Is Building a Tourism City in Cities Skylines 2 a Recipe for Traffic Chaos?

Welcome back to our unique Cities Skylines 2 series, where we dive into the challenge of building a city dedicated to tourism. In this second episode, we continue to explore the potential of a city that caters primarily to tourists, testing the limits of urban planning and traffic management. Can a city really thrive when it’s focused on tourism? Join us as we find out!
As we develop our Tourism City further, we encounter the complexities of integrating commercial zones that support our tourists with everything from meals and lodging to entertainment. This episode delves into the strategies behind placing these essential services and gauging their impact on our city’s appeal to tourists. Is it possible to create a bustling hub that attracts thousands without succumbing to chaos?
One of the major hurdles we face is managing the traffic brought on by our realistic traffic density mods. These mods add a layer of realism to Cities Skylines 2, significantly increasing the traffic flow and complicating city planning. Watch as we experiment with road layouts and traffic management solutions to keep our city running smoothly.
A surprising moment in this episode is when a motorcycle catches fire, leading to a dramatic scene that challenges our emergency services. The incident raises questions about our city’s infrastructure and its ability to handle unexpected emergencies. How will this affect our tourists’ perception and safety?
The introduction of an off-ramp directly to a residential area is considered as a potential solution to our traffic woes. We weigh the pros and cons of this approach, contemplating how it could ease congestion but also increase traffic in quieter parts of the city. Is this the right move for our tourism-focused city?
Our ongoing battle with traffic congestion forces us to think outside the box. We explore several makeshift solutions, such as adding turning lanes and adjusting traffic light phases. Each modification comes with its own set of challenges, making this gameplay a true test of urban planning skills in Cities Skylines 2.
Throughout the episode, we also focus on the economic aspects of running a tourism city. With a significant income from tourism, we delve into how this financial boon impacts our overall city budget. Are we really profiting from our focus on tourists, or are the costs of infrastructure and services overshadowing the benefits?
One of the core elements of this series is our use of mods that enhance the gameplay experience. These mods not only make the game more challenging but also more rewarding. From increased employment numbers at businesses to more realistic traffic scenarios, they push us to plan better and think more creatively.
Despite the challenges, there are moments of success and significant progress in our city’s development. We celebrate these milestones, discussing the strategies that worked and the lessons learned. Each victory brings us closer to our goal of creating a thriving tourist destination in Cities Skylines 2.
However, as our city grows, so do the challenges. The episode captures the ongoing struggle with traffic management, showing just how complex and frustrating it can be to maintain flow in a city overwhelmed by tourists. Will our infrastructure hold up, or will it collapse under pressure?
In pursuit of enhancing our city’s tourist appeal, we plan future projects and landmarks that could draw more visitors. The discussion includes potential new attractions and amenities that could transform our city into a top tourist destination. What landmarks and entertainment options will we introduce to captivate our visitors?
As we wrap up this episode, we reflect on the journey so far and the road ahead. Building a tourism-focused city in Cities Skylines 2 is no small feat, and each episode brings new insights and strategies. Stay tuned as we continue to navigate the exciting and challenging world of urban tourism development.

First, I wanna say that I really enjoyed the video. Never seen your channel before and yt threw it my way. A few thoughts that I have had while watching: On one of the main 3-way junctions, the far most right turn is set to do left and right turns, which is blocking all other right turns on the lanes left of them. When you do shortcuts, it might be worth only having one lane except for a few segments at the exit junction. Also it might be helpful to put parking lots on separate (one-way) streets, to stop cars crossing the oncoming traffic, when trying to get into the parking lots.

You can get the busses out of the way by using a loop of road just for bus unloading and loading.
