This isn't a very hard problem. if your product has more demand that you can handle then increase the price until the demand goes away. I bet you can get rid of half the tourists with a "high season tax" of 20 euros per visitor per night

indeed, what tourism needs is to be even more limited to the rich

The job of the government of Barcelona is to act in the best interest of its citizens. A freaking high tax on tourists limits tourism (good for its citizens) while raising revenue (good for its citizens).

If there are issues with tourism as a concept or with fairness in the world that's somebody else's problem.

You're never going to have a tourism tax that accomplishes both of those goals. Unless the fee is something absurd like €5000 you're not going to equal the tax revenue that comes from tourism in the form of direct sales tax, income tax on tourism-related workers, and corporate/property taxes from tourism businesses.

I was proposing 20 euros per adult per night but I'm ok with 50 too
