Barcelona tourism management
Urban tourism has become a global phenomenon in recent years, drawing 30 million visitors to Barcelona each year.
The visitor economy employs over 155,000 people, accounts for about 14% of GDP, and generates an expenditure of 9.7 billion euros. Barcelona is working on a strategy to manage tourism, promote geographical decentralisation and diversification of the tourist offer, invest in strategic promotion, and maintain a balance with city life.
The Jardí Geològic is one of the measures in the Destination Barcelona Sustainable Tourism Plan.
The perception of people in Barcelona before the growing number of visitors is one of the aspects addressed in the dossier.
Barcelona City Council is subsidising nine tourist digital and innovation and retail support projects as part of the Tourism Sustainability Plan for Destination Barcelona.
