Australia's ABC reports on a growing backlash against the level of tourism in Europe, including in Spain where AirBnB rentals have driven up rental housing prices to levels where many locals cannot now afford to live there, and Dubrovnik where Game-of-Thrones tours are driving the locals nuts.

    I live in Paris.

    Way too many tourists are loud, smelly, block the way, etc. as if they were kings there when they should act like guests. The tourist hate doesn't come out of thin air. And the French tourists aren't any better, I'd get them up there with Americans as the worst (especially since they are so fat).
