Addressing overtourism

"Experts and operators say overtourism isn't just a matter of overcrowding, but also change to local areas in ways that disadvantage residents. The biggest impact of overtourism is the loss of a region's original value and character."

"When too many tourists concentrate in one area, the focus of the town gradually shifts from daily life to tourism."

"Businesses naturally begin prioritising tourists over local residents because it becomes more profitable. As a result, everyday convenience for residents decreases, and the unique local identity can slowly disappear."

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."
