24. Challenges with Overtourism, Digital Nomads, and Gentrication in Mexico City

Season 2 · Episode 24

Saturday, July 12, 2025 • Duration 11:46

In this episode, I briefly go over the challenges faces cities such as Barcelona and Mexico City. Both have had protests against tourism and while the situation is nuanced and complex is comes down to, especially in the case of Mexico City, a few things:

•Little governance or restriction for vacation rentals like AirBnB

•Pandemic era digital nomads or remote works choosing to live in Mexico which has less restrictions

•Higher rent in CDMX (Mexico City) due to American and European residents working remotely

•Increased numbers of visitors who often stay in the same neighborhoods

•Living without a visa, not learning Spanish, and/or connecting with the community
