The limitation on the number of tourists was introduced in 2020, but it has been exceeded in the last three years, with estimates of nearly 24 million overnight stays for 2025. The local council has taken measures, including reducing accommodation options and increasing the tourist tax, but residents believe these are insufficient. They are calling for a ban on tourist access to cafes and stricter taxation to manage the impact of tourism.
