New insights from the #EU #tourism dashboard highlight potential risks from unbalanced tourism, such as overcrowding, pollution, and strain on resources. Tourism can bring benefits but may also lead to rising costs, housing issues, and a decline in long-term attractiveness. Popular destinations like #Mallorca, #Paris, and #Rome saw millions of overnight stays in 2023, with significant increases in places like #Copenhagen, #Cork, #Porto, and #Athens. High tourism intensity and seasonality in destinations like Croatia and #Greece indicate a reliance on tourism, making them vulnerable to economic shocks. #Malta and #Austria, though intense, have lower seasonality, while #Bulgaria faces high seasonality with lower intensity. #Ireland has seen increases in both tourism intensity and seasonality since 2019. These trends can help policymakers recognise unbalanced tourism and design strategies to mitigate risks and ensure sustainable development across regions.

#Frontex will never tow a yacht back to the open sea, and traffickers specialized on #GoldenPassport schemes are not criminalized either. They're operating worldwide and openly, under names such as “Global Citizen Solutions”, with job titles such as “boutique investment consultant”. They promise to be "focused on finding the right residency or citizenship by investment program for individuals wishing to secure their future and become global citizens."

Such companies are not organized in a mafia either, but in the prestigious "Investment Migration Council" (#IMC), which claims to be an “organization in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations since 2019”.

So this news item from today sounds quite amusing:

»The EU Court of Justice agreed with the Commission, finding that such a scheme “amounts to the commercialisation of the granting of the status of national of a member state and, by extension, Union citizenship, which is incompatible with the conception of that fundamental status that stems from the EU Treaties”.«
