9 Countries Cracking Down on Overtourism in 2026

Nine countries implement strict measures against overtourism in 2026, from entry fees and visitor caps to cruise bans and higher taxes, as crowds strain local communities and ecosystems. Italy charges €5-€10 for Venice access, bans cruises from its historic center, caps Pompeii visitors, and times Trevi Fountain entry. Japan limits Mount Fuji to 4,000 daily visitors with a ¥2,000 fee and partially closes Kyoto's Geisha district.
