About this listen

Overtourism has been in the news recently with protests in Spain, Portugal, and Italy as residents come together to resist the soon-to-be-coming wave of tourists this summer. While we also believe overtourism is a problem, we don't believe it's entirely the tourists' fault.

So, how can you help? In this episode we offer seven pieces of advice that may help you be a more mindful tourist. Our goal is to encourage tourists to travel and benefit local communities rather than putting a strain on them.

If you have any thoughts on overtourism, or if you have any questions either about Italy or your upcoming trip, you can find us on our ⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠!

If you'd like to support the podcast, you can do so by using our ⁠⁠⁠⁠Booking.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ link when booking your trip to Italy or anywhere!

If you'd like to support us directly, you can donate to us on Ko-fi (pronounced "coffee"), linked ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

As always, thank you for listening!
