While some places are planning campaigns to attract more tourists, places such as Venice are tired of the influx and protesting against over tourism.
Places such as Santorini capped the number of cruise visitors at 8,000 per day and Cinque Terre introduced a ticketing system to ensure no more than 1.5 million tourists are in the area at any one time. Tourists' tax has been introduced in Barcelona hoping that would limit the number of tourists visiting the place.
Amsterdam, recently, took a new approach to deal with its increasing tourist numbers.
This capital of the Netherlands is a popular holiday destination and attracts over 14 million visitors each year; which is why the tourism authority is getting creative rather than prohibitive with its solutions.
Udo and the i amsterdam team, which oversees the city's tourism, have spent the last two years trying to subtly move tourists away from the most popular attractions, such as the Red Light District and Museum Quarter. They used the data stored on the chip inside Amsterdam's City Card, which gives access to various attractions and free public transport, to analyse tourist behaviour and devise ways of changing it to ease congestion.
Tourism chief Geerte Udo said that they can exactly see how the tourists are behaving. Generally, the trend is that everyone comes to the city and goes to the Van Gogh Museum in the morning, and [takes] a canal boat in the afternoon So, the team tried to suggest people to take boat rides in the morning so as to avoid the crowd in the evening.
In another creative scheme, they display a live feed showing the queue at the most popular places, such as the Van Gogh Museum, to encourage visitors to plan their trip for later in the day or plump for another destination altogether.
Of the many other strategies, the tourism authorities have included rebranding lesser known places to entice them visit places other than the popular ones.
A new app called "Discover the City" sends users notifications warning when an attraction is busier than normal and suggesting alternatives.
Udo believes they are an open, tolerant city and cannot imagine saying ‘you're not welcome here'.
