Cities around the world strive to boost local tourism, attract more tourists, and thereby strengthen their economies. However, in Barcelona, where the tourism sector is already booming, locals have launched a unique protest to slow it down and push tourists away from popular spots. Many residents participated in this protest spontaneously.They are troubled by the unchecked growth of tourism, the unruly behavior of tourists, the increasing cost of living, and growing unrest caused by mass tourism. Some locals have even left their homes due to the chaos and moved to quieter places. Frustrated, they raised their voices with the slogan: “Enough is enough, Stop this tourism and tourists.” During the protest, a group of tourists was relaxing outside a hotel with tea and refreshments when a protester, a woman, suddenly sprayed water at them using a plastic water gun. That small act sparked a larger movement. The "water gun movement" soon became a powerful symbol of anti-tourism protests across Europe. In countries like the Netherlands, Croatia, Austria, Italy, Greece, France, Portugal, and others, citizens began protesting tourism using water guns. Without harming tourists, they sprayed water and raised slogans.
