Mexico City's Largest Mass-Tourism Protest Ends in Vandalism and Xenophobic Attacks

MEXICO CITY, JUL 4 – Protesters demand stricter housing laws and tourism regulations as rising rents linked to American digital nomads since 2020 push locals from Condesa and Roma neighborhoods.

  • Hundreds of protesters held a demonstration against gentrification and mass tourism on July 4, 2025, in Mexico City's Condesa and Roma neighborhoods.
  • The protest stemmed from rising rents and housing shortages caused by American digital nomads and Airbnb-driven demand since 2020.
  • The event began peacefully at Parque Mexico but turned violent as a minority smashed windows and harassed tourists while chanting slogans.
  • Demonstrators carried placards with messages accusing foreigners of taking over their neighborhoods, spray-painted slogans telling outsiders to leave Mexico, and set fire to a likeness of President Trump.
  • The protest highlighted local demands for stricter housing laws and tourism regulation and echoed similar anti-tourism protests in European cities.
