Is it possible to have too many tourists? In this class, I will guide you through a timely discussion about overtourism, using Venice as our case study. We will explore how this beautiful city of canals has been overwhelmed by visitors, the problems this creates for locals and the environment, and what is being done to solve the crisis. You will share your own experiences with crowded tourist destinations and debate whether tourism is ultimately a blessing or a curse. My goal is to create a dynamic, interactive space where we can explore this urgent global issue and practice sophisticated conversation in English!
