Popular tourist destinations like Venice, Barcelona, Santorini, Dubrovnik, and Amsterdam are facing challenges due to overcrowding, increased housing costs, and strain on local services caused by a surge in visitors. Residents in these cities express concerns about sustainability, quality of life, and preservation of their unique characteristics. In contrast, Explore Flint & Genesee is reviving its 'Be a Tourist in Your Hometown' event to encourage local exploration and community engagement, offering access to multiple attractions for a nominal fee. Additionally, the Dutch trade fair Modefabriek focuses on women's fashion and internationalization, adapting its concept to industry needs and emphasizing professionalism. The travel industry sees a shift towards private villa rentals over traditional hotels, driven by the desire for safety, privacy, and personalized experiences, particularly notable in destinations like Croatia. In London, residents living in picturesque streets like Hillgate Village face challenges with strangers using their homes as backdrops for photoshoots and TikTok videos, highlighting the impact of social media on residential privacy.
