Islands Ban Tourists to Curb Visitor Limits

World-famous islands impose tourist bans and caps to combat overcrowding. Overtourism degrades environments and disrupts locals on spots like Venice, Santorini, and the Galapagos. Governments introduce daily visitor quotas, entry fees, and off-season promotions. These measures aim to sustain ecosystems and cultural integrity. Travelers must book ahead or seek hidden gems. The changes signal a global push for sustainable escapes.
