WTTC & McKinsey Report Addresses Overtourism Issues In Greece

Released by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and McKinsey & Company, their latest report addresses the issues surrounding tourism, including constrained infrastructure, diminished cultural experience, damage to natural resources, threat to cultural heritage, and alienation of local residents.

Titled “Coping with Success: Managing Overcrowding in Tourism Destinations”, the report found that the top 20 country destinations – among these France, the US, Spain, China and Italy – will add more arrivals by 2020 than the rest of the world combined.

Greece is also among these countries expected by 2020 to see the number of international tourist arrivals rise by 3 million.

Besides highlighting the problems posed by too much tourism, the survey also identifies actions including extending visitor numbers over time, spreading visitors across sites, adjusting pricing to balance supply and demand, regulating accommodation supply and limiting access and activities.
