The major tourist attraction in Sirmione, an Italian lakeside town known as” simione,” was a 13th-century castle, which was overrun by vacationers during the May Day weekend, leading to panic, chaos, and hours of waiting. On social media, horrifying images of people stuck in little streets were shared, with the blame being overtourism. Local authorities believe that about 75, 000 persons visited the historic city over the May Day weekend, according to reports. The area has an estimated population of about 8, 000. According to The Sun, tourists had to wait for up to 40 days to enter Sirmione’s ancient city centre. ” Went to Sirmione,” Posted the photo? Cool, what do you do then? When *presence is confused with existence* Quick, quiet, and bare, overtourism occurs. Like in a fast-paced society, disposable and dangerous. With a movie of cards strewn in the middle of a group to enter the city centre, one man said,” Go less, think more. Overrun by visitors: panic, chaos, and hours of waiting. A issue that needs to be resolved and quickly controlled. Another wrote that it harms our identity and makes the experience bad. After Venice introduced an entry fee to try to control arrivals on the most common dates of the holiday calendar, Sirmione was governed by the Venetian Republic from 1405 to 1797, according to The Times of London. In addition, the Venetian Republic may need to use a tactic from its erstwhile rulers. The association’s leader, Marco Merlo, stated:” We’re very concerned about the health of the people and the quality of life for visitors, people, and employees. We hope the council will work with us to develop effective and widely accepted methods. James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Alfred Tennyson, and Roman artist Catullus also traveled to Sirmione. Theresa May, the original UK prime minister, and her husband, Philio, have spent the past 25 years there. Sigmund Freud described it as paradise.
