Strategic tourism management

Barcelona City Council has focused on the comprehensive management and regulation of tourism as a top priority for years, recognising its key role in ensuring a balanced and sustainable city and the compatibility of tourism within it.

Its aim is to lay down a set of rules through the management of tourism to strike a balance in the city by promoting certain practices and restricting others.

The 2024-2027 Government Measure for Tourism Management sets out the main challenges arising from tourism management in Barcelona and establishes the strategic lines for the coming years. The document addresses the challenge of management through 12 strategic areas and includes a programme consisting of 41 specific actions.
