-Overrun Japanese town putting up eight-foot barrier to block tourist photos of Mount Fuji [[https://omgomg2shop.com/|omg тор браузер]]
+Galapagos Islands to double tourist entry fees amid concerns over rising visitor numbers [[https://omg-omg-shop.com/|omg вход]]
-A picturesque Japanese town is putting up a giant mesh barrier to block a popular selfie spot near Mount Fuji.
+Tourists to the Galapagos Islands will be asked to pay twice as much in entry fees from this year amid concerns that a rise in visitor numbers is putting pressure on the ecologically sensitive destination.
-Fujikawaguchiko, at the foot of the Yoshida Trail to Mount Fuji, has become overrun with foreign tourists trying to get the perfect photo of Japan’s most famous mountain.
+Ecuador’s Ministry of Tourism has announced the new fees, which will take effect on August 1, 2024.
-Specifically, they’re standing in front of Lawson’s, an outpost of the large Japanese convenience store chain, to get a shot of the contrast between the busy neon-lit shop and the peaceful mountain behind it.
+The entry fee will go from $100 to $200 for nationals of almost all countries, except for other members of the South American trade bloc Mercosur, which includes Argentina, Brazil, and Peru.
-And now the town has had enough and is putting up the mesh barrier to block the view, a local official told CNN.
+Mercosur members will now have to pay $100 per person, up from $50. Children under age two can visit for free, regardless of nationality.
-he official, who did not want to give her name, said that there have been ongoing problems with tourists leaving trash and not following traffic rules. Despite signs and security guards being posted to warn them, the situation has persisted.
-“It is regrettable that we had to take such measures,” the official said.
+This is the first increase in Galapagos entry fees since 1998.
-The net, which measures eight feet (2.5 meters) high and 66 feet across (20 meters), will be erected early next week.
+“The Galapagos Islands are not only a national treasure but a global one. It is our collective responsibility to protect and preserve this unparalleled ecosystem for future generations,” Niels Olsen, Ecuador’s tourism minister, said in a statement shared with the Galapagos Conservation Trust.
+Olsen added that the additional money will go toward conservation efforts for the islands, which are 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) off the coast of mainland Ecuador.
