The city of Barcelona is currently facing an unparalleled housing crisis, with prices soaring by
49% in just three years, forcing longtime residents to flee the city as their salaries fail to meet
the inflated housing prices. Many have attributed the blame on the increased influx of foreign
visitors, whose superior purchasing power has driven prices up, in a movement headlined by
the slogan “Tourists Go Home”. This paper explores the role tourism has played in the
development of the housing crisis in the Catalan capital and explores the concept of
sustainable tourism as a potential solution. Combining data from primary and secondary
sources, this study develops a comprehensive understanding of the case of Barcelona as both a
prime example of the consequences of excess tourism and a pioneer in housing regulation and
social activism.
