From dreamy getaways in Mykonos and Venice to the holiday surge known as “Detty December” in West Africa, we’re breaking down the rise of anti-tourist sentiment and how over tourism can gentrify neighborhoods, displace locals, and deepen inequality—even while raking in $1.6 trillion globally. So before you book that trip, ask yourself: is this a vacation, or is it exploitation?
