Many European destinations bringing measures for curbing over tourism
Resentments against tourists were rampant in 2017. In Barcelona, a tourist bus was held and bike tyres were slashed. In Venice, they marched against the cruise ships and raised rents. In some Spanish cities, wall writings said in bold, “Tourists go home.”
With the summer season just around the corner, tourism bosses across Europe are trying to implement new measures that will keep locals happy as well as bring in revenue for the economy.
The UNWTO Secretary-General, Zurab Pololikashvili said, “Someone said there is no overtourism, only undermanagement. What we are facing is the clear need to step up the governance of tourist flows on the ground, especially if we look at growing tourist numbers in general and growing flows to urban destinations.”
Among solutions floated at a tourism conference in Berlin yesterday included tightening up on Airbnb rentals, better management of tourism flow and widespread use of digital tools.
Spanish officials have already introduced an online ticketing system for the fortified Islamic palace of Alhambra, offering its 2.7 million annual visitors pre-booked slots for controlling the crowds.
Venice, Amsterdam and Dubrovnik are also trying to move visitors away from hotspots and decrease the crowd.
At the ITB travel convention in Berlin, representatives from Dubrovnik, Barcelona and Amsterdam shared solutions with the audiences present there. Amsterdam has already banned beer bikes, coaches, new tourist shops and cruise ships from its historic city centre. The city has imposed taxes on Airbnb and is considering flat-rate lodging levies that would discourage budget travellers.
Barcelona has cracked down on illegal unlicensed apartments for rent, though its tourism director, Joan Torrella, said that authorities have to work with Airbnb.
Dubrovnik’s Mayor, Mato Franković, hopes that this year would be an easier summer for visitors.
