Same Happening in Manali (India) in may-june 😐😐,, I'm not against Tourism But Government should Limit the number of tourist arrival in some areas and I advise Tourist to Visit Much Needed and Unexplored Northeast Part of India Like Arunachal Pradesh 🙂🙂

This is totally happen in Bali, Many local people complain because of the bad behavior of tourists, lots of tourists who do not comply with local regulations, drive recklessly.

Social medias make people crazy for photos, they want their friends and family to know that they are having all fun and happiness while the others watching them on social media and not visiting those places don't.😢

Went to Uttarakhand and some other Indian locations. Toooooooo many people and it’s a mess. Trash everywhere and it’s smelling now. The number of people visiting a place has to be restrict to better administer it

Quality of Tourists are not like before. The New generations does not respect the cleaniness, rules and the Country. Its a failer in the long run.

Close down the red light district, problem solved.

There should be cooling period of 3 months for particular country to recover all its peace and let nature get time to clean its surroundings. Every country can restrict dedicated months where it can block travel

If more European countries legalized marijuana and prostitution Amsterdam would empty out.

Famous tourist places in India like Kashmir ,Himachal and Uttarakhand are bearing the brunt of overtourism ,be it regular tourists or religious. There is definitely a need to curb the flow of this mad rush everywhere at these destinations where we actually end up regretting our decisions as why the hell did we came here .

If all these restrictions are implemented in India due to overcrowding, pollution garbage, selfie etc. then god forbid what pandemonium will the opposition rake up!! Its time that we start controlling thr number of Indian tourists visitng temples and holy places like Kedarnath, Amarnath etc, Leh, Ladakh Manali etc. These are eco sensitive places and its time that we start doing something to save them.

In US we should restrict customers to Costco stores. They are as crowded😂

I so much liked this segment.... Its not just the foreign destination but even local destinations too which have become so much overcrowded. All in the name of selfies and photograph.....

I decided not to travel this year. I am treating my home and garden like a boutique hotel. Watching travel videos. Trying to have fun in my own city……What a relief !

Let's make every place so beautiful that everyone visits everywhere

This is good for the environment. The Philippines did it a few years ago with Boracay. Giving the place a breather and stablishing new laws to safeguard the environment .

True Amsterdam struggles from over tourism. Most people who are visiting The Netherlands, visit for a day or two but forget the fact that the country has a lot more to offer.

Ah, Sitting in India I can definitely feel the need for this in major tourist places. I am sure we know those places. Or at least educate tourists about how to behave with the environment or locals while traveling.

Rome and Paris you can’t even walk because of mass tourism

Well done Netherlands . Perhaps , perhaps we in India can hope someday before its too late to learn from this .

The first one to make cannabis legal. Now it is worried 😆

They are reluctant to tour, the European lifestyle is very lonely most of the time you live alone or with your partner and have a very limited friends circle. So, they travel to move away from their loneliness.

It’s high time people get happiness without traveling, it has become kind of necessity for people to travel, as if achieving something great,how much ever stress full it can get! What used to be a luxury is now a regular middle class family’s unwanted indulgence! Even the thought of traveling has become stressful 😀

if they stop providing drugs, there will be no over tourism.

ive noticed most of the uk looks like it has more migrants= but half of them are tourist's

When it happen in Africa they call it xenophobia😅

I stopped traveling, I now sit at home and watch travel documentaries on my 4k TV. It's as good as being there in person. No visa requirements, no chance of missing flight, no addimmison fees to sites and musumes, no crowds, no walking in the heat, no over priced food, no dirty hotels. When I had enough I just turn off my TV. No need to learn foreign language. I get home cooked dal, roti and chawal. Best of all, no risk of someone urinating on me and my family during the flight! That in itself is as good as gold. No, not to be mistaken for golden shower. Please don't mix them up.

If a country wants to reduce or stop tourists travelling then don't authorize visas and reduce incoming flights from other countries just like during the pandemic... whats the issue ?!

YES! This is SO TRUE! Thank you for articulating this issue which is so pressing but which is so little discussed. I live in Edinburgh, which, like Amsterdam and many other places, has become a victim of its own success in attracting visitors, in the case of Edinburgh, to its Festival and Fringe. Once upon a time, back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, these were outstanding cultural events: now, the Fringe is more like a Zombie Apocalypse, as ten thousand talentless teenage wannabes and a quarter of a million aimless gawpers invade our city, trash the place for a month, then depart, leaving us taxpayers to pay for the clean-up.

straight up clown world.

Similar situation arises when people rush to our hilly areas in winter to enjoy snowfall and in summer to mountains and rivers

Most of those numbers come from the cruise ports! Those people are not actually flying there and staying in the hotels etc. I personally don't want to go where I am not wanted. Spend your money wisely folks!!!

Countries don't need tourism to survive. Countries survived hundreds/thousands of years without tourism.

Its selfies, reels, and So-called influencers are killing the joy of each and every place..

It's a very good move by the countries

Same is for UTTARAKHAND... people of UP , DELHI & HARYANA mainly have been behaving so bad in our holy places of worship and they don't respect rules as well ... They don't maintain any decency , they think they've come to TEERTHA YATRA like clubs and outings . They dont know how to drive in narrow PAHADI mountain roads , pose risk to local drivers ... Responsible for major jamming and choking of roads .... Oh i have so much to complain about their hooliganism

Same in our Himachal and uttarakhand

same happening with uttrakhand and himachal...over tourism has literally ruined these beautiful lands...

Too bad this channel only tells half of the story in their news. The stay away campagne was for the group of British male's that want to over drink in the weekend.

There should be inner line permit for eco sensitive area of India like manali leh dehradun and all temple area in hilly region

Great idea. Overcrowding, infrastructure burden, traffic congestion, nature destruction, long waiting, hospitality staff getting agitated, food poisening, pushing the rental and cost of living. Restrict the daily arrivals with declaration how much to spend.

Love it! Ban is good but it is not sufficient until we address over population. Rationing to conserve and preserve environment/energy is finally getting some traction - still is too little too late.

I now live in Central America, I left the U.S. 8 years ago. I own a beachfront home, in a very beautiful part of the country. Myself and the locals fear more and more tourists arriving. Tourist from North America are often rude, feel entitled, don't obey traffic laws, don't respect the culture, are loud and are confrontational.

Cruise Ships cant stop even if there is reduction of tourists, because they are usually pre-scheduled. But yes the number of schedules may be high now and could be reduced. But that may not happen immediately, as otherwise ships get into huge losses.

I couldn't understand a lot of what she was saying and had to use subtitles. Anyway the Netherlands can stop tourists from entering, but it should be reciprocated to them. They shouldn't be allowed in other countries, especially work visas, etc.

That is why the world needs to put strict limits on Chinese tourists

Just hike up the price of hotel and airfare like crazy and it will reduce low quality tourists.

India should stop tourism and focus on greening the country _ slow pace. All this hype about tourism and foreign companies setting up base in India is a very bad thing. Over crowded, sickness, using up all the natura resources like water, land mass is the death of India.

Its not over tourism, it's overpopulation.

राजनीतिक लोगों को विदेशी पूंजी चाहिए ताकि बदले में अंतराष्ट्रीय मुद्रा भंडार कि हर एक नीतियों चलाकर अंतरराष्ट्रीय कंपनियों को सुविधाएं प्रदान करता है जो बहुत ज्यादा मुनाफा कमा रहे हैं और जनता गरीब हो रहा है

Many tourists also settle illegally

Been there, had a good time - beautiful monuments, great atmosphere, nice people, but extremely overrated as a whole. Rome was the only major Western European city that, for me, lived up to expectations (I’m a history nerd - so this is obviously subjective). I would suggest Central and Eastern Europe to anybody who wants to explore that continent. Stick to Asia for better value, food, biodiversity, traditions, friendlier/warmer locals.

You couldn’t find a single word to say about our own Shimlas and Nainitals where every summer every Tom, Dick and Hari from Karol Bagh lands up there? Our once beautiful hill stations are a cautionary tale of destruction of delicate eco systems.

in philippines there is a limit of number of visitors for certain islands like palawan and boracay..

that's why I always hated being in a regular "tourist" role

Selfie fine ? My girlfriend would go bankrupt

I'm surprised that many people can afford to spend so much money on traveling ! I get pissed off just from looking at hotel prices, fees, rates, fares, tariffs, etc. etc. etc.

Yes, due to post pandemic recovery, people stuck at home for a long time have pent-up demand for travel, and so there's.a tourist explosion in many places. Here in Chiang Mai, it was a huge shock to suddenly have lots of tourists...I know it's good for the economy, but I miss the quiet and beautiful natural environment the past couple of years. So many events going on all the time that it's hard to find a normal day to just work, shop, clean, etc. The main problem about tourism in general is that it is based on something that is inherently unethical and unsustainable: UNEQUAL FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES and PEOPLE STAYING SHORT TERM IN A PLACE AND SPENDING MUCH MORE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW LOCAL PRICES. The collapse of tourism during the pandemic (with our Night Bazaar shutting down and Thapae Road filled with homeless people) shows that a city or country should not depend on it as its main or only source of income...it needs to have other backup industries. The Internet has also made travel much less exciting and discovery-oriented than it used to be...more about showing off and less about new experiences. I was so interested to visit so many countries when I was younger, but now, because I can talk with people around the world using Zoom and watch videos on RU-vid of any place, I have little interest to travel anymore. With the amount of travel now, it's easy to meet people of many cultures while staying in one place and have experiences with those cultures just as intense as if you went to the country...for example, here in Chiang Mai, I've been able to work with scholarship students from. Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, Comoros, and Eritrea, countries I wouldn't want to go and stay in to work due to political problems and restrictions on the freedom of females there, but I've been able to learn so much about their cultures. Even living in Kuala Lumpur, I was able to teach Koreans, people from the Middle East, and people from the former USSR, and shared an apartment with Nigerians, and learnt so much about traditional Chinese culture (many of it which no longer exists in China) through Chinese friends and apartment mates and attending Chinese festivals and funerals. So a lot of tourism now is just unnecessary and pointless, but maybe more important in terms of seeing different natural environments than for cultural reasons.

In the Canary islands, also the local people are protesting for the same reasons.

What I want to know is are all of these ppl vaxxed?🤔🤔🤔

Price of tourist places should be increased. Helps reduce tourism and improve gdp

Tourism is different from Selfie Tourism. Ban selfie sticks and ban anyone with tiktok in any historical landmarks. Ban people with IG accounts who do not have a post graduate degree.

Traveling is important. It opens your mind in many ways. It’s completely wrong to say that the only reward of traveling is an Instagram picture. That’s not true.

India would be happy with anything over 😂

I thought liberals said the wall in the US was racist. Now I realize that to preserve culture it is necessary to restrict "migrants".

Come to Zimbabwe, mother nature is at her most original there and she will let you take as many selfies as you want❤

I wish palki took up the issue of over tourism in the hills of our own country. Once pristine untouched hills are now garbage landfills,water n soft drink bottles everywhere,empty food packets and just about everything that can be thrown is thrown. On top of that the stress on the fragile infrastructure is so heavy that the local civic bodies cannot cope. The impact of recent flooding in Manali, uttrakhand and Ladakh was a result of unplanned town planning arising out of greed to build hotels, restaurants,cafe and other tourist attractions on every inch of the land available.

India should take note.

Same in Goa too.

Amsterdam is not the capital of the Netherlands - piss poor journalism, but par for the course for Palki.

Save Uttarakhand from this O.T

Probably the main attraction of tourist is sex tourism, this is true in many Asian countries also.

Those are drug addicts from other countries

Uttarakhand is suffering from the same problem 😐 It is taking a big toll on the environment. Deforestation is rampant to make more space for the increasing number of tourists.

⛳️One of my most fav country. Good for Amsterdam.. such a lovely peaceful country.. So scary for it’s citizen to raise children in OVERTOURISM . We used to visit a lot to Western Europe before but now avoid as much possible because of overcrowded. Prefer Eastern Europe now…. And people are much nicer than arrogant Western Europe.

Very nice topic. The W.T.O. should further balance this issue.

Wait so they banned cannibus in....the red light district?? Why not ban the red light district?

London should do the same, as it has too many people

Who wants to go to Amsterdam anyways ??

Didn't they get the memo? They are supposed to raise their tourist tax until it DOES make a difference. I mean 3,000 per man woman and child at peak periods.

Same with Amritsar Golden temple, Sikhs in particular are not willing to have tourist in it’s religious places.

Just returned from Amsterdam. So true.

Come to Southern Africa we welcome u

Limiting the number of tourists sounds like a good idea, some countries tourism tax wouldn't cover the amount of maintenance and repairs that the cities have to cover!

No time to wash laundry by hotels 🤣

This is true in case of tourists visiting Western Ghats in Karnataka and polluting the pristine natural forests in the name of trekking and making reels for Instagram. Due to unregulated tourism the local people are bearing the burnt. Govt should regulate the private trekking firms and issue guidelines and quotas for number of people visiting these places. It’s really sad to see educated people polluting the environment and they live in Metro cities like Bengaluru and least bothered about the pollution they are causing.

"Revange Tourism", post covid . This is for the first time I got to know such Tourism or Word exists, I really couldn't control to laugh 😅.

Palki you are always ahead of others and discussing on topics of relevance to society and eco system. Netherlands and European countries are always eco friendly and cares for their people and environment. While every country is trying to promote tourism as major source of revenue, over crowded tourist destination and irresponsible tourists behaviour destroying the nature and eco system for momentary pleasures are negating the beauty and aesthetic charm on the tourist destinations and corrupting the locals as well as destroying the young generation with immoral activities and drug menace. Indian tourism destinations are already showing the I'll effect of over crowded tourism and natural calamities because of the infrastructure development due to seasonal demands. Religious places have become the hot spot for all immoral activities in the name of spiritual tourism. Even going to our neighbouring temples on weekend is a nightmare and we avoid going due to tourist over crowd and behaviour against local sentiments. Temples should restrict the number of tourists and reckless offering and corrupting the temple staffs for selfish purpose of dharsan and Prasad. Responsible citizen should discourage tourists spending exorbitantly on hotels and offering in temples

Send them all and to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Welcome all with the world's finest hospitality 🎉💐❤🙏

Speaks about overtourism in a European country, but not about overtourism in India itself. Himachal, Goa are suffering from over tourism

I'm a fan here in the Philippines 🌴

All thanks to social media and influencers who create FOMO , Even people can't afford and still takes loan and travel 🤡🤡

And the way we are trying to attract tourists in our country

Jesus son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend in Syria on the wings of two angels, his face dripping water as if he had just come out of the shower, his breath will reach the tips of his fingers, any person who enters into the space of his breath will die immediately except for Muslims, he will kill the pig and break the cross and then pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque with Muslims, Then he calls the Christians to convert to Islam, He also recommended them before (in the Gospel of Barnabas) to believe in Muhammad, the Messenger of God peace be upon him.[61:6] And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic. [61:7] And who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie against Allah when he is summoned unto Al-Islam ? And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. [61:8] Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light however much the disbelievers are averse. [61:9] He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it conqueror of all religion however much idolaters may be averse. ~

Its not just Amsterdam, but in so so many places across India.

Argue why camera modes like Bokeh mode can be dangerous to the environment because they are blurring out the environment and focusing just on the people? State nothing else Using camera modes like Bokeh, which emphasize the subject by blurring out the background, can be argued as potentially detrimental to the environment for the following reasons: 1. **Lack of Environmental Awareness**: By consistently blurring out natural surroundings, these modes may contribute to a collective desensitization, where viewers become less aware or appreciative of the environmental details. This reduced environmental consciousness could lead to decreased efforts in conservation and preservation. 2. **Missed Opportunities for Environmental Education**: Photographs have the power to educate and inspire. By blurring out nature, opportunities to showcase the beauty, intricacy, or fragility of our environment are lost. These missed opportunities can hinder environmental education and advocacy efforts. 3. **Prioritizing Humans Over Environment**: Continual use of such modes can subtly reinforce anthropocentric views, suggesting that only humans or man-made objects are worth being the focus. This might further entrench the idea that the environment is merely a backdrop rather than an essential entity deserving attention and care. 4. **Lost Sense of Place**: An environment tells a story about a location's ecology, history, and culture. By consistently blurring it out, we might be erasing the significance of place, leading to a generic understanding of our world, which can reduce the urgency to protect unique ecosystems. ChatGPT

Thanks for the video. On of the videos at 2:03 is from Nyhavn, Copenhagen not Amsterdam. Please double verify the content 😊

Over turism is bad for any country. I,m not against Turism at ALL but it should be a limited number of people to visit each year... Exemple : South of Portugal is suffering a severe drought due the climate change...and also due the severe drought Around the Mediterranean ... There is many golf ⛳ camps in Algarve south Portugal.. Which consume brutal amounts of water 🌊 to irrigate them... Those spaces are our land to plant iur food, and we need the water to irrigate and grow our crops. Massive turism is changing our land not for the better... I don't care if they are saying that Turism is good for economy. It is....and it isn't... Humans need food and water first. Not golf course... Its a Lock of wisdom to build those golf courses in a small country with limited sources...

Why can’t they use battery powered ships than coals? Charge $1000 per person per day and overtourism will be instantly taken care of.

They are building mega brothel , so the number of tourists will definitely drop 😂😂😂
