Combating overtourism

Hyperlocal proudly supports UN Tourism’s mission to combat overtourism.

Excessive commercialization of travel negatively disrupts the local's quality & way of life, nature, urban ecosystem, and overall visitor experience across cities globally.

Reduce overcapacity

Cities like Dubrovnik and Amsterdam see short-term visitors outnumbering local residents by up to 40 to 1. Hyperlocal addresses this by highlighting lesser-known destinations that offer just as much cultural richness and adventure.

Balance tourism flow

Over 60% of residents in cities like Paris, Lisbon, and Barcelona feel overwhelmed by tourism. Hyperlocal eases this by spreading visitor flow and showcasing hidden gems, from local restaurants to scenic viewpoints.

Drive more immersive trips

Today's  travelers prioritize visiting as many places as cheaply as possible—imagine fast fashion, but in travel. Hyperlocal encourages slower, more meaningful travel—like immersive stays in Bali or sabbatical programs in Rio.
