Addressing the above restrictions, George Alexandrou, CEO of VIP Santorini said, “As overtourism becomes an increasing concern, travellers must be more conscious of their impact this summer.
“With destinations like Greece and Spain tightening access to popular sites, it’s clear that the need for sustainable tourism practices is growing.
“Rather than simply flocking to hotspots, holidaymakers should prioritise responsible choices, such as booking with destinations and companies that support environmental and cultural preservation.
“Thoughtful planning will not only help protect these areas for future generations but also enhance the travel experience by embracing less-crowded, authentic locations.”
