10 If you look at the press in this country, especially the main newspaper, you'll see how a certain type of news has intensified in recent weeks: news announcing that this year will be a bad tourist season. I'd say it's subtle, but it's anything but. It consists of a constant stream of "bad" news that, taken together, creates the feeling that we are in real danger of losing our main source of income and becoming even poorer. The theme is a recurring one, but it never ceases to surprise how the fear of losing the (little? Not much?) we have challenges any attempt to have a serious conversation about the importance we want tourism to have, what kind of tourism we want, etc. In short, it's business as usual.
