I wonder if you could get away with some kind of payment for locals in tourist heavy locations, like the Canary Islands are HEAVY tourist locations. Stick a tourist tax on hotels, holiday rentals etc. and a large property tax on villas owned by foreign companies and non-Spanish citizens, and then distribute that money to any local working and living on the islands as a flat "Dealing with the tourists" payment. Couple that with lower/no taxes for locals that are employed on the islands (not just those that own property and rent it out) and that might make things seem nicer for them.
