Countries and cities welcome tourism, right? Some places, as is the case with some villages in the Netherlands overrun by buses full of tourists, are battling "overtourism," including some folks even handing out cards to tourists telling them they're part of the problem: blocking roads, interrupting residents' lives, trampling everywhere. I can understand the concern -- I live in an area popular with tourists, and it can become aggravating when hordes of tourists clog the trails and bike lanes and overlooks -- but you also have to understand that those tourists bring money that benefits everyone, too. It's a necessary not-quite-evil. (BBC)
