The first applicant to leave the list of tourist destinations is Palma de Mallorca. Who would have thought, but the inhabitants of this Spanish resort are tired of the everyday crowds of tourists. The Spaniards stopped enjoying the profits that tourists bring to the city. Today they want one thing - that the authorities close the capital of the island for travelers.
Perhaps, soon tourists will not be able to admire the landscapes of the Ligurian park Cinque Terre. At the moment, the authorities of the region have limited the number of travelers to 1.5 million a year. Italians are worried about the unique nature of this area.
The authorities of one of the most popular resorts in Greece - Santorini - are also worried about the safety of this unique place. Thousands of newlyweds every day tend to get to the island for colorful photo sessions. At the moment, Santorini is allowed to visit only 8,000 tourists a day.
Venice, in which every day thousands of travelers come, is also under threat. Residents of the city-monument are trying to persuade local politicians to limit the number of tourists. Italians are concerned that vacationers litter streets and canals.
Barcelona is the most popular Spanish city among tourists. The authorities of the colorful metropolis already today are trying to influence the flow of tourists - the mayor of Barcelona Ada Colau has introduced a ban on issuing licenses to local residents who want to rent a house. Also, the construction of hotels has been stopped in the city.
The authorities are also trying to protect a unique place - the monastery of Taktsang in Bhutan - from the influx of tourists. Every year thousands of travelers and pilgrims try to get to this historical monument. Today, the authorities introduced a special tax for tourists - everyone wishing to enjoy the nature of this extraordinary place should pay $200.
One of the most amazing countries of our planet - Iceland - has been very popular with travelers for the last few years. For the state, in which only 300 thousand people live, this is a real problem. So far, the Icelandic authorities have not imposed any restrictions, but, probably, in the near future travelers who want to visit the country of fjords and geysers, may face obstacles.
The system of Buddhist cave temples Mogao, located in the Chinese province of Gansu, suffers significant damage from the massive influx of tourists. As a rule, this historical monument is visited by Chinese citizens. At the moment, the authorities have imposed restrictions - no more than 6,000 people are allowed to Mogao daily.
The island of Skellig Michael, located in Ireland, was recently quite unpopular with tourists. But after this place was shown in the next episode of "Star Wars", most of the resorts of the planet can envy the popularity of Skellig Michael. Local authorities, concerned about the popularity of the island, allowed tourists to visit it only five months a year - from May to September.
The most inaccessible place for the travelers is Antarctica. According to the rules of the island, companies bringing tourists to its banks should not allow more than a hundred people to go to the land simultaneously. And cruise ships, designed for 500 people or more, are not allowed to moor to the mainland.
The famous Inca city - Machu Picchu - only 2,500 people can visit it every day. The authorities of Peru, worrying about the nature of this unique area, obliged all tourists to fill in the questionnaires on the government website before arriving in the ancient city.
The Galapagos Islands are a paradise for many tourists. Today they are officially recognized as a national park and are under the protection of UNESCO. Visiting this nature reserve is allowed only with the assistance of a licensed guide.
