Doherty vs Gonçalves – Can cities cope with Europe's tourism boom?

How much tourism can Europe’s cities handle? Who should bear the cost? And how is the tourism boom across Europe affecting locals who struggle to find a home? Two EU lawmakers step into The Ring on this live episode from Euronews Travel & Tourism summit: Regina Doherty, an Irish MEP with Fine Gael and a member of the centre-right European People’s Party, and Sérgio Gonçalves, a Portuguese Socialist MEP from Madeira. Both MEPs discuss whether it is possible to square the circle between the continent’s tourism growth and its worrying housing crisis. Listen to this special edition of The Ring, brought to you from the Albert Hall in Brussels. The Ring is Euronews’ weekly political showdown, where Europe’s toughest debates meet their boldest voices. In each episode, two political heavyweights from across the EU face off to propose a diversity of opinions and spark conversations around the most important issues of EU affairs and the wider European political life.
