Phuket has been named the 'World's Most Overcrowded Tourist Destination' for 2023.
Phuket, Thailand, was named the most crowded tourist destination in the world for 2023 according to a MoneyTransfers.com study! Famous locations are once again battling overtourism as the travel industry returns to pre-pandemic levels. Thailand’s Phuket comes in first, followed by Pattaya and Krabi. One of Thailand’s most well-liked vacation spots, it is particularly well-known among beach bums and as a venue for some of the biggest parties in the world.
Some locations have experienced such a deterioration in the situation that the government was compelled to take action to regulate the number of tourists.
Bali is another location that has restricted tourism in order to curb overtourism. Venice, Athens, and Amsterdam have all taken steps to protect their lands from hordes in Europe. While the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, has chosen to impose a daily visiting cap, Venice has implemented a number of new tourist charges. However, Austrian citizens have begun to oppose the excessive number of tourists.
When it comes to the UK, Bath is the most crowded city, while the stunning Edinburgh Castle has become the most busy tourist destination.
Returning to Phuket, though, it comes as no surprise. Over 90 kilometers of coastline may be found on this Thai island. Here, Kata and Karon are two of the most beautiful beaches in the world, drawing visitors from all over the world! Along with having a ton of vibrant markets and fantastic seafood restaurants, these beaches are also well-liked by scuba divers.
The report estimates that the island receives 118 tourists for every local inhabitant. Pattaya and Krabi, respectively, are in second and third place on the list.
