Conversely, fewer than 3% of those over 55 cite AI as a resource for holiday ideas.

The leader added that should a requirement for taking a vacation is affluence, that is "completely unacceptable".

Appeals for Control in Travel Industry

The challenges with too many visitors in Spanish destinations and other locations were blamed on "illegal rentals" rather than big operators.

This included demands for authorities to clamp down on cases where rental hosts operate without a official permit, health and safety certificate, or correct financial reporting.

Should hosts are discovered to be without the right certificates and financial records, you get fined. Failure to comply means jail time. The entire illegal rentals will be eliminated rapidly.

The takeaway was straightforward: People should be accountable, follow the rules, and get it done.
