1Cinque Terre, Italy
Cinque Terre, a string of five colorful fishing villages along the Ligurian coast, is one of Italy’s most stunning tourist destinations. However, the narrow streets and cliffside pathways are often overwhelmed by tourists, particularly during the summer months. The influx of visitors has put a strain on local infrastructure and led to environmental degradation in the region. To combat overtourism, local authorities have implemented measures like capping the number of daily visitors, especially those arriving by cruise ship, and encouraging visitors to explore other parts of the Italian Riviera.
