Wenn es beim besteigen von Deutschlands höchstem Berg zu solchen Staus kommt haben wir eventuell ein kleines Problem namens #overtourism

In #Hokkaido, #Japan, there has been a lot of discourses on the media about lack of tourists since COVID, before the island is finally filled with a lot of domestic and int'l tourists again to restore the status as the most popular destination, along with a completely opposite discourse about #overtourism.

The thing is, the island is getting as hotter as southern cities like Tokyo, while the island does not seem to accommodate environment as comfortable as tourists should expect.

Vor nem Jahr war ich in #Hamburg zum Fotografieren. Ich habe irgendwo im Umkreis des Hafens übernachtet. Ich habe sehr schlecht geschlafen, weil es da dieses tiefe Brummen gab. Das waren wohl Motoren von #Kreuzfahrt-Schiffen. Die laufen einfach durch. Zur Stromerzeugung. Irre. #Amsterdam schmeißt die jetzt raus. #OverTourism #Klimaschutz

#Greek government to trial hourly entry limits of 2,000-3,000 visitors to the #Acropolis on September 4, with a view to instituting these permanently next spring. Which makes me wonder how many people they're letting in per hour now.

Worldwide there is a growing commitments to swimmable rivers and clean natural waterways.

The case of Bellingen's scenic swimming hole
Bellingen just smashed in a "$5.2M “gate way to the Promised Land” so that mass tourism can speed along the new 'highway' (Gleniffer Road) to the Never Never Creek. It is the town's main 'tourist destination' (but has no public toilet).

In January the Promised Land swimming hole near Bellingen recorded faecal contamination of water. "Council advised swimmers to stay out of the Never Never River.” Humans and dogs were blamed for the faecal matter. "It has been very popular over the holiday period and there are certainly indications that people have been using the riparian area there along the banks for toileting purposes”

Die Gruppen sind auffallend für Einheimische (sorry für mich) erst seit Juni in der Stadt unterwegs. Da sind 54 % weniger eh noch immer viel zu viele. Vor allem wenn sie im Alltag im Weg stehen und die Reiseführer:innen nicht daran denken, Engstellen frei zu halten.

#Amsterdam lässt keine Kreuzfahrtsschiffe mehr in die Innenstadt - das Terminal muss umziehen.

Grund: #Overtourism und Luftverschmutzung. Ein Schiff stößt pro Tag so viele Schadstoffe aus, wie 31.000 LKW auf der Stadtautobahn.

L’#overtourism, il "troppo turismo", è arrivato anche nelle località italiane più esclusive, quelle del turismo di lusso.

Un caso particolare è quello di #Portofino.
Nel comune ligure, infatti, da un lato la coesione UE sostiene interventi per rendere sostenibile il #turismo subacqueo.

Dall'altro, invece, sulla terraferma il sindaco va nella direzione opposta, con l’istituzione di zone rosse dove non è possibile nemmeno fermarsi per ragioni di sicurezza.

Now free for all to read... I took a day-trip to Venice, enjoying art and food and its general gorgeousness. But the City of Light made me sigh - in more than one way:

Two pieces that are showing the increased pressures and discourtesy shown to residents and visitors alike.

https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highlands-islands/5835601/luskentyre-beach-petition-cemetery-parking-harris/
and https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highlands-islands/5865043/park-authority-considers-bye-laws-to-tackle-wildfires-in-cairngorms/

Really unsure as to why people behave like this, preventing access to cemetery and setting fires in a forest (on a tiny beach but sparks fly) during a period of significant drought.

All that will happen is nice things will be removed from visitors.

Ich habe in den letzten Jahren seit 2020 selbst vergessen wie sich #Overtourism anfühlt.

Oft kommt mir vor: Für die meisten geht es darum, auch DAS Instagram-Bild zu haben. Nach der Pandemie jetzt erst recht. 🫢

Ein globales Phänomen, in europäischen Metropolen, Alpen-Schiorten, ... und amerikanischen Nationalparks.

Sehenswertes Video dazu. Wenn viel einfach zu viel wird:
