SPAIN - Protesters slam tourism at inauguration of worlds biggest cruise ship

Hundreds gathered at the port of Barcelona, Sunday, to protest against mass tourism during the inauguration of the world's largest cruise ship, the 'Harmony of The Seas,' which can accommodate up to 9,000 passengers.
Over the past years, the city of Barcelona has seen an impressive increase in the flow of tourists and is now considered to be one of the most exotic destinations in the world, which according to protesters, makes the city uninhabitable for local residents, especially over the summer season.
According to recent statistics, Barcelona is the fourth European city after London, Paris and Rome, which welcomes the highest number of tourists per year.
