As Europe sells out and hordes of tourists descend on Italy for what looks set to be a busy summer season, one region has capped visitor numbers in a bid to prevent overtourism
. The autonomous region of Alto Adige, also known as Bolzano - South Tyrol, in the north of the country, has introduced a limit on overnight visitors, capping numbers to 2019 levels and imposing a ban on any new accommodation openings – unless another has closed.
Curbs on ‘hit-and-run’ day-trippers Day trippers – seen as the scourge of fellow overtourism sufferer Venice – will not go unscathed, either. Since 2021, peak season car access to Lago di Braies – an picture perfect glacial lake in the mountains, and a staple on Instagram – has been by reservation only. Schuler says the region made the move – which he calls a “pilot project” – because the situation was becoming untenable.
