"We complain about the excess of tourists (in Barcelona, Palma, and elsewhere), yet we ourselves become tourists when we travel to other destinations. Tourism is one of the world's major industries. Without giving it up, how can we regulate it and minimize its negative impacts on host cities, their communities, and the environment? How can we avoid becoming victims of our own success?"
