We require to see your perspective !
Many people dream of living in their favorite vacation destination. Whether it’s the beach, the mountains, a quaint small town, or even a bustling city, tourists often think that their brief experience in a location must be the daily reality for that community…
However, tourism itself can often have a negative impact on the locals' everyday lives. There are the obvious effects of tourism, such as crowds, but oftentimes, there are differences that only the people who live there full-time notice…
Maybe you noticed that the constant traffic was making it more difficult to get to your job on time?
Maybe you’ve noticed damage to the natural environment, such as pollution, litter, or even forest fires?
Maybe the cost of living has increased to match tourist prices? Or wealthy individuals buying vacation homes have driven up property values to unaffordable prices?
Or perhaps you’ve noticed increased crime, leading locals to become wary of new people?
