Overtourism is eroding the soul of many cities. Historic neighborhoods turn into souvenir malls, local rents skyrocket, and residents are pushed out. Venice now feels like a theme park, Barcelona locals protest cruise ships, Kyoto’s geisha districts are mobbed by selfie sticks. Authentic culture gets staged for tourists, daily life becomes performance, and silence disappears. When a city exists mainly to be consumed, its unique spirit fades.https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/jul/18/overtourism-is-killing-the-worlds-great-cities
