\"Overtourism:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From cruise-ship taxes to number plate systems, here\u2019s how Europe\u2019s travel hotspots are coping with overtourism.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

M<\/span>arseille is introducing tough new restrictions to help save its beautiful coast from overtourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French destination is the latest European travel hotspot struggling to cope with a high number of visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The region is known for its stunning \u2018calanques,\u2019 cliff-lined coastal inlets sheltering tiny, azure coves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this rugged landscape is under threat, as the traffic of thousands of tourists erodes coastal soil and threatens native vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To limit the damage, the national park is introducing a permit system. It\u2019s just one in a series of innovative solutions being introduced by over-subscribed European destinations as travel picks up this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From cruise-ship taxes to number plate systems, here\u2019s how Europe\u2019s travel hotspots are coping with overtourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marseille introduces a permit system<\/strong>
From the end of June to the end of August, visitors will have to apply online for a permit to access the popular Sugiton calanque and its beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amalfi coast number plate rules<\/strong>
Italy\u2019s Amalfi coast is known for its turquoise coves and lofty cliffs – but also for its dangerously narrow roads and hours-long traffic queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain bans excessive alcohol and football shirts<\/strong>
Some hotspots don\u2019t necessarily have a problem with the number of visitors they receive – but with the way that these visitors behave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venice bans cruiseships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venice has long suffered from a surplus of tourists. In peak season, the city of just 50,000 residents can receive up to 150,000 tourists per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona proposes a tax on cruises
<\/strong>Visitors to Barcelona are already charged a tourist levy, coughing up \u20ac3 for a stay of more than 12 hours and \u20ac1 for a stay of less than 12 hours. These costs – along with an existing \u20ac1.75 surcharge – are usually included in the price of booking cruises or hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
