abstract = {New tourism trends, such as vacation rentals websites and low-cost tourism, have generated
a new environment of interactions between tourism and the citizens. To this, we must add the
fortuitous increase in demand in some touristic destinations. This has derived in situations of
rejection in traditionally tourism-dependent environments. In this study, which is focused on the city
of Barcelona, we use work-field data to analyze the elements that lie behind the popular aversion
to tourism. Assuming a non-forced analysis that takes the Social Exchange Theory as a framework,
we have determined that the negative economic effects derived from the increase in the number of
accommodations destined for vacation rentals and in the demand lie behind this rejection. The main
impacts that are perceived directly from these factors are: the increase in residential rentals prices
and a shift from a traditional market to one oriented to the tourist with higher prices. It has also been
determined that the most vulnerable population groups are those who manifest a stronger rejection,
tenants of apartments in city centers, and citizens with a low/medium income, who perceive rises in
the prices and a change in the market focus to a larger extent.},
