La fàbrica de turistes

The day that Barcelona ran out of tourists became strange to us, as used to it as we were. In the last sixty years, tourism has changed the face of the country. It has urbanized half of the territory, damaged natural resources, transformed the economy and created many jobs... temporary. Catalonia had part of its identity in the industry and is now a country that makes tourists. With the pandemic, we have discovered the price of this bet, now full of uncertainties. The tourist factory reviews the creation of the myth of the Costa Brava, the birth of Port Aventura, the emergence of Barcelona as a major international tourist destination... and raises the urgency of finding a plan B for our economy.
