%X The need for a new tourism law is highlighted by the new challenges that have to be faced: gentrification, overtourism, sustainability and scarce resources, tourismphobia, in short, a whole series of circumstances that reduce quality in a broad sense. As a consequence of the great tourism debacle resulting from the pandemic, the public authorities have developed policies aimed at increasing the number of tourists, once again, without stopping to think about the possible consequences, which we already knew, on the other hand.What is needed, however, are courageous policies to control access to the market in order to prevent further damage. Equipping public administrations with theappropriate digital tools to control demand and, if necessary, restrict supply.  Complying, of course, with the principles set out in the Services Directive and its national transposition rules.
