In April 2023, 16 million Italians flocked to domestic spots during Easter holidays, spurred by post-pandemic freedom, economic pressures curbing foreign trips, and rising low-cost flight prices. This surge highlighted “overtourism” in beaches, mountains, villages, and art cities. In these times of ecological crisis, a change of perspective is also necessary for tourism, starting with a new way of conceiving it. This cannot be that of “sustainable tourism,” a rhetoric behind which representatives of the political-financial powers linked to this sector have taken refuge, no longer able to hide the catastrophic drift of mass tourism.
