Protests against overtourism are spreading in popular European destinations like Barcelona, Lisbon, and the Canary Islands, causing potential disruptions for travelers.
Local pushback against mass tourism has led to incidents like tourists being sprayed with water guns, prompting concerns for travelers visiting these destinations.
Travel insurance could be beneficial to protect against disruptions caused by protests or civil unrest while traveling. It is advisable to check the specifics of your policy for coverage details.
Considering policies with flexible cancellation options like 'cancel for any reason' (CFAR) can provide additional peace of mind for travelers concerned about potential disruptions due to overtourism protests.
