Overtourism protests spread beyond Europe to Mexico City, where residents marched against rising living costs in neighborhoods favored by digital nomads and international visitors. Demonstrations targeted the influx of short-term visitors and remote workers perceived to drive up rents, property values and everyday expenses. Local residents mobilized publicly to demand policies protecting affordable housing, community character and access to services. Similar anti-tourist actions are appearing in other major cities experiencing overtourism pressures. Municipalities and tourism stakeholders face growing pressure to reconcile visitor-driven economic benefits with resident welfare and sustainable urban planning.
