Overtourism

Notion : espaces et échanges

I have to deal with the notion of « espaces et échanges ». I will focus my presentation on overtourism, that we worked in class.With increase of tourist in the world.

The question we can ask ourselves is what are the causes and consequences of this mass tourism ? And what are the solutions to control this ?

For respond at this question, I will used, three documents, that we studied in class. The first is a video, it is reportage about Venice of PBS. He includes a interview of tourist in venice. The second document is article . This name is frist venice and Barcelona : now anti-tourism marches spread across Europe published en 2017. Thirdly, the last document is a write document. It is what can tourists to do avoid overtourism ?that

Just like exposes explicitly the problem, I will start to explain the causes them consequences of masstourism. And to finish with the solution against that.

First of all,the masstourim is a wage of tourist during a small period. The primary cause is the cost of travel. Now with the differents means of travel and the competition between they, the price of travel are low. In a travel, there are two important things : the mean of transport and the housing over there. For the mean of transport, there are ouigo with the train, easyjet with the plane, blablacar with the car, or ouibus with the bus . And for the housing, there is the most popular airbnb. The document 2, first venice and barcelona, expressed the problème with this business. In fact, this compagny is criticized because she is uncheckered, many housing are unlicensed.

Moreover, we speak in the document 2 first venice and barcelona, that entraine also the rising rents, in conclusion, the tourists squeeze local residents out., In the document 1 and 2, we share the local residents revolt for there are find solution. For exemple, the protesters slash tyres and protests in order to be heard.

To finist, solutions are found but there are not everytimes applied, for exemple,in the article first venice and barcelona, the city of barcelona hiring person for can control the licence of hising as well airbnb, in order to decrease the overtourism. The solution does not have to come from the government, but she does come tourists ourselves. The name of this methode is responsable tourism that is to be environmentaly friendly, the therm is briefly addresssedin the document 2 and is the main subject in the third document,who is , what can tourists do to avoid overtourism? The tips are as follows: firstly not visit the bigger cities or the catipal of the country , but to broaden one's horizons, vist a small city, where there are less tourism, where the local residents are happy to see you, where you help to make the village live.
