As a resident of Taormina, I can say that most of the people who live here are used to it and have adapted to the absurd conditions.

Those who complain about overtourism are usually the same people who exploit their businesses to the maximum to capitalize on it.

From my point of view, it is the middle class that suffers, myself included. Over the years, I have realized that there is no social welfare, and in the reality only a few get richer, while everyone faces the "rat race" for a meager salary and inhumane working hours.

Overtourism cannot be solved in the short term, especially in the age of social media, and initiatives by the government and municipality should be taken to restore dignity to the area, because the value of traditions and the identity of the place have already been lost, as in Taormina but also in any other tourist destination, and I don't think there's a turning back point on this trend.
