have resulted in debate.

Spain is aiming to encourage longer stays and leisurely journeys through a recently launched marketing initiative.

The leader added that if a requirement for taking a vacation is wealth, that is "absolutely disgraceful".

Demands for Regulation in Tourism

The issues with too many visitors in Spain and other places were blamed on "unlicensed tourism" as opposed to established brands.
