The Herman Trend Alert
September 19, 2018 Overtourism According to the latest figures from the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), in 2017, international tourist arrivals set a new record at 1.332 billion, up by about 84 million. That number represents 7 percent growth the largest increase since 2010---and this growth has been happening for eight years in a row. In the first 4 months of 2018, Asia and the Pacific led the world with an increase of 8 percent, while the other regions of Europe (+7 percent), Africa (+6 percent), the Middle East (+4 percent), and the Americas (+3 percent) also recorded upticks. (As previously reported, we believe strongly that the nationalistic and isolationist rhetoric of the current administration has been responsible for depressing these numbers.)
The benefits of tourism
"Overtourism" defined
Locals revolt
The near-term and no-so-near-term futures Special thanks to TravelMole.com for raising our consciousness to this important issue. When they asked their thousands of UK and US travel providers whether they considered overtourism to be "a real issue", 57 percent "Yes"., for calling our attention to this new development.
