As the government’s plan to impose limits on cruise ship and passenger numbers suggests, there is a growing recognition of the negative impacts of uncontrolled tourism. The overcrowding and congestion caused by excessive tourism can outweigh any benefits, prompting the state to intervene to protect the country’s natural and cultural assets from exploitation.

It is crucial for authorities to monitor developments closely and take necessary actions to prevent irreversible damage to the very essence of a destination. Without proper regulation, the charm and uniqueness of a place can be overshadowed by commercial interests, leading to the erosion of its identity.
