Holidays are for new experiences, but too many tourists can be a problem. We want to see famous places and try new foods, but big crowds are not fun.

After the pandemic, many people want to travel again. Popular destinations are now very crowded with tourists from all over the world.

Edinburgh Castle is very crowded. A 2023 study found the most crowded destinations. The UK has a crowded landmark.

Phuket in Thailand is the most crowded tourist spot. It has 118 tourists for every local person.

Thailand's beaches are very crowded.

Phuket has some of the world's best beaches. Kata and Karon are very popular.

Tourists crowd the beaches, especially during peak season. Pattaya and Krabi are also very crowded.

Thailand has the most crowded spots, followed by Greece and Turkey. Heraklion in Greece is also very crowded.

Venice in Italy is also crowded with 21 tourists for every local.

The new mayor of Venice wants to increase the tourist charge to help with crowds.

Venice was the first to charge an entry fee, starting at €5 on busy days.

The charge went up to €10 for last-minute visitors. More days were added to the scheme.

Local politicians hope the charge will help with crowds. About 30 million people visit Venice every year.

The mayor wants to raise the fee to €50. Rhodes in Greece and Miami in the US are also crowded.
