Coolcations: tourism boom strains cooler destinations
Original: Coolcations: tourism boom is taking a toll on chillier destinations
United Nations University reports that 'coolcations' — holidays to chillier destinations chosen to escape extreme heat — are surging, and the influx is putting pressure on these cooler regions. As climate change makes traditional hot summer spots less appealing, northern and high-altitude places face overcrowding, strain on infrastructure and environmental stress from the rapid growth in visitor numbers.
Why now: Rising summer heat is pushing travellers toward cooler destinations, raising concerns about overtourism there.
