Mallorca ist die größte Insel der Balearen im Mittelmeer und eines der beliebtesten Reiseziele Deutscher Touristen. Kein Wunder, denn die landschaftliche Vielfalt ist kaum zu übertreffen: Geschützte Badebuchten, Kalksteinberge und das zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe gehörende Gebirge Serra de Tramuntana mit seinen malerischen Olivenhainen, alte Dörfer mit Steinhäusern umgeben von Zitrusplantagen und die Mandelblüte im Frühjahr sind beeindruckend. Berühmt-berüchtigt ist die Insel aber auch für die Partytouristen mit ihren exzessiven Gelagen rund um den Veranstaltungsort “Mega-Park”. Der “Ballermann” ist eine Attraktion besonderer Art. NDR-Reporterin Bettina Peulecke hat die Insel bei ihrem ersten Besuch während Corona mit sehr wenigen Touristen erlebt. Danach bei weiteren, längeren Aufenthalten mit immer wiederkehrenden, ansteigenden Besucherzahlen. „Overtourism“ und Nachhaltigkeit wurde zum vieldiskutierten Thema. Die Insel möchte, wie auch auf der letzten ITB vehement von der balearischen Ministerpräsidentin Marga Prohens propagiert, in Zukunft für nachhaltigen Tourismus stehen. In dieser Folge von "Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti" treffen wir daher Menschen, die sich dafür engagieren: Bei nachhaltiger Olivenöl- und Textilproduktion auf dem alten Anwesen "Son Moragues" in der Tramuntana oder beim Tauchgang mit einer Gruppe junger Männer aus Bremen. Und eine Familie aus dem Schwabenland ist begeistert von einem All-inclusive-Hotel in Port d´Alcudia, in dem Kreislaufwirtschaft schon seit 10 Jahren an der Tagesordnung ist.
It's a crazy time in Rome with the Conclave and the Year of Jubilee. We talk about the movie and it's similarities to the Conclave happening right now.

As you’ll hear in this discussion, it’s Earth Month, and we couldn’t not have an episode about sustainability efforts within travel. Here, host Rebecca Tobin speaks with Paula Vlammings, the chief impact officer of nonprofit Tourism Cares, and Travel Weekly hospitality editor Christina Jekski about some of the hot topics of 2025. Topics we cover: Solutions to overtourism; why travelers don’t want to pay more for green travel initiatives; and whether recent shifts in U.S. policy will have an impact on sustainability efforts. This episode was recorded April 24 and was edited for length and clarity.

偶然インスタグラムから見てしまった迷惑クリエーターの動画を見てから、ずっと心が沈んで頭が痛い状態です。 １０００万人を超える観光客に疲れている、orヘイト（憎しみ）、イライラが募る日本人たち。政府は２０３０年までに５０００万人の観光客を入れることを目標に掲げている。しかし現状は・・？どうすれば解消される？ そんなことを話してますが、YouTberみたいにうまく話せないので長くなってしまいました。かる〜く、BGMとして聞いてください。After accidentally watching a video by a disruptive “creator” on Instagram, I've been feeling down and have had a headache ever since.Many Japanese people are feeling exhausted—some even resentful or angry—towards the over 10 million tourists visiting the country.Meanwhile, the government aims to bring in 50 million visitors annually by 2030.But… how's that working out, really? And what can we do to fix this situation?That's what I talk about in this episode.I couldn't speak as smoothly as a YouTuber, so it ended up being a bit long.But I hope you'll listen casually—just as background noise.このエピソードスクリプトつくりました。The script herehttps://buymeacoffee.com/mikasensei/extras

Con il week end di Pasqua torna, e ad un costo raddoppiato, il ticket per entrare a Venezia, mentre la costiera amalfitana reintroduce le targhe alterne e il Parco delle Cinque Terre il senso unico in alcuni sentieri. All'estero Barcellona continua a dichiarare guerra agli affitti brevi che verranno banditi dal 2029 e Amsterdam a scoraggiare il turismo giovanile e low cost. E così tante altre destinazioni vittima dell'overtourism, fenomeno che rischia di minacciare la conservazione del patrimonio e il benessere delle comunità locali, con una frattura spesso evidente tra turisti e residenti. Ma oltre a divieti, numeri chiusi, e limitazioni quali sono le altre strategie per contrastare l'overtourism e conciliare la fragilità di alcuni luoghi con l'attività turistica? In che modo tecnologia e intelligenza artificiale possono aiutare a gestire meglio i flussi? E soprattutto: come incentivare un turismo alternativo e meno concentrato nel tempo e nello spazio, visto che il 70% dei flussi internazionali si riversa solo sull'1% del territorio italiano?

Many places allow tourists to visit with little restrictions. But Bhutan is different. Nestled in the Himalayas, this tiny, land-locked country has implemented a “high-value, low-impact” tourism model, including a fee that tourists have to pay each day that they visit. As more destinations grapple with the effects of overtourism, what can Bhutan teach us about how to manage it? Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Overtourism is one of those sprawling topics that everybody in the travel business has opinions on. Solutions are a bit more complicated, but let's dig in with tourism taxes, diversionary tactics, bans on cruise ships, the rise of "de-marketing," tax credits for better business practices, caps on hotel construction, and other tools that make our lives and our travel plans a bit less frantic.
Der Schweizer Tourismus boomt – 43 Millionen Übernachtungen gab es 2024, über 12 Prozent davon in Graubünden. Doch wann ist zu viel?

Overtourism is a buzz word of late, but not a good one. We've all read about the cities and regions being overrun by tourists, who might be damaging natural or historical sights, or making an area unaffordable for its original residents to stay in. In this episode of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, I speak with three guests with an interest in overtourism and ask for their thoughts. First up, I speak with Dylan Thuras of Atlas Obscura. Dylan's whole website and podcast are based around encouraging people to learn about, and visit, less popular, more obscure places, so he's been thinking about overtourism and its opposite, undertourism, for many years. I then chat with Jamie Burr, who specialises in marketing for responsible tourism businesses, and therefore also has a significant interest in overtourism and how we might deal with it. Finally, Chris Christou from The End of Tourism podcast talks about some future alternatives for tourism, speaking from the example of his home of Oaxaca in Mexico, that may be one way to mitigate the problems of overtourism.

On this edition of Peace Talks Radio, we explore the issue of overtourism. Destinations around the globe are facing the impact of tourism on local residents, cultures, economies, and the environment. How can we ensure this impact is a positive one, and minimize the conflict and harm that our travel can cause?

Journalist and author Paige McClanahan speaks about her book The New Tourist: Waking Up to the Power and Perils of Travel. Dr. Kiona, founder of Reroot Travel, speaks about how her company endeavors to take a regenerative approach to tourism, as opposed to an exploitative one. Dr. Freya Higgings-Desbiolles, an academic who studies tourism's potential to foster a more peaceful world, addresses systemic solutions to addressing the conflict caused by overtourism.

Overtourism has become a pressing issue for popular destinations like Palma de Mallorca, Spain, which welcomed 17 million visitors in 2023 alone. As the influx of travelers overwhelms local resources, residents feel the strain, with soaring housing prices and stagnant wages exacerbating the problem. Protests in various Spanish cities last summer highlighted the locals' frustrations with the tourists and the lack of affordable rentals during the peak season. The episode explores the stark income disparity between wealthy visitors and lower-paid locals, and the impact of vacation rentals on the community. Solutions such as raising wages, increasing housing availability, and imposing stricter regulations on short-term rentals are discussed as potential ways to address the challenges posed by over-tourism. Plus an interview with a local tourism guide named Marise from Palma. who faces challenges from locals frequently.

Overtourism has been a thing for a long time, but post-2020, it seems like many places have gotten worse. Maybe it is the world in its revenge travel era, maybe it is social media, books, and movies/shows, or maybe just a lot of people have always wanted to visit a particular place. Either way, it is becoming a big problem. From a small town in Vermont banning tourists to protests in Barcelona leaving tourists soaked during dinner, it isn't pleasant for tourists or locals. How does overtourism impact travel? Will there ever be a peak in tourism? Are we at that peak? How does it impact our travels as well as yours?

In September Greek Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni announced the introduction of special fees for passengers disembarking from cruise ships at Mykonos, Santorini and some other ports. The fees are part of a broader strategy to manage the resurgence of mass tourism post-covid, reducing some of the negative impacts such as pressure on water supplies, waste management and overcrowding, while spreading the economic benefits more fairly across society. Greece is not alone in considering how to alleviate the tensions arising when exceptional numbers of tourists arrive during peak holiday times. Venice has limited the size of tour groups, charging visitors a daily entry fee and the mayor of Barcelona has pledged to eliminate short-term tourist lets in the city within five years, to ease housing pressures. With revenues from international tourism reaching USD 1.8 trillion last year according to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation, many governments and experts are thinking carefully about how to strike a balance between the economic boost, the tourist experience and the welfare of local communities. Can tourists be enticed away from those Instagram hot spots and what potential solutions could Greece employ to deal with overtourism? Contributors Katerina Kikilia, Head of Tourism Management, University of West Attica, Athens Sandra Carvão, Director of Market Intelligence, Policies, and Competitiveness, UN World Travel Organisation Kumi Kato, Professor in Tourism Studies, Wakayama University, Japan Cevat Tosun, Eisenhower chair and professor of Tourism Studies and management at George Washington University School of BusinessPresenter: Charmaine Cozier Production: Diane Richardson and Matt Toulson Broadcast Co-ordinator: Jacqui Johnson Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Toby James (Image: Oia, Thira, Greece / Getty Images: Fernando Vazquez Miras)

In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss discuss what it means to be 'authentic' in the context of tourism. By examining the work of Ning Wang, they consider how authenticity in tourism research can be conceptualised in a number of different ways. One of these ways leads Louis to recount a time Eric ruined a sightseeing excursion they once went on. Louis also explains in this episode why he enjoys watching Antiques Roadshow. Not to be outdone, Eric wonders aloud where people defecate when they go bushwalking in Australia.

Barcelona has always attracted crowds, but now it's attracting protests from locals angered at the negative consequences of being one of Europe's most popular destinations. This is especially true as large cruise ships can dock close to some of the city's most famous landmarks. On today's show, we look at how cruise ships are both driving revenues and frustrations in Barcelona, and we consider what the city's options are for regulating the flow of visitors.

Welcome to episode 155! This week, Shafik Meghji rejoins me for a second time to discuss travelling in Patagonia. In this episode, we will touch on Cordoba, Argentina's second city, and why it isn't on the traveller's radar for travel in Argentina. We discuss the best times to travel to Patagonia, the issue of over-tourism, and the different entry points into the region. We explore the landscapes and attractions of Patagonia's Argentine and Chilean sides, including the Peninsula Valdes, Welsh Patagonia, Los Glaciares National Park, and the Lake District. Patagonia can be expensive, but we mention the affordability of travelling by bus in the region and highlight the Tren del Fin del Mundo, the southernmost railway on earth, and travelling by boat in Chile to reach Patagonia.Shafik talked us through his previous travels to the region when he visited Ushuaia, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands and Antarctica. Shafik has travelled in the region for the last two decades and was based in Buenas Aires for a year in his younger days. He is an expert in the region, and I am so glad to get his thoughts on Patagonia. Thanks, Shafik, for coming to the show; we will get that hat trick in!TakeawaysPatagonia is a vast region spanning the southern halves of Argentina and Chile, known for its dramatic landscapes and wilderness.The best times to visit Patagonia are spring + autumn to avoid the peak summer crowds.Overtourism is a concern in popular spots like Torres del Paine.Comfortable buses offer amenities like meals + entertainment.The End of the World Train in Ushuaia, Argentina, was built by convict labour + is now a tourist attraction.Ushuaia is the main port for ships to Antarctica, and visiting Antarctica is a popular tourist activity.Cordoba, Argentina's second city, is known for its beautiful architecture, universities, and surrounding natural attractions.Travelling independently in Patagonia is possible with some planning, and the public transport network is reliable.Train travel in Europe is a great way to explore the continent.Shafik MeghjiWebsiteInstagramWinging It Travel PodcastWebsiteCreditsHost/Producer/Creator/Writer/Composer/Editor - James HammondPodcast Art Design - Swamp Soup Company - Harry UttonSupport Winging ItBuy Me A Coffee - HereMerch Store - Here Buy My Digital Travel Planner - HereAffiliate Links If you book anything using my resources link below, I get a tiny commission, which helps the podcast.https://www.wingingittravelpodcast.com/resourcesThanks!Hosted by Ausha.

Episode 165: Tackling Overtourism – A Guide to Sustainable Travel Welcome back to The Family Vacationer. I'm your host, Rob, and today we're diving deep into a pressing issue in the travel world: overtourism. This year has seen tourism take on new challenges, and overtourism has emerged as a major concern. But what does overtourism mean, and how can we tackle it? In this episode, we'll explore the impact of too many tourists on our favorite destinations and discuss how we can make a positive difference through sustainable travel practices. What is Overtourism? Overtourism happens when a destination experiences so many visitors that it starts to suffer. This usually results in environmental damage, cultural erosion, and a diminished experience for both tourists and locals. Think of it as loving a place to death: the very beauty that draws people in becomes compromised by the sheer volume of visitors. Examples Around the World Venice, Italy: This city's iconic canals and historic buildings are being damaged by the overwhelming number of tourists. The influx has strained the city's infrastructure and endangered its preservation. Barcelona, Spain:*Famous landmarks like La Sagrada Família and Park Güell face massive crowds, which affect the quality of life for residents and the visitor experience. Hawaii and New York City: These popular spots are grappling with the effects of excessive tourism, from the strain on natural landscapes in Hawaii to overcrowded attractions in New York. What Can Families Do? Embracing Sustainable Tourism Sustainable tourism is key to reducing the negative impacts of travel while maximizing benefits to local communities and environments. Here's how you can get involved: 1. Conserve Resource 2. Support Local Economies 3. Be Culturally Sensitive 4. Reduce Waste 5. Minimize Environmental Impact Practical Tips for Families 1. Plan Ahead 2. Travel Off-Peak 3.Educate Your Family 4. Be Mindful 5. Leave No Trace Alternative Destinations Explore these less crowded but equally enchanting destinations: - Instead of Paris... - Instead of Santorini... - Instead of Tokyo... - Instead of Venice... Closing Thoughts As travelers, we play a crucial role in shaping the future of the destinations we visit. By embracing sustainable tourism and considering alternative destinations, we can help preserve the beauty and integrity of these places for future generations. Remember, it's not just about where we go but how we travel that makes a difference. We're not here to tell you how to think or what to do. The hope is just to raise awareness of these very real issues for your consideration. That's a wrap for today's episode of The Family Vacationer. I hope this discussion on overtourism has given you valuable insights and practical tips. If you have questions or tips of your own, feel free to reach out to us. rob@thefamilyvacationer.live Thanks for joining me today, and as always, keep your passports and your hearts open. Safe travels, everyone!
