The author (tourist) writes about over-tourism: a challenge is how to turn those new walkable town centers into new tourist destinations to offload current hot spots?
- TulliusCicero 4y agoSome places sort of naturally become tourist destinations because of size/importance, but there are other ways. * Some specific gimmick that the town emphasizes, like Leavenworth, WA in the US has a Bavarian gimmick/theme that draws in a lot of tourists in the winter. * Resort towns that were invented for that purpose like Cancun in Mexico, or Sunny Beach in Bulgaria. Doesn't have to be beaches either, you could do the same thing for mountains/skiing I'm sure, maybe other forms of outside recreation. * Having something legal that 'usually' isn't. E.g. Nevada towns in the US with either brothels or, more famously, gambling. Of course it's the whole state where's gambling is legal, but yeah you'll get some towns right on the border where they exist for people in the next state over to easily gamble.
