Europe Declares WAR on TOURISTS! (The New Travel Crackdown)

Is Europe turning against tourists?
Across Italy, France, Spain, and Greece, cities are cracking down with new tourist taxes, entry restrictions, and anti-Airbnb laws. From Venice’s day-tripper fee to Barcelona’s short-term rental ban, this is the biggest shift in European tourism we’ve seen in decades.
