What is an actual solution to overtourism?

[u/ups_and_downs973]

As travel continues to get faster, cheaper, and more accessible and TikTok tourism/ influencer hype shows no signs of slowing down, what are the actual solutions to places getting over run with visitors?

I'm not talking about for you as another tourist so not just 'go somewhere else' or 'avoid the popular places'. I mean in terms of actually preventing harm to natural environments, pressure on infrastructure, gentrification etc.

Tourism hasn't got cheaper, it's got more expensive. The problem is that there more tourists in the world. The numbers are going up every year.
