A2 we're quite good at managing to avoid the crowds but our recent visit to florence just felt a bit too much hassle ; pre-booking for museums was OK but poor security, organisation, people moving as a phalanx etc #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I think it’s cyclical, people travel to places till they’re overdone or a negative image rises, then people stop going until it becomes the secret place, the in place, the popular place again. #pttravel

A5 Tourist destinations can improve their attractiveness a lot through word of mouth. Reputation counts for a lot. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. I do believe that travel agencies have a responsibility, not just to present their product accurately but to ensure that visitors and locals alike benefit from responsible tourism. #PTTravel

A5 I hope tourism boards & travel companies are paying attention to #overtourism conversations on social media.
The marketing strategy needs to change in countries that are struggling. Their partnership with cruise lines needs to be addressed. The expectations & ...

boundaries need to be laid out.
Cities can work together. Collaboration is powerful #PTTravel

replying to @bemusedbackpack @bemusedbackpack @kate_frankie The exact opposite at Petra in Jordan. It is super motivated by a protection ethic. There is just one tourist facility in the entire complex and it is made of wood. #pttravel

replying to @tweetinghelena @tweetinghelena @kate_frankie I did stand for 3 hours to watch this lot come past a couple of months ago so maybe I am being a little hypocritical #pttravel

A6 Ask questions of your accommodation / travel company etc about how they source,dispose of rubbish etc. When you are asked for feedback from tourist offices give it #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. Can and will are two different things. Reality is it is all about profit. The more people travel to a place, more revenue comes in, esp with companies. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3 I think local tourism is great! People think you have to travel far to experience something new but that's not true! Travelling close to home is cheaper, better for the environment and your local economy #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6 travel off peak, visit early, plan ahead and be respectful no matter what. #pttravel
BudgetBreakBlog
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 yes, I think governments should introduce quotas for tourism areas (eg. Limited # of national park permits) because if businesses and people can do it, they will. You cant expect every person to understand or care about issues of overtourism #pttravel

@Travelnpack Good point, if a little depressing!

A6 #PTTravel The obvious answer would be stay at home 😆 But, practically, read articles, read blogs, talk to people who've been there. listen to positive and negative views, and make your own mind up.

A4 #pttravel Visit the busy places first thing in the morning before the crowds ...especially galleries and museums.

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales @tweetinghelena Queues just need to set expectations I think. Tell me roughly how long at various points. I'll decide whether I stick it out or go somewhere else then come back #PTTravel
Txiki_Tales
A6 As I've said early, spend your money in local neighbourhoods. Quality usually better, prices lower and a chance to mingle with locals. And try to converse in the local tongue - at least make an effort (eating Italian in Spain!!) #pttravel

Early early morning - before 8 if possible.
Also odd seasons, eg; winter in Rome the crowds go down by 5x.
