Overtourism has become a major concern for an increasing number of
destinations as tourism numbers continue to grow, stimulated by
general economic and technological growth and the expansion of the
global middle class. This, coupled with relentless promotion of
tourism by many organisations and destinations, has increased
tourism, despite growing opposition to excessive development. This
book is the first academic volume to deal with this topic and
contains chapters by experienced researchers in the tourism field,
taking a multidisciplinary approach to review and explain the
subject. The introductory section begins with an overview of the
current situation and the forces enabling the appearance of
overtourism. This is followed by a number of case studies from a
range of destinations around the world, both urban and rural, which
share the same problems. The concluding section includes a
discussion of potential mitigation methods and approaches and a
final assessment of future developments. The focus and relevance of
this book are not just for academics, as it offers insights into
destinations, enablers and solutions for how to address the issue
of overtourism on a wide variety of scales. This book offers
globally relevant perspectives on destinations as varied as Venice
and Barcelona, that have gained global media attention, as well as
less publicised rural areas and developing destinations.
