Overtourism Crisis Hits Japan and Greece2023-09-22
Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage site, and Greece's popular destinations, such as Santorini and Paros, are facing the challenges of overtourism.Mount Fuji has experienced a significant increase in visitors, with over five million tourists in 2019, more than double the number in 2012. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the issue, as more tourists flocked to the mountain. The popular fifth hiking station has been particularly affected, with overcrowding leading to congestion on the mountain trails and putting pressure on limited facilities.In Greece, tourism accounts for 25% of the country's economy, but it has also led to issues of overtourism in popular destinations like Santorini and Paros. Santorini, for instance, receives up to two million visitors annually, straining the island's infrastructure and environment. In Paros, residents have protested against privately owned sunbeds and parasols occupying large stretches of beach, leaving no space for others.Efforts are being made to address the issue in both destinations. Mount Fuji officials are considering entrance fees and access restrictions, while Greece is limiting visitor numbers at the Acropolis and promoting tourism in other parts of the country throughout the year. These measures aim to alleviate the strain on the environment, infrastructure, and local communities caused by overtourism.
