Over the last decade, while many scholars have maintained their
interest in the classical debate concerning the impacts of tourism,
some have attempted new conceptualisations, while others have
converged towards critical narratives promoted by a number of
social movements, and have become involved in subsequent
discussions on ‘overtourism’ and ‘tourismphobia’. The terms
'overtourism' and 'tourismphobia' have their genesis in the rapid
unfolding of unsustainable mass tourism practices and the responses
that these have generated amongst academics, practitioners, social
movements and grassroots organizations concerned with the
detrimental use of urban, rural and coastal spaces, among others,
for tourism purposes. The renewed interest in the study of the
adverse impacts of tourism, as implied in the term 'overtourism',
is related to a variety of well-established causes. Travel and
Tourism in the Age of Overtourism builds on existing knowledge and
makes a theoretical and practical contribution the overtourism
debate and the system dynamics underlining it. This collection
suggests ways to address this from a tourism and planning
perspective. It offers critical reflections on the contemporary
evolution of tourism development and the implication of such
processes on people, places and spaces. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a Special Issue of the journal Tourism
Planning & Development.
