In the last two months, the concept of 'overtourism' has gained great importance in the world of travel, after the post-Covid recovery has brought a particularly busy summer in the sector.

This week, Venice announced the implementation of a tourist tax designed to reduce the number of visitors to the city. It will not be the first popular destination to introduce such a tax, and many other cities and countries are already trying to reduce tourist numbers.

One place that has just introduced a similar charge is Thailand. Phuket, an island in the country, has been considered the most populated destination in the world. According to a study by MoneyTransfers.com, Phuket has 118 tourists for every local resident.

Phuket is one of Thailand's top beach destinations and is home to several of the world's best beach destinations, including Kata and Karon. It is the largest island in Thailand and has around 145 kilometers of coastline.

Heraklion, one of the main destinations in Greece, also appears on the list of the most saturated destinations, with 22 tourists for every local resident. Unsurprisingly, Venice is also in the top 10: 21 tourists for every resident.
