Tourists who visit Barcelona and want a guide won't be allowed to be in groups of more than 30 people and, should they want to visit Ciutat Vella, no more than 15. The measure is part of a good practices guide promoted by Barcelona City Council, which seeks to "make tourist activity compatible with the neighbourhood", according to Ciutat Vella councillor, Jordi Rabassa. The restriction will not be mandatory, but even so Rabassa has already asked for the district's legal services "to analyse regulations" with the aim of sanctioning those who do not comply with all these recommendations. For the moment, however, the measure has the support of the Association of Generalitat de Catalunya Qualified Guides for Responsible and Quality Tourism (AGUICAT) and the Professional Association of Tourist Guides of Catalonia (APIT). The two organisations represent a total of 500 guides, out of the 800 official guides operating in Barcelona. The unofficial guides are left out, as are free tour guides, which have not signed the document.
