    Good, tourism is way too cheap for the environmental impact, the less people travel the better for the environment.

      That is somewhat true but what this also causes is that poorer people have a harder time travelling and visiting other countries while rich people are unnaffected

        The common good and environment of a nation has priority over cheap tourism, so I don’t necessarily see that as a problem. Especially when the number of annual tourists exceeds the population by a factor of five in the case of Iceland, I can understand why some residents would like to reduce it.

        Considering the climate crisis we’re facing I don’t care, anything to reduce air travel. All countries should turn non-local private jets around too.
