Ist Overtourism in der wilden Natur Norwegens wirklich ein so großes Problem, wie dieser Artikel es darstellt, und ist dies der Grund für Norwegens Kampagne zur Abschaffung des Tourismus? Ich war schon ein paar Mal dort und obwohl es ein beliebtes Touristenziel ist, wenn man es sich leisten kann, fand ich es nicht so überfüllt.

At least in Lofoten, it’s insane how many tourists come. The roads are clogged up with tourists in rental cars.
Maybe not overcrowded for other destinations like longer south. But for a country with quite under 6 Mio population it is quite a lot. And imho also too much.
In certain hotspots its absolutely a concern. If tourists spread out more evenly it would not have been a problem. But more beautiful / popular areas will obviously always have a higher amount of tourists. So lets welcome tourists, but lets not overdo it.
Tourists disproportionally displace inhabitants in small villages when it comes to several services like parking and access to public transport, in the places there are limits to this. It might not be overcrowded by Magaluf or ibiza standards, but the popular spots in Norway are exactly where there aren’t a lot of people to begin with. Every summer, our roads and ferries, and popular spots are completely clogged up with caravan tourists. This is no secret. Just look at the cruise ships completely blotting out the sun in Stavanger, or the tourists walking in single file unbroken lines up to the pulpit rock, kjeragbolten, Fløyen, or any number of other attractions.
But people are treating this like Norway is going to erect rwandan style border controls. We’re not. We’re just diverting funds from ad campaigns telling people to come here explicitly.
Whining about overtourism is just a socially acceptable way for leftists/progressives to be xenophobic.
