🇺🇸 overtourism

Overtourism refers to the negative impacts of excessive tourism on local communities and environments. The trend is likely related to the increasing popularity of travel and the growing awareness of the consequences of mass tourism. Details about the current spike are limited, but the topic has been a concern in the US for years as popular destinations struggle to manage the influx of visitors. Overtourism often leads to issues such as overcrowding, strain on local resources, and degradation of natural environments.
