There was an 80% increase in the number of visitors …
Justin Bieber's fans have been accused of inflicting extensive damage on an Icelandic canyon, after his video clip recorded a significant increase in visitors.
The Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon should close and be repaired in June, after being featured in Bieber's 2015 video titled "I'll Show You".
According to CNN Travel, the number of visitors to the canyon has increased by 80%, the damage being due to a significant increase in pedestrian traffic.
"This canyon was somewhat unknown," Daníel Freyr Jónsson, director of the country's environment agency, told Lonely Planet.
"The sharp increase in pedestrian traffic began after the arrival of Bieber. There has been an increase of 50 to 80% between 2016, 2017 and 2018. "
The video, which has more than 440 million views on YouTube, shows Bieber exploring the canyon and visiting the waterfalls. In one shot, you can also see him swimming in a nearby stream.
Inga Hlin Palsdottir, director of the Visit Iceland National Tourism Agency, said: "We need to build better on-site infrastructure to invite visitors all year round. We need paths that can be discovered all year round. It's not just because of nature, it's a security problem. "
Although Bieber remains as popular as ever, his fans will not expect to hear the singer in the near future. He announced yesterday that he would pause in music to "fix deeply rooted problems".
"Music is very important to me, but nothing comes before my family and my health," he said. "I will come with an bad kick album as soon as possible, my booty is undeniable and my player is indescribable."
Bieber released his latest album in 2015 in "Purpose". In January, his manager, Scooter Braun, announced that the sequel, and the fifth album of the pop star, would arrive in 2019.
