<\/b>Experts assume that the term \u201ctourism\u201d includes \u201csustainable\u201d, a fundamental aspect for this industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we have already observed<\/a>, the tourist pressure is affecting the most popular mass destinations and the resident community developed an hostile sentiment towards tourists, or at least towards those who do not act responsibly. <\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>overtourism<\/i><\/span> phenomenon is when a tourist destination exceeds in tourist flows, causing damages to the resident community and reducing the tourism experience. This is happening not only in Europe, but all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent article from CNN is entitled 12 destinations travelers might want to avoid in 2018<\/a>; we fully list them here below.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Isle of Skye, Scotland<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Barcelona, Spain<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Dubrovnik, Croatia<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Venice, Italy<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Santorini, Greece<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Bhutan<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Taj Mahal, India<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Mount Everest, Nepal-side<\/span><\/p>\n

9.Machu Picchu, Peru<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Gal\u00e1pagos Islands, Ecuador<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Cinque Terre, Italy<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Antarctica<\/span><\/p>\n

All these destinations own an outstanding natural and\/or cultural heritage that is reportedly threatened by the effects of <\/span>overtourism<\/i><\/span>. Moreover, as we outlined in a previous article<\/a>, it\u2019s recommended to visit alternative destinations in the same area or to act differently, such as travelling there out of the peak seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this article focuses on a strategic aspect that is that the mass destinations may decrease their appeal to tourists. For sure, in 2018 it is recorded the disaffection of international media.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lonely Planet in its Best in Travel 2018<\/a> doesn\u2019t list any of the above mentioned destinations and the same for the Telegraph in The 20 destinations you must visit in 2018<\/a>. They are not either present in the Forbes Travel Guide’s 18 Top Destinations Of 2018<\/a>. Barcelona is the only one considered in the Top 25 Destinations \u2014 World<\/a> from TripAdvisor, while Antarctica is in the 32 Top destinations where travel experts are going on holiday in 2018<\/a> from the Independent, but with the purpose of a responsible travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>Twissen<\/b><\/span> we have observed that the impacts of <\/span>overtourism<\/i><\/span> are creating headaches to the destination managers that, in order to keep relevant performances, must deal with a new (mandatory) scenario necessarily supported by <\/span>new policies and specific plans<\/b><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
