Many of the famous sites in the world are now overrun with tourists.
Barcelona and Venice are just some of the cities struggling to cope with the influx and debating how to solve the crisis.
However, one destination in Peru has decided to try and survive its own popularity.
The famous Machu Picchu has announced a trial of timed entry tickets to reduce the number of travellers visiting at one time.
The Incan citadel is one of the most popular destinations in the world for travellers to explore.
However, the new trial will issue morning and day tickets, running from 6am to 12pm, ad 12pm to 5:30pm.
It is to come into play from July 1st this year, although tickets already purchased for the rest of the year won’t be affected.
If wanting to spend the whole day, then travellers will need to buy two tickets.
Costing £36 each, it will double the price for entry for travellers when this was originally a one-off fee to enter for the day.
Another addition to the new rules will also only allow entry with an official tour guide, with a maximum group size of 16 people.
The site receives, on average, 5,000 visitors a day in the summer months which is double the amount recommended by UNESCO.
So with over 1 million travellers heading there every year, it seems the only way for the ancient town to survive against the influx.
