I’ve certainly been guilty of saying some places are too touristy, too crowded (Venice, man). But this piece on Iceland and overtourism made me think twice about that. I’ve never had a real desire to go to Iceland, mostly because I hate cold weather and would always rather go somewhere warm, but if I’m honest it’s also partly because it’s become sort of cliché, since everyone goes to Iceland these days. But the Iceland tourism boom is starting to slow down; what will that mean for Icelanders and the country’s economy?
