How Technology Can Help Us Tackle Overtourism

"Roy's Peak in Wanaka, New Zealand, has become an iconic Instagram spot, leading to overcrowding with lines up to two hours long for photos. The area, which was previously less visited, now sees close to 100,000 hikers a year. The influx of visitors camping without proper facilities has created environmental and logistical issues."
