Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona, Paris — the poster children for overtourism are well-known. Now, 20 more cities are on alert lest they turn into the future face of the problem, according to a new report from the World Travel & Tourism Council and commercial real estate firm JLL.

The report, called “Destination 2030,” examines the tourism “readiness” of 50 destinations around the world and groups cities into five types. The “emerging performers” category includes destinations where infrastructure and tourism momentum are growing along with the pressures associated with more tourists. Those cities were Bangkok, Cape Town, Ho Chi Minh City, Istanbul, Jakarta, Mexico City and New Delhi. Another 13 cities — called “mature performers” — were described as having an established tourism infrastructure, strong leisure or business travel, and good positioning to manage current growth levels.

“But there is a risk of future strains related to visit volume, infrastructure or activity that is testing readiness for additional growth,” the report says.

It lists Auckland, Berlin, Dublin, Las Vegas, Lisbon, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Miami, New York, Seoul, Seville and Sydney in this category.

Some of the names most synonymous with crowds fell into the “managing momentum” type: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris, Prague, Rome, San Francisco, Stockholm, Toronto and Vancouver.

Those are described as having established tourism infrastructure and urban readiness but heavy leisure travel volume “with potential to cause strain on the city.”

Cities listed in two other categories were experiencing somewhat less pressure. “Dawning developers,” with an emerging tourism infrastructure, were experiencing gradual tourism growth and lower visitor concentration. Those cities — Bogota, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Chengdu, Kuala Lumpur, Lima, Manila, Moscow, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and Riyadh — still have potential to grow, according to the report.

The “dawning” and “emerging” cities generally have a less advanced approach to tourism policy, without official positions on regulating home-sharing or specific mentions of tourism in economic plans.

The “balanced dynamics” category includes cities with an established infrastructure for visitors, a larger-than-average share of business travelers and room to grow comfortably. They are Beijing, Chicago, Dubai, Hong Kong, Munich, Osaka, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo and Washington.

阿姆斯特丹、威尼斯、巴塞罗那、巴黎 —— 这些城市都是众所周知的过度旅游城市典型。如今，世界旅游及旅行理事会和商业地产公司仲量联行的一份新报告称，还有20多个城市需要提高警惕，否则将在今后面临同样的问题。

这份名为《2030年旅游目的地》的报告考察了全球50个旅游目的地的“接待能力”，并将这些城市分为五种类型。“新兴成员”类型指的是基础设施和旅游势头在发展，同时伴随游客压力的城市，包括曼谷、开普敦、胡志明市、伊斯坦布尔、雅加达、墨西哥城和新德里。另外13个被称为“成熟成员”的城市拥有完善的旅游基础设施、表现强劲的休闲或商务旅游业，以及控制当前增长水平的良好定位。报告称：“但这些城市未来可能会出现游客量、基础设施或活动等方面的压力，挑战当地旅游业在业务增长情况下的接待能力。”

报告将奥克兰、柏林、都柏林、拉斯维加斯、里斯本、伦敦、洛杉矶、马德里、迈阿密、纽约、首尔、塞维利亚和悉尼归入“成熟成员”类别。那些一提到名字就让人马上想到熙熙攘攘人群的城市被归为“控制增长”类型，包括阿姆斯特丹、巴塞罗那、巴黎、布拉格、罗马、旧金山、斯德哥尔摩、多伦多和温哥华。报告称，这些城市已经拥有成熟的旅游基础设施和游客接待能力，但大量的休闲游客“可能给城市带来压力”。

其他两类城市面临的压力没有那么大。旅游基础设施正在建设中的“朝阳开发者”类型城市旅游业逐渐增长，游客集中度较低。报告称，这些城市包括波哥大、布宜诺斯艾利

斯、开罗、成都、吉隆坡、利马、马尼拉、莫斯科、孟买、里约热内卢和利雅德，仍有增长潜力。“朝阳开发者”和“新兴成员”类型的城市旅游政策通常不那么先进，没有在管理共享民宿问题上的官方立场，也没有在经济计划中具体提到旅游业。“均衡发展”类别的城市拥有成熟的旅游基础设施、商务旅行者比例高于平均水平、也有充裕的增长空间。这些城市包括北京、芝加哥、迪拜、香港、慕尼黑、大阪、上海、新加坡、东京和华盛顿。
