As the island of Capri faces an overwhelming surge of tourists, local residents are increasingly frustrated by the impact this has on their daily lives and the environment. The beauty of Capri, often overshadowed by its tourist-filled streets, has led to a concerted effort among locals to reclaim their space and demand better management of tourist activities.

Local initiatives have been proposed to address these issues, including limiting the number of visitors allowed on the island at any given time, promoting responsible tourism practices, and enhancing infrastructure to cater more effectively to residents and visitors alike. These measures aim not only to preserve the unique charm of Capri but also to maintain a sustainable economy that does not solely rely on tourist influx.

The situation illustrates a broader trend in popular tourist destinations where residents are pushing back against unsustainable tourism. The challenge remains in finding a balance between welcoming tourists and ensuring that the local community can thrive without losing its identity and quality of life.
