I don’t like the idea of expensive private tours for the rich cutting into the usual opening hours for everyone else. Why not instead have a lottery draw for entry to overtouristed sites?

"As a result, town officials say they’ll set up a vinyl black curtain, some 20 meters long and 2.5 meters high, to black out the area. They also plan to erect a fence along the road to prevent people from crossing illegally."

Zu viele Touristen: Venedig erhebt fünf Euro Eintritt

Venedig ist beliebt - zu beliebt. Die Touristenmassen setzen den Einwohnern zu, aber auch den historischen Gebäuden. Jetzt will die Lagunenstadt, dass seine Besucher fünf Euro Eintritt zahlen. Aktivisten und Hoteliers sehen das skeptisch. Von Elisabeth Pongratz.

The mayor of Como in Italy is considering instituting a tourist fee, following a similar move by Venice authorities, in order to curb over-tourism. The city is right on the iconic Lake Como and attracts more than one million tourists a year, making it one of the most visited destinations in Italy. Fabio Dadati, president of a local enterprise association, said that second homes have emptied the town center of residents. Villa del Balbianello, an 18th-century building that has been used as a location in "Casino Royale" and "Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones," has also been forced to limit visitors in order to reduce potential damage. Here's more from Thrillist.

Gleniffer Reserves and waterways management

There will be a review of the 5 year management plan of the Gleniffer Reserves. A meeting will be held at the Gleniffer Hall on Tuesday 23rd January from 9.30am to 12 noon.

Once residents and visitors have frequented the local watering holes in Bellingen, the swimming holes at Gleniffer are the main thing to do on a hot day. The mass tourism is funneled via ' the tourist drive'. The scenic country road has just been reconstructed into a highway-like infrastructure. Motorists are now enticed to race from the watering hole to the swimming hole. Cars park as close as possible to the small creeks and unload dogs and gear. The unwanted waste is commonly left behind for the local wildlife and the next load of visitors.

The reserves have a lot of car parking infrastructure and educational signage about settler explorers now.

A "Go before you go” campaign urges visitors to go to a public toilet before leaving the township. Many motorists/swimmers forget and the dogs can't read.

The 'upgrade' of Gleniffer road channeled the flow of visitors into local waterways that have no toilets.

Every year, more than 20 million passengers take a cruise.

Before the pandemic, that number was even higher sitting at around 30 million.

Many European ports where these ships drop anchor are re-evaluating their presence. Some are looking to ban them altogether, citing environmental, social and economic concerns.

Which European cities are trying to cut back the number of cruise ship visits?

Uwielbiam odkrywać nowe miejsca i kultury. Nie interesuje mnie bycie kolejnym turystą, który robi to samo zdjęcie z tym samym zabytkiem, co miliony osób przed nim i po nim. Wolę szukać własnych ścieżek i doświadczać rzeczy, których nie znajdziesz w przewodnikach. Dlatego zawsze staram się wybierać mniej znane i mniej uczęszczane destynacje, gdzie mogę poczuć prawdziwy duch danego kraju lub regionu.

Kiedyś dobre wakacje kojarzyły mi się wyłącznie z all inclusive. Dzisiaj patrzę na to z zupełnie innej perspektywy. Nie neguję wyborów innych ludzi, piszę o sobie. Uważam, że podróżowanie to nie tylko odpoczynek, ale też nauka i rozwój. Chcę poznawać różne kultury, języki, religie, zwyczaje i tradycje. Chcę widzieć piękno przyrody i architektury, które nie są pokazywane w telewizji czy internecie. Chcę spotykać ludzi, którzy mają inne spojrzenie na świat i życie.

Nie mówię, że nie warto odwiedzać znanych miejsc i zabytków. Są one częścią historii i kultury danego kraju i mają swoje walory. Jednak dla mnie podróżowanie to coś więcej niż robienie zdjęć i zbieranie pamiątek. To sposób na poszerzanie horyzontów i poznawanie świata z innej perspektywy.

Do takich przemyśleń skłonił mnie reportaż „Świat, którego za chwilę nie będzie” w magazynie . Nawet nie zdawałem sobie sprawy, że istnieje zjawisko zwane , w którym zbyt duża liczba turystów wpływa negatywnie na jakość życia mieszkańców lub doświadczenie przebywania w danym miejscu. Zjawisko to dotyczy kierunków turystycznych, gdzie mieszkańcy lub turyści zauważają zbyt dużą liczbę zwiedzających. jest odwrotnością zrównoważonej turystyki, której celem jest tworzenie miejsc przyjaznych zarówno mieszkańcom, jak i turystom.

    Venedig will Gebührensystem für Tagesgäste testen

    Venedig ist eine der meist besuchten Städte der Welt. Zu Spitzenzeiten übernachten dort 100.000 Touristen pro Tag - Tagesausflügler nicht mitgerechnet. Um den Zustrom zu begrenzen, soll nun ein Gebührensystem getestet werden.

    gegenovertourisminhamburg,

    @tagesschau Richtig so. Und die Idee, dass die Preise dynamisch mit jedem mehr verkauften Cityticket steigen, finde ich super. Kann meinetwegen auch gerne auf angewendet werden.
