Authorities of the Catalan city announced the end of the freeze on new hotel licenses for 18 hotel projects in Barcelona.
The decision for the gel on the attribution of new hotel licenses was taken by the recently elected mayor, Ada Colau, to regulate tourist arrivals in the city ville and do away with its image of mass tourism. "This is a temporary decision that will last one year, the time it takes to elaborate a strategic project in terms of tourist accommodations," at that time Ada Colau, specified that she was aware that "tourism is one of the city's primary assets, and thus it is our responsibility as a group to take care of it and make it as sustainable as possible."
