The harmful effects of too much tourism:

- A lot of houses become vacation homes, where the owners stay in another place, and rent their property to tourists for short lets.
- As a place gets full of tourists, the local community is outnumbered.
- Mostly, only the service industry flourishes
- (I'd probably write more later)

@SW-User 🤔sadly if you are in a part of the world that is a tourist attraction / area of natural beauty this is the result .it may make it intolerable for local residence but it is bringing in money too the local economy

@smiler2012 Very true. The difficult part is balancing the tourism, protecting what they come to see, and local needs, but many areas of the world are being badly damaged.
