    This reminds me of the closure of Borocay in the Philippines. The island was always packed with tourists and because of that more resorts,hotels etc started to open. Of course thanks to social media even more people visited Borocay. In the end it became more of both a health hazard and a environmental hazard. The president ordered the island closed to tourists for 6 months.

    These tourist locations should just ban photographing at the most popular locations. Problem solved.

    The countries that are overcrowded with tourism are guilty of creating the monster. Before massive docks were built in Venice. The teeming hordes of day trippers wasn’t there. Barcelona made it easy to overload their streets. Iceland put out a huge campaign to go there. With cheap govt incentive flights. The same for Thailand.

    I’m not sure Amy Law actually viewed this video, else she wouldn’t make such a preening and preposterous statement. She thinks Anazing Race has anything at all to do with reality. Worse, she completely missed the part about environmental effects of too many tourists.

    Don't be stupid, God created this earth and gave man dominion over it. You can not restrict people from the earth.

      Are you a moron, if it's LITTERALLY DESTROYING these places yes restrictions are necessary if you're such a christian read what God said in revelations
      "Your people who revere your name,
      both great and small(D)-
      and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
      Those who destroy the earth and those who porpogate destruction of the earth like.you, will be an enemy of God
