effects on cultural exchange, cosmopolitanism, and the economy &#8211; tourism is also a burden on the population, the climate, and the environment. So, it&#8217;s time for a more respectful approach to such great destinations, time for a no-visit list <em>(and for a coffee while you are reading).<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>1.

Unfortunately, the 5\u20ac entrance fee for day tourists doesn&#8217;t help.<\/p><p><strong>2. Athens, the Acropolis <em>(doesn\u2019t surprise us either)<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Did you know that 760 cruise ships called at Athens in 2022? Sometimes there are 9 ships a day. With 2,000-3,000 people per ship. That makes 27,000 visitors. Per day! <em>(And then there are the other tourists&#8230; Phew!)<\/em><\/p><p><strong>3. Mount Fuji, Japan, the symbol of tranquility and <em>\u201choliness\u201d<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Not anymore: 4 million people visited the Yoshida Trail last year.<\/p><p><strong>4. Ha Long Bay, Vietnam<\/strong><br \/>Sensational film location from <em>&#8220;Indochine&#8221;, &#8220;Pan&#8221;, &#8220;Kong&#8221; (but not James Bond, \u201cTomorrow never dies\u201d, which was filmed in Thailand).<\/em> These days it is known more for its littering, which is not surprising given the approx. 8.5 million visitors in 2023.<\/p><p><strong>5. Atacama Desert, Chile<\/strong><br \/>Marketed as one of the most romantic places in the world, the desert has now mutated into a dumping ground for fast fashion. Chile is the largest importer of used clothing <em>(from the USA, the EU and Asia).<\/em> Everything that cannot be reused or sold obviously ends up in the desert, as the dumping of clothing in official landfills is prohibited. Welcome to absolute absurdity\u2026<\/p><p><strong>6. Koh Samui, Thailand<\/strong><br \/><em>\u201cThe place to be\u201d <\/em>for island-beach-palm-fans. This has resulted in immense water consumption in recent years: 7,925,162 US.liq.gal. of fresh water per day <em>(70% of which is used for hotels and restaurants).<\/em> It is feared that the groundwater reservoirs are exhausted and a water pipeline from the mainland has not brought the desired relief.<\/p><p><strong>And then there&#8217;s Nepal and Mount Everest<\/strong> <em>(454 permits for an ascent in one season*!).<\/em> Or Mallorca and Barcelona (the motto there now is &#8220;Tourists go home&#8221;). Not to mention the so-called camper insider tips in Croatia, Denmark or the Alentejo or you name it.<\/p><p><strong>Somehow, we have to manage to find a different approach to our vacations, to traveling, and <em>\u201cfreedom\u201d.<\/em><\/strong> Otherwise, we will devalue what is so precious to us: The vast expanse by the sea, in the mountains. The peace and quiet. Nature. The unknown. The people.<\/p><p>Time for me to grab a second coffee and think about whether a two-week vacation at home would be fun.
