Travelers often aim for famous landmarks or trendy cities, but popularity brings its own problems. When locals feel overwhelmed or disrespected, they might view visitors less kindly. Knowing which vacations spark that reaction can make all the difference in creating positive experiences for everyone. When hotels and short-term rentals eat up housing, locals face inflated rents and fewer living options.
