Recent protests in Mexico City against surging mass tourism and gentrification have escalated into violent clashes, resulting in vandalism and harassment of tourists. Demonstrators are expressing their frustration over the influx of foreigners, particularly Americans, into local neighborhoods, arguing that it drives up rents and displaces residents. While anti-tourism sentiments have been echoed in various cities worldwide, Mexico City is facing unique challenges as local populations rally against the impacts of both mass travel and short-term rental businesses like Airbnb. Photos from the protests show damage to shops and confrontations with visitors, highlighting the tensions that have arisen amid rising tourism rates.
