With visitor numbers around the world increasing towards pre-pandemic levels, the issue of overtourism is once again rearing its head.

Overcrowding is an issue for both locals and tourists. It can ruin the experience of sightseeing for those trapped in long queues, unable to visit museums, galleries and sites without advance booking, incurring escalating costs for basics like food, drink and hotels, and faced with the inability to experience the wonder of a place in relative solitude.

Is there a solution?

Yes, we encourage off-season travel, and encourage more sustainable travel in finding solutions to reduce friction between residents and tourists.

Contact us for our recommendations on when is best to visit and our Satori list of less-visited must-see destinations.

New destination profile: Cambodia.

'There's a magic about this charming yet confounding kingdom that casts a spell on visitors. An adventure to Cambodia will inspire travelers to contemplate what happens when ancient and modern worlds collide.'

'The temples of Angkor Wat hog the headlines – and for good reason – but there is so much more to see in Cambodia. Fringed by beautiful beaches and tropical islands, cloaked in some of the region's few remaining emerald wildernesses and national parks and home to ever-welcoming Khmers. This country packs everything Southeast Asia has to offer into one bite-sized chunk.' Lonely Planet
