There is no better way to start the day than watching Istanbul slide past on a Bosphorus ferry towards the Black Sea. There are also few better ways to spend the rest of the day than retracing your steps by foot, with @danieldombey as your guide ft.com/content/5139488a-f3da…

There's something populist about the backlash against tourism. It involves a turn inwards similar to reactions we've seen to immigration and deindustrialisation. And it unites people on the conservative right & the radical left. ft.com/content/de15a5a3-941d… via @ft

In Spain, record visitor numbers are provoking protests, but their spending props up the economy. Policymakers are trying to find a balance

Spain is Nato’s biggest laggard on defence spending. It spends less as a % of GDP than any other Nato country. A national aversion to muscular militarism explains why. ft.com/content/5803ccb4-5d49… via @ft
