  10. Eroding the true spirit of beauty
    Social media attracting ‘unmanageable’ crowds

    * "The issue is "the algorithms ruining the mountain environment by funnelling crowds into beauty spots.The mountains are not a playground."

    "Hundreds of people overwhelmed a mountain hut in the Italian Dolomites, not for the panoramic views but in search of a creamy pastry, reigniting the debate about social-media-driven tourism."

    “The main problem is those who visit the mountains without knowing or respecting them. Until five or six years ago we did not witness overtourism in precise points or at certain moments in the Dolomites. Now there are iconic places where it is no longer possible to appreciate the beauty as we’re surrounded by dozens of people who take selfies and are only there for that.” >>

    * "Italian town clamps down after TikTok star draws ‘unmanageable’ crowds...It also happens, and unexpectedly, in less renowned destinations which are not accustomed to huge flows of visitors..." >>

  11. Reclaimining a sense of place
    Mobility and the right to stay in a milieu

    "Touristification describes a situation where locals fear their home towns and cities are being developed, designed and managed to attract and accommodate tourists. This touristification process benefits commerce and industries that profit from catering to visitors. Everyone else misses out, or is literally pushed out by rising housing costs. Some places are overwhelmed by short-term overtourism...Local housing, for instance, is being sacrificed for holiday rentals, facilitated by agencies such as Airbnb. local communities do not feel heard or empowered by tourism models which are focused on growth."
