Huge numbers turn out in Palma de Mallorca in the latest effort to highlight impact of over-tourism in Spain.
Tourism is a product of capitalism and only serves to destroy the planet. Tourism seems innocuous enough. People get to see the world… and then what? In which way does it benefit the world? Don't get me wrong, there are people who study or work and so need to travel, but for the vast majority of people, they're just accelerating the death of the planet with their plane travel and hiking up prices for locals with their tenure, in many cases even causing homelessness. Recreational travel is a problem for everyone and by limiting it, we can reduce flights by at least half, rent prices can be slashed and food and beverage prices can come down.
