Countries Where Tourists Are No Longer Welcome

Various Alpine Villages, Europe (e.g., Hallstatt, Austria): Preserving Authenticity

Picturesque Alpine villages, like Hallstatt in Austria, have become overwhelmed by selfie-seeking crowds, particularly from Asian tour groups. Residents have protested the constant influx, leading to discussions about limiting day-trippers, restricting bus access, and even placing physical barriers in popular photo spots to deter crowds. These villages are struggling to maintain their quiet, traditional way of life against the onslaught of mass tourism, forcing them to consider measures that effectively say "no more" to unchecked visitor numbers.
