I support these statements. I live in Aruba and we have a tourism problem too even if our incompetent government officials don't like to admit that. Unfortunately, tourism is the only economic pillar we got. But it is more unfortunate when this only pillar becomes overwhelming for us citizens. Trash all over (i'd say 50/50 though, cause there are a lot of Arubans who litter also), noise pollution in neighborhoods using Tour ATV's, overcrowded beaches and unnecessary public funding for touristic purposes like more hotels. I don't fully blame the tourists per se, but I feel like the government should enforce some severe rules and restrictions to make the tourists aware that they can't just get away with everything they want to do (personally I'd like them to ban all noisy ATV's that pass through quiet neighborhoods).

You couldn’t be more right. You could not have hit the nail more squarely on its head. Bali, a place I lived in for two years, in a country I lived in for 12, is a prime example of this. Instagram changed the island. It changed the tourists that started flooding in. And it’s sadly changing many of the locals as well. I’m all for free speech, but I gotta say it: Instagram has got to go! These places should figure out a way to put up a firewall around the app. Ban it from your country. You’ll thank yourselves in 20 years when you still have an intact set of cultures and a distinct lack of complete assholes coming to visit.

About the mount everest: please don’t forget to mention the sherpas that makes it possible for those „climbers“ to reach the summit. The sherpas go Risk their lives for strangers, they help them with food and set up their tents in a safe place, they carry heavy stuff from and for the „climbers“ just for one or two people to stay on top of the summit and take a selfie and assuming they they reached the summit on their own, without mentioning the sherpas. They pay thousands just to climb that mountain and not even 5% of that money go to the sherpas. I think they should stop letting people go on the everest for years. Just imagine that mountain 5-10 years from now: covered in waist, plastic, garbage and for what? Just for a person to stand on the summit and take a stupid selfie and not even mention the help they got from the sherpas?

Lived in Bali as a kid. Part of the reason we moved was because of over-tourism back in 2011. Hotels and villas destroyed the beaches natural allures, also there wasn’t an effective waste management system. Most trash is either burned or winds up in the ocean. Only surfable conditions was outgoing tide due to the amount of trash in the water. Seeing Bali in the vid gave me goosebumps. I could go on but I think this should suffice.

One thing that'll help: Don't throw your garbage on the ground! Just think of it as your own house. Do you throw everything on the ground too? No one is going to clean up after you there. But at least that's only a problem for you. In a foreign country or just outside, it bothers more people and you might be the reason why a species died out. I don't think overcrowding is the biggest problem. Littering is.

Many places they have not moved over to Electric transport the air stinks of diesel. Some places spend a lot of time cleaning the streets ie washing them down, but around the corner over flowing bins. Stop allowing too many hotels, only allow hotels that are done tastefully that will enhance the local area. Don't allow Taxis and busses to sit with their engines idling constantly at airports and city ranks, news flash they stink. Provide decent trash bins that are not over flowing.

@@Paito21Najera Yes but that is Japan a very curious nation indeed. But in general most places it makes sense to either put out garbage cans to collect the garbage or do something. Well it just makes sense really don't you think? I mean if you are going to sell lots of goods with disposable wrappers it makes sense to provide a place for that disposed of wrapping, it's just basic sense. Also if you are going to provide street food, you need somewhere for the waste to be put, cos you know there will be some. But that's what I'm talking about, if a country wants tourists which brings in lots of money then provide the right facilities to cater to their needs, garbage cans, clean transport where possible, regulation on products and services and so on, it's basic sense. Some countries don't bother and some people complain, but it's simple basic sense to provide the services you know will be needed to take care of the locals and tourism.

Not really true is it, tourists go to these places because they like the way they look and they also consider the locals how friendly they may be. Often the locals look to make money because the country they are in cannot provide a decent living for them, tourism provides them with a living. You also have to consider there are different types of tourists, some who go to places for the sports, for the sun, for the local scenery and so on. You can't blame the tourists for a country that refuses to use electric vehicles and instead use Diesel vehicles for their taxis, or busses. When I was in Dubrovnik I noticed the Busses all diesel, Taxis pretty much the same thing, I didn't see one electric charge point or one electric car or motorcycle. The place was nice, but if they don't update then pollution will get worse, the tourists go and by them going provides work for a lot of people, they also have a tourist tax, not a good idea. Govts seem unwilling to do what is needed to keep an industry successful, if you want tourists to stop going then all those people will be out of work, then the govts will be begging people to go back. It makes more sense to set up a govt agency to tackle the needs of the tourists but in a way that benefits the countries not damage them. You don't charge $1 to do a piss Dubrovnik, small change yes.

Where the Hotel was and the ground all nice and clean well looked after, outside the grounds it was kinda disturbing to see the lack of care the locals had for their own land. The majority of tourists end up carrying around their trash until they find somewhere to deposit it safely, even if the place is a shit hole. I even saw the locals pissing up against a tree in the main square, because there were no public toilets, em didn't see any tourists doing that.

Don’t blame the tourists. If you give an inch, they take a yard. The real culprits are the local city councils. They have the option to control mass tourism. But GREED, yes GREED has gotten the better of them. This will be the ruin of all those must see places in the end. Mass tourism now needs mass(ive) control. We need to get smart or be outsmarted and then have nothing left to show for it. Am I glad I saw what I needed to see before tourism became mainstream. You simply cannot put any city at the top of a list. Once a place gets crowded, people will just move on to another and another until we wise up.

Simple but very rewarding. I have memories of Amsterdam, Prague, Venice, Machu Picchu and so many other places before mass tourism makes it extremely difficult to enjoy the fascination of these wonderful places.

It has gone through many "tourist pain" phases throughout the past nearly 4 decades... *but THESE DAYS?* These days (2019) it's NOT so much the tourists as it is for the following reasons. #1) The HOMLESS; #2) The STREET-LEVEL DRUG ADDICTS, many of them homeless; and #3), but NOT least, STINKIN' TRAFFIC. People like driving to get here, as well as driving around to see, as the public transit DOES NOT meet the needs of the public. Also, San Francisco will erect anything over so much as 6-square-feet. The sky views from some of the best "walk streets" are gone. Also, regarding the homeless, San Francisco has become known as *"The city where DOGS must watch out for HUMAN POOP."*

However Im think you should also add lazy to the reason why people go to the cliche destinations its easier to get a package trip its easier to sort out travel and easier to get information on the cliche destinations but personally I like that as it stops many tourists to certain places, the kind of people that have no imagination and just try to go to the cliche destinations are the people I want to avoid anyway. Also I think because of their expectations they also end up English/american enising everything, why would you want to go to Spain (as an example) and instead of eating Spanish food just eat sausage egg and chips??

I went to Bali in the 90's. My first experience with scams, touts, etc. Boy was i a rube!😂 But it gave me some good war stories. I did find it unique and beautiful but annoying. The instant i stepped out of the hotel property i would be surrounded by sellers. One pre-dawn morning in Lovina, i wanted to watch the sun rise and went to the beach. 0445 in the morning and a girl with a stack of sarongs starts walking towards me. Not one single minute could i stop to sit or stand in one place without being seen as a golden opportunity. Even the monkeys in the monkey forest of Ubud would not leave me be without an offering of peanuts😄💖

Hi Mojo, as a Dutch citizen I would recommend visiting places like: Vlissingen, Westland, den Haag.. most tourist dive into Amsterdam but the Netherlands outside the cities is much more rural and authentic, take a change and visit local communities! And please STOP using and throwing away plastics.. this is a MUST.

I visited Amsterdam this spring, along with Prague. Prague was far more overrun. You can escape the throngs in Amsterdam, but Prague is jam packed with visitors in the city center, and in my opinion, can’t handle it. The residents simply don’t raise their heads, and hustle through the throngs tight lipped and pissed off.

I think Japan is an honorable mention on this list. The increase in the rate of tourism there is heartbreaking. Watching a place like Kyoto go from a unique cultural icon to a Japanese theme park for selfie-stick toting tourists, all in less than a decade, is heartbreaking. And the Olympics and Rugby World Cup will only make it worse. I'm just glad I got to experience this fascinating country before the influx.
