From protesters in Barcelona to large cruise ship bans and visitor taxes in Venice, the world's hottest destinations are making it clear that overtourism negatively impacts the quality of life for locals.
These cities simply don't have enough space and resources to accommodate millions of visitors. As a result, living costs increase, and residents deal with swarms of tourists in the streets just to get to work or run errands.
Massive crowds also make these destinations less enjoyable for travelers.
Tourists can instead opt for lesser-known destinations that actively seek to attract more visitors, which can help create jobs and boost local economies.
