Barcelona has removed a popular bus route from map applications to reduce tourist overcrowding at an iconic park, marking a further step in Spain's broader strategy to manage mass tourism. This move aligns with actions taken by other European cities, such as Amsterdam, which recently banned new hotels to combat the same issue. Additionally, Portugal is considering doubling the tourist tax in one of its major cities as part of its ongoing efforts to control the influx of holidaymakers.
