Local authorities noted that such a flow of tourists could harm this place, and consider options to limit visits to the island.

The publication writes that this is not the first case when the popularity of the series harms the places where the film had been made. In 2016, a record influx of tourists was observed in the Croatian Dubrovnik, which became a prototype for king’s landing in “Game of thrones”. The mayor then stated that he intends to limit the number of visitors to the city in order to avoid unexpected situations.
