Bel i Queralt, Germà, 1963-Colomés Barbarà, LluísMazaira-Font, Ferran2025-05-142025-05-142025https://hdl.handle.net/2445/221003Unease with tourism has spread to many areas with large populations, and local governments are implementing or discussing measures to reduce tourist intensity. The metropolitan-based narrative about the negative externalities of tourism has often been projected onto all types of destinations. Our research empirically analyzes whether the effects on community well-being are as homogeneous as anti-tourism narratives assume, in a heterogeneous and mature tourism market. We find that in both larger and smaller municipalities, tourism increases inequality, although to a limited extent. However, the effects on per capita income and on housing rental prices differ greatly. Government should avoid a "one-size-fits-all" approach when considering tourism policies.25 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Bel i Queralt et al., 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Política turísticaSociologia de l'economiaAnàlisi d'impacte econòmicPolítica de preusPolitics of tourismSociology of economicsEconomic impact analysisPrices policyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
