How to escape global overtourism?
The world isn't full, there's loads of space! The problem is that we pleasure seeking humans tend to be drawn to the more famous destinations. Paris, Barcelona, Rome. Many of us have a bucket list of top places we yearn to see in our lifetime, but it is hardly an authentic experience to be rammed into a street packed full of tourists, where the locals have long fled. So, what's the solution? It would be tragic for first time travellers to be denied the great sights of Florence, but maybe to spend your entire trip jostling for space at the most famous selfie spots isn't the only option. Overland travel is the E.T.G. answer to true adventure. Travel to the major tourist hot spot of your dreams, enjoy for a few days, and then get out! Hire a car, or hop aboard a train or bus and seek out the lesser known hidden gems that will reward you with a true blood experience of the people and cultures that give life to the blue and green planet we call home. Highlighting off beat destinations is at the heart of what we do here at E.T.G. Know of any great places to escape the crowds? We'd love to hear about them!
