#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"🤦‍♂️🇯🇵

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."
