Spain's Tourism Economy COLLAPSE: Youth Unemployment Crisis Explained

Описание: What happens when your entire economy is an Airbnb? 🇪🇸🏖️

Spain bet everything on tourism—13% of GDP, 85 million visitors annually, more than any developed nation. It worked until COVID showed the fatal flaw: when tourists stop coming, the house collapses. This is the story of a country that chose easy service jobs over difficult manufacturing, and now faces 27% youth unemployment, water running out, and Catalonia wanting independence.

In this deep dive documentary, we expose Spain's tourism trap, the housing bubble pricing locals out of Barcelona, and the climate crisis making summer tourism impossible at 45°C. We analyze why young Spaniards live with parents until 40, how Catalonia's exit would explode Spanish debt, and why there's no Plan B when water and climate fail.

In this video, we cover:

The 13% Tourism Trap: Why depending on volatile tourism double what other nations do creates inevitable crisis.

The COVID Collapse: How 77% tourism drop crashed GDP 11% in one year, exposing total dependence.

The 27% Youth Unemployment: Why an entire generation can't find stable work and 80% live with parents.

The Housing Apocalypse: Why Barcelona apartments cost €350K while young workers earn €18K annually.

The Airbnb Invasion: How foreigners bought Spanish cities and expelled locals to the outskirts.

The Catalonia Crisis: Why Spain's richest region wants independence and can't be allowed to leave.

The Water Running Out: Why Barcelona imports water by ship and tourism needs pools that don't exist.
