Protests against tourism have increased in frequency and size as tourist arrivals to popular destinations meet, and in some places surpass, pre-pandemic levels.

Makes me wonder if people who would have otherwise travelled to the US but decided not to are upping the numbers elsewhere.
This certainly goes further back than you may think.
