Spanish And Portuguese Locals Are Tired Of Overtourism And This Protest Just Shows Their Frustration


The Louvre, which has a capacity of 30,000 visitors at a time, had 8.7 million visitors last year, testing the infrastructure’s capacity. The staff revealed that working in the museum was a ‘physical ordeal’ as there were limited bathroom breaks, sparce rest areas, and increased heat in the museum due to the museum’s greenhouse effect.

The protest has reignited the discussion of overtourism and how it is not a ‘new’ problem, but one that has been simmering under the surface for a while.
