A funicular tram in action in the Portuguese city of Lisbon in 2017. The view is down a steep road. The tram is heavily graffitied.

Graffiti seen in the Portuguese city of Lisbon in 2017. The graffiti reads "Mass tourism = Human pollution". This photograph was taken on the same day as the preceding tram photograph.

In a bit of a coincidence, it's 8 years to the day since I was using #Lisbon's funicular trams. The same day I also snapped the second image of some graffiti we spotted in the city. Some of the commentary today has put the blame (at least in part) on the burden #MassTourism puts on #MassTransit.

Cartoon showing a massive travel trolley rolling down an Amsterdam street, being pushed by a massive horde of tourists. On the side of the tourists, the street is full of hotels, souvenir shops and burger restaurants. On the other side, local shops are going out of business (to be taken over by new burger restaurants) and people are moving out.

Summer in Amsterdam. Cartoon from last year (for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl), but guess what, it’s still relevant. If anything, I drew too few tourists in the cartoon…

Sure it's not just "mass tourism"? Use squirt guns. That will fix the deep structural economic and class issues in your society. #Socialism or #barbarism? In this case, Sesame Street hooliganism. Trust no one under 50. #masstourism #Spain #farright #racism #GenZ

Cartoon showing the earth as Atlas. Instead of Atlas carrying the earth on its shoulders, the earth is carrying a giant cruise ship with the name 'Folly of the Seas' on its back. On the cruise ship, people are swimming in pools and going down the many water slides, while an enormous smoke stack is spewing forth big black clouds of smoke.

Massive cruise ships, massive environmental impact. Cartoon from last year.

Mass tourism is overwhelming Europe's islands, straining resources and driving residents out due to rising costs. Some islands implement visitor caps and regulations, while others embrace sustainable tourism to balance growth with local preservation.
