The Rise of Access to Travel as it Relates to Overtourism

February 20
1h 10m

Episode Description

In this episode we're continuing our conversation about overtourism. Why are there so many tourists? Can we, as tourists, do anything to curb the problems? Why do many locals want more restrictions or bans on short-term vacation rentals? We'll answer those questions and talk about how the problems with over tourism can be solved and who can solve them.


In this episode we talked about the Venice Entry fee and how it's affected tourism. You can check out Darcy's article "⁠What is the Venice Entry Fee in 2026?⁠" to see how it may affect your trip.
