Hanoi's train street and a series of destinations that refuse many tourists

Many international tourists often come to Hanoi's train street to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and capture special moments when the trains pass by. Over the past 5 years, the "witness battle" between the government and tourists has been going on non-stop. Concerned about the risk of serious accidents, authorities have actively promoted the closure of roadside cafes since 2019. Photo: @vietnamlocaladventures, @nature.rgb.

However, with the support of local residents, some tourists are still determined to venture into the area. The government has stepped up fines on cafes and asked tour companies to stop organizing tours. But the situation has not changed and some tourists continue to share photos of themselves on the train tracks on social media. Photo: @larrissa_wfc.

Amsterdam (Netherlands) decided to increase the tourist tax to 12.5% ​​on accommodation costs, a measure that has made this city the highest tourist tax location in Europe. After imposing a ban on cruise ships in the city center, Amsterdam is vigorously promoting the "Renew Your Vision" campaign through the perspective of the local community, aiming to attract tourists interested in the city's unique cultural and historical values.

In 2021, Venice (Italy) will ban ships weighing more than 25,000 tons from entering the city, in an effort to reduce damage to the lagoon, palace foundations and other centuries-old structures. In addition, the country's famous tourist attractions are also adopting new measures to control the number of visitors. The Venetian government has also proposed other measures such as limiting the number of visitors in each group to a maximum of 25 people and banning the use of loudspeakers, in an effort to keep the city more peaceful.

Scotland, where hundreds of thousands of passengers travel by cruise ship each year, is considering raising taxes on high-emission vessels. A 2021 study found that the carbon emissions of a single ship can be greater than those of 12,000 cars. Scotland believes the new law will spur shipbuilders to develop zero-emission vehicles.

Mount Everest is regularly contaminated with garbage and human excrement. To address this problem, the Nepalese government has mandated that climbers use biodegradable “poop bags” to collect their excrement and bring it back down the mountain. The ban on dumping waste along the way makes a lot of sense, especially since climbers often rely on melted snow for drinking water. Starting this year, climbers on Everest will be required to carry tracking chips, which will help rescue teams guide and assist them in case of emergency. Photo: @everestexped.

When you land in Denmark, you may soon have to pay a passenger tax. This is part of Scandinavia’s green air travel transition, which is expected to start in 2025.

The money will be used to develop sustainable fuel for domestic flights by 2030. Photo: @govisitdenmark.

The ancient city of Kyoto, Japan, is taking steps to address the problem of overtourism.

Previously, the city of Seville (Spain) offered free entry to the Plaza de España. However, the government is now imposing an entrance fee at this destination. The mayor of Seville said that the unique structure of the semicircular square made famous in the 1999 movie Star Wars is at risk of being permanently damaged unless there is a financial contribution to preserve the structure.

Once a Byzantine church and then a museum, Istanbul's Hagia Sophia Mosque welcomes around 3.5 million visitors a year. Entry to the site used to be free, but recently a 25 euro entrance fee has been introduced. The money goes towards the maintenance, preservation and management of one of the country's most important historical sites. Photo: @busrapp.
