Great Yarmouth is experiencing signs of regeneration, contrasting its vibrant Edwardian tourism era. The recent rise in visitors has turned into overtourism, overwhelming many European hotspots. Local historian Roger Silver recalls the influx of tourists in the early 1900s, while current destinations struggle with excessive tourist pressure, as highlighted by Rory Boland's report on overtourism. Many residents are expressing their frustrations, indicating that the benefits of tourist influx may no longer outweigh the burdens it brings to local services and communities.
The overwhelming influx of tourists is now seen negatively, with locals feeling a tipping point has been reached due to pressures on housing and services.
Locations like Zante and Mallorca highlight the extent of overtourism, where overnight stays vastly outnumber local populations, severely impacting local life.
