为遏制过度旅游现象，英国热门度假目的地正对非法旅游公寓采取强硬措施——西班牙已与意大利、法国、荷兰、葡萄牙和希腊联手打击无证经营房源。

为应对过度旅游问题，英国部分热门度假胜地正严厉打击非法旅游公寓。西班牙已与意大利、法国、荷兰、葡萄牙和希腊等国联手，共同取缔无证经营房源。

这些非法假日租赁引发的问题并非新现象，去年夏天西班牙各地爆发的过度旅游抗议活动便是明证。当地居民将这些公寓视为住房危机的罪魁祸首——租金价格飞涨，而本地住房供应持续萎缩。在马略卡岛，许多居民已对住房市场现状感到绝望，过去一年间当地房价再度飙升了15%。

为解决这一问题，西班牙、意大利、法国、荷兰、葡萄牙和希腊当局正加强检查力度，推行新的许可制度，并要求预订平台提供更多合作。

尽管西班牙政府今年早些时候曾警告将处以高额罚款，但一份政府报告显示，巴利阿里群岛仍有7000套度假公寓在非法出租。

此次严厉打击有望为合法经营者营造更公平的市场环境，并切实保障社区安全。

这些热门度假地的官方部门明确表示：欢迎游客前来，但前提是必须遵守法律并尊重当地居民。

西班牙住房危机已严重到被政府称为"社会紧急状态"。当局预估，未来四年内需新建60万至100万套住房才能满足需求。

据西班牙国家统计局数据显示，生活成本危机正带来沉重打击，三分之一的西班牙人坦言无力承担为期一周的假期开销。

巴塞罗那在打击度假短租方面处于领先地位，并制定了严格的法规。该市目前正在逐步取消旅游公寓，目标是到2028年彻底取缔所有持证短期租赁。

市长豪梅·科尔博尼宣布，巴塞罗那市议会将不会续签任何旅游公寓的许可证，这些许可证将于2028年11月到期。

西班牙是目前英国游客最青睐的旅游目的地，2023年有近1800万英国人到访，远超排名第二的法国（920万人次）。

虽然断言该国对西班牙及其令人惊叹的文化、美食美酒、宜人气候和整体美好氛围的热爱已经终结是荒谬的，但不可否认的是，伊比利亚半岛上态度的转变正引发日益强烈的沮丧情绪。

The UK's favourite holiday destinations are taking a hard stance on illegal tourist apartments in a bid to curb overtourism - Spain has joined Italy, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Greece in cracking down on unlicensed properties.

Some of Britain's favourite holiday spots are cracking down on unlawful tourist flats in an effort to tackle overtourism . Spain has joined the likes of Italy, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Greece in clamping down on unlicensed properties.

The issue with these illegal holiday rentals is not new, as evidenced by last summer's overtourism protests across Spain. Locals blame these apartments for the housing crisis, with rental prices skyrocketing and local housing availability dwindling. In Majorca, many locals are already despairing over the state of the housing market, with prices surging by another 15% in just the past year.

In a bid to address the problem, authorities in Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Greece are ramping up inspections, implementing new licensing systems, and demanding more cooperation from booking platforms.

Despite earlier warnings of hefty fines this year, a Spanish government report claimed that there are still 7,000 holiday flats being rented out illegally in the Balearic Islands.

It is hoped that this stringent crackdown will create a fairer market for legal operators and safeguard communities.

Authorities in these popular holiday destinations say their message is clear: tourists are welcome, but only if they abide by the law and respect the locals.

The housing crisis in Spain has reached such a critical point that it's been labelled a "social emergency" by the Spanish government. They estimate that between 600,000 and a million new homes need to be built within the next four years to meet the demand.

The cost-of-living crisis is also hitting hard, with one in three Spaniards confessing they can't afford a week-long holiday, as per the National Statistics Institute.

Barcelona is at the forefront with stringent rules on clamping down on holiday lets. The city is currently in the process of phasing out tourist apartments, with a goal to eradicate all licensed short-term rentals by 2028.

Mayor Jaume Collboni has declared that the City Council will not renew any licences for tourist-use flats once they expire in November 2028.

Spain is by far the most popular country among UK travellers, with close to 18 million of us visiting in 2023 far more than the 9.2 million who took a trip to second-place France.

While it would be absurd to suggest that the country's love affair with Spain and its incredible culture, food and drink, spectacular weather , and general good vibes is over, there is undeniably a groundswell of frustration at a shift in attitude on the Iberian Peninsula.
