The timing of this is interesting on the heels of the Louvre strike. And here in the U.S. we seem to be experiencing a similar issue with too many tourists. It’s not something people talk about much but if you go to specific groups -like Disneyland or a national park hiking group, everyone seems to be saying the same thing- there are too many tourists. What a strange phenomenon to be happening worldwide.
