We want to hear from people across Europe who live in areas that experience high levels of tourism

Thousands of Mallorca residents have taken to the streets in protest against mass tourism this week in the latest show of anger against unsustainable numbers of visitors – part of a wave that has swept the Canary and Balearic islands as well as Barcelona.

Other tourist hotspots in Europe, such as Venice, have also seen protests this year.

We’d like to speak to people who live in cities and towns across Europe that receive a lot of tourism about the impact on their area. How has it changed and how do you feel about it? Have you been personally affected – and if so, how?

How do you feel about the use of tourist fees or taxes, such as the one introduced in Venice?
