#overtourism — Public Fediverse posts

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.

The Slovak village questioning its UNESCO status.

The picturesque village of Vlkolinec in Slovakia has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1993.

Vlkolinec was recently in the headlines for wanting to be taken off the list.

DW visited the village to find out why.

Even more locals are about to be priced out of their own neighbourhoods.🔑⚠️ 📚 A new study by T&E shows air tourism could push rents up by €250/year in Ireland, and €160-220/year in Greece, Portugal & Spain in the upcoming years. #housingcrisis #overtourism

Spaning: turistigheten i en stad kan mätas i hur tidigt på morgonen det går att få finkaffe.
Metod: Google Maps - Coffee - Open now och se hur utbudet försvinner

Ju turistigare, desto senare. Även i lilla Tarnow där jag var häromdan fanns det två caféer som öppnade 7:30 på en söndag.

Kedje-cafeer räknas bort eftersom de bara finns på turistställen

Det verkar också viktigt för engelsktalande turister att kunna få ”frukostmat” hela dan.

“Insta-Pests”: Why A Kyoto Temple Reportedly Banned Kimono-Clad Visitors

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://unseen-japan.com/kyoto-temple-kimono-photo-ban/

Marketing-Abteilung so: "Lass uns eine möglichst wie #aislop aussehende #Werbung schalten, die eine bereits von #Overtourism geplagte Gegend so richtig billig ausschauen lässt."

Good, don't add to the #overtourism & pls keep your #จีนเทา dogs locked up‼️👇

#Japan wants 60 million #tourists,🤔 but #China isn’t sending them
"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"🤦‍♂️🇯🇵

Mehr Hotellbetten in "gewissen Regionen" sind für den Tiroler Tourismuslandesrat Mario Gerber vorstellbar. Außerfern, "Teile Osttirols" und "gewisse Bereiche im Inn- und Sellraintal".

Kühtai, wo der Herr Landesrat selbst MEHRERE Hotels betreibt, gehört auch zum Sellraintal. Ob das auch zu den "gewissen Bereichen" zählt? 🤔

"Für Gerber vereinzelt mehr Betten vorstellbar"

This image really leant extra impact to the "Tourismus Macht Frei" graffiti I saw in Mallorca. The size of these cruise ships beggars belief. And when you see them dwarfing the ports they dock at it's a little horrifying.

Hält uns nicht auf, wenn wir für Wohnraum und gegen Spekulation und Airbnb auf die Straße gehen. 🔓🔓🔓

Und ja, es gibt viele Menschen, sie sich für das Thema interessieren.

Denn es kann nicht sein, dass wir für Wohnraum viel zahlen oder keinen finden, und andere sich bereichern.
