A study by TCI Research highlights the phenomenon of tourism phobia in several European cities

The tourism industry is in full swing as it seeks to regain pre-pandemic activity figures. However, in some major European cities there is a reluctance to over-tourism. The numbers race does not stop. Destinations and tourism experiences are moving in all directions to climb back up the slope left by the pandemic and return to (or exceed) pre-2019 figures.
However, a study by TCI Research raises some alarm bells. According to researcher Olivier Henry-Biabaud, "the signs in the travel sector are green, but they can also be red". While the desire to travel continues unabated, in a kind of grand revenge for the tourism sector after three years of difficulties, it is the residents of some of Europe's major cities - which are also major centres of tourism attraction - who are sounding the alarm bells.
