Island schließt sich Thailand, den Philippinen, Indonesien, Japan, Bhutan und anderen Nationen bei der Eindämmung des Overtourism an, indem es strenge Besucherquoten, Bußgelder und umweltbewusste Gebühren durchsetzt, um nachhaltige Tourismuspraktiken in der gesamten Region zu fördern

The Philippines has already lost tourists without any effort due to high costs and difficulty of getting around. Even locals find it more convenient to vacation in other SEA countries.

As a backpacker (read: tourist) that has visited Thailand and Iceland, good. They’re beautiful countries and they really need some kind of tourist protection measures. Too many people are disrespectful and the best times I had in those countries were when I didn’t see other tourists for days on end. The second I saw another tourist I knew I’d be seeing trash and graffiti soon after.

This article says like nothing of value. I think we all knew the AI agents are garbage

They have a right to do that, but let’s not forget that these same countries spent ad money promoting their countries to tourists.

Every country should enforce rules like this because visitors from the “bigger” countries have such big ass egos and think they can do whatever because they are from their “special” country

Well we all know that the Philippines won’t use the money to fix their infrastructure issues, it will all go into the pockets of politicians. It’s a beautiful country with great people, just don’t expect the electricity to stay on 24/7. 

Nothing but making the goose lay more golden eggs without killing it.
