Iceland's New Tourist Tax: What You Need to Know

In its continuing efforts to sustain its pristine landscapes and unique heritage, Iceland has recently made the move to implement a tourist tax. This has come as a response to the increasing influx of visitors attempting to visit the country. The sheer number of visitors is putting pressure on the natural wonders, so the tax has been introduced so that the funds can be used to preserve them for…

This is how people react to tourism tax to combat overtourism

the ferry ride was terrible in many ways, but doing nothing for several hours but lie down in a dark cabin and listening to the most recent murderbot diaries was. admittedly. pretty nice

i like how vermont is currently experiencing a massive natural disaster and the first line out of some tourists mouths online is like "when can i visit? will this impact my trip?" like boo fucking hoo brenda we gotta take care of our own people right now maybe consider thinking about the well beings of locals for once.

I'm pretty sure Alex only has brothers canonically, but that means we can make one trans lmao

God if only the economy* would recover long enough for me to have a cichlid tank phase that would be great.

I just want a small taste of the irresponsibility that those who live in the same space longer than a year, can enjoy.

The internet is amazing because if before the commoners and the wealthy were separated to such an extent they barely glimpsed into each other's lives, now we get to hear those well off in society complaining about cruises, vacations, fancy earphones, incomprehensibly expensive computer parts and niche pieces of equipment being expensive, while I need to weight my pasta to make sure it does indeed last for 7 meals rather than six so it's one less expense ""in the long run"", or wear trainers with a busted sole for months because shoes "are an unnecessary expense if these still work, no matter how much the rubber is snapping off", or eat like shit for an entire week because how dare I send 40€ on a second hand game instead of thinking off how many tuna cans, rice packs and vegetables that is. Or making groceries last so I can pay my pets' food.

Macron is not begging on his knees if anything he's blackmailing him as we speak. That man is evil and a war criminal not a silly Kylian obsessed man with no power. Let's not.

I’m pretty sure he knows how to deal with him calm down and why expect me to call him those things under kylian’s pics?

This event screams begging to me. He’s so embarrassing.

I kinda wanna write a modern road trip AU with a bunch of the younger Finweans (Elrond, Celebrimbor, Gil-galad, etc...) but I have no ideas for a plot

Pros of trying to get a job in a small town: establishments will literally just print out “HELP WANTED. INQUIRE INSIDE (or leave number at bar)” and tape it to the front window and you just can.

Cons of getting a job in a small town:

If you don’t get the job, literally everyone will know and you can never go to that bar again

People are so pressed about the coronation, but the tv rights were sold for millions and millions of tourists have flooded London buying accommodation, food, and alcohol. Literally people have flown in from around the commonwealth to spend money on keepsakes like coronation plates. I know it cost money, but it will also make a lot of money (and it happens twice a century not like the money spent campaigning and celebrating each American president). For every protester there was 50 people wearing comedy fake ears and getting on the piss- chill out everyone!
