Can I get this with the question “What about visitors from the US?”

Where is this data from. I find it extremely difficult to believe over 50% of Spain think tourism is about right or not enough…

The text says that Spain and Italy are more concerned about visitors, but the graph suggests that France is slightly more concerned than Italy. Based on the data I would hesitate to categorize Spain with any other countries because they seem to be opposed to tourists the most, by a fairly large margin.

‘Do not know’ being on the right really skews the results to make the 50% line through the middle seem more favored towards the population thinking that there is not enough. If the do not know was removed this graph would make it much easier to tell the general sentiment which I assume is the purpose of this graph and its wide categories.

This is a common issue whether it is countries or area based, there is always a desired balance between visitors and residents, change versus keeping things the same.

Notice how this is correlated with economic performance. People would attribute their failing economies to just about anything.

That’s the wrong question because it can be both.

Would love to see Italy broken down into Rome vs Not Rome.
