The EU moves to curb Airbnb‑style rentals in a bid to ease housing stress.

The EU’s Affordable housing act lays out a comprehensive plan to curb tourist rentals, while giving power back to local regions.

But is it doing enough?

@rebootdeluxe Der Strom kommt überwiegend aus Erneuerbaren und das Wasser aus Speicherseen.

Es ist eher der Übertourismus. Weil die Schneegrenze steigt, verdichtet sich der Trubel auf immer weniger Gebiete. Deshalb werden immer höhere und schützenswerte Berge bebaut. Aber weil der Permafrost auftaut, müssen die Fundamente immer größer werden. Mehr Material, mehr Leute, mehr Müll.

Ich würde es eher mit überfüllten Touri-Hotspots vergleichen.

‘Parisians out!’: why the French have had enough of French tourists

Is 'Tiny Tourism' the antidote to mass tourism? I went to Dublin to try it out - BBC https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20260813-is-tiny-tourism-the-antidote-to-mass-tourism #Tourismus #Tourismus #OverTourism #MassTourism #TinyTourism

Lo avete sicuramente già letto da qualche parte, ma è vero.
Qui il problema non è di certo il Krapfen o la gente che fa la fila.
Il guaio è più in profondità, nella mente delle persone e nella loro percezione dei luoghi, nell'importanza dei comportamenti, anche (e soprattutto on-line.)
Mi spingo a dire che è un problema culturale.
Quindi, in #Italia, irrisolvibile.

Fatemi capire: il simbolo del turismo estrattivo per ricchi in Italia è un resort di lusso in costruzione in una località sarda che si chiama... CALA FINANZA?

You can't make that s##t up.

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.” >>

Hochbetrieb an Bergseen: Wenn Erholung zur Belastung für die Natur wird

"Coolcation" liegt in Hitzezeiten im Trend. Kühle Bergseen können zwar für Erfrischung sorgen, aber solche Gewässer und ihre Umgebung sind sehr empfindlich, wie ein Beispiel aus Bayern zeigt. Von Alexander Brutscher.

Sadly and weirdly, 100km away from the hotspots of the Dolomites where people kill each other for an Instagram shot, Rifugio Marinelly did not open in 2026 after 125 years of continuous operation because there was no tenant willing to continue running the business.

Další den mého cyklodobrodružství (ztratil jsem přehled, před kolika přesně dny vzhledem k dnešku) jsem narazil na první překážku v cestě: roztrhla se mi duše od kola v místě ventilku. Fotodokumentaci z nehody a oprav jsem nějak nedělal, byl jsem ve zmatku. Cykloservis byl sice nedaleko, ale dopoledne mi zavřel před nosem (o 20 minut) a odpoledne otevíral až od 16:30.

Wolfgangsee je jednoznačně postižené overturismem. Zdá se být z jezer v oblasti nejpopulárnější, to může být dané kombinací již lehce alpské scenérie s teplotou vody - ale kvalita vody tím oproti ostatním jezerům strádá. Veřejné pláže jsou obležené davy, které přijíždí auty, kempy jsou v sezóně narvané a nepřijímají ani jednotlivé cestovatele na kole, kteři by se teoreticky měli vejít všude.

"70% of all overnight stays by foreign visitors cluster in just five prefectures: Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido & Okinawa. #Kyoto alone accounted for almost 63 million domestic & international visitors last year, leaving its historic streets & temples groaning under the strain. The result has been a kind of #tourism #monoculture"🤦‍♂️🇯🇵
