Episode 1. Overtourism: the mayor of Santorini asks residents to stay indoors

In this first episode of Checking In, I reflect on recent examples of overtourism around the world. In particular, the news over the last few days that the mayor of Santorini has asked residents to "stay indoors" whilst the town is overwhelmed by visitors coming off multiple cruise ships to get their iconic Instagram sunset shots. But it's not just Santorini suffering from this phenomenon. I consider what this means for tourism destinations elsewhere in the world.
