Do visitor caps truly fix overtourism or just shift it?
I've watched my favorite trail in the Alps get eroded by thousands of daily hikers, and the local park now limits entries to 500 people a day. It felt restrictive at first, but the path has actually recovered. Still, I worry that capping numbers just shifts the crowd to the next unguarded spot, so I'm not sure it's a real solution despite the visible improvements in that one valley. Can we honestly say visitor limits fix overtourism, or do they only move the problem around?
