🛫 Japan is tripling its departure tax to ¥3,000 (~$19) starting July 2026.
42.68M visitors in 2025. Kyoto locals can't ride their own buses. Revenue (~$950M/yr) targets overtourism infrastructure.
But is taxing tourists the real fix?

We are loving some places to death.
Venice is sinking under our weight.
Locals protest tourism.
Trails erode from overuse.
We need to spread out and travel more consciously.

🏯 Kyoto raised its hotel tax up to 10x. Top rate: 10,000 yen (~$65) per person/night.
Budget under 6,000 yen? Still 200 yen.
Luxury ryokan? Prepare your wallet.
Kyoto is putting a price on protecting what makes it worth visiting.

🚌 Kyoto announces Japan's FIRST dual pricing for city buses:
Residents: ¥200
Tourists: up to ¥400
Overtourism pushed Kyoto to charge visitors double. Controversial — but locals say buses were unbearable.

Power has been out since 7:41am in this part of north Lake Tahoe. I’d like to echo the Calaveras Sheriff Office message to tourists: “read the room” —avoid mountain towns until road conditions and the local infrastructure like power can be restored. In other words don’t be the a*shole #overtourism

The Venetian carnival is 80% photographers, 20% people in totally ahistorical costumes, all of the tourists.
The locals who can, flee the city for carnival.

A red-rock landscape as spectacular as Sedona's, with a fraction of the visitors. The catch: To see the most spectacular part of it, you have to win a lottery. :/ #travelsky #overtourism #vermilioncliffs #visitarizona
