Residents of popular Swiss destinations such as Iseltwald and Lauterbrunnen are increasingly burdened by mass tourism, experiencing issues like traffic jams and overcrowding throughout the year. These local communities face not just direct consequences, like endless queues, but also indirect effects, including noise and waste. Mass tourism is driving up rents and leading to the loss of local infrastructure in favor of tourist venues. Some areas have implemented access restrictions and fees to manage visitor numbers, but for small villages, the benefit to local economies remains questionable.
Residents in Swiss tourist destinations like Iseltwald and Lauterbrunnen are facing negative impacts of mass tourism, including overcrowding, traffic jams, and higher rents.
