Book Description
This Research Agenda explores the rapid growth of overtourism research and its depiction in the media over the last decade, focusing on the role that technology and social media have played. Contributing authors put forward novel analytical frameworks and approaches to combat the issue of overtourism, laying a path for future research on the topic.
Expert contributors investigate responses to overtourism in well-known tourist locations including Amsterdam, Dubai, the Galápagos Islands and Venice. They examine the frequently cited causes of overtourism, such as the reduction in travel costs, growing affluence, new international markets, social media and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapters also assess mitigating measures that have been put into place and why these have been generally ineffective to date. Looking forward, the book considers the long-term, including appropriate regulations and how these could be enforced at all levels in a fair and transparent manner.
A Research Agenda for Overtourism is an essential read for students and academics in tourism management and related fields such as development studies, human geography, sociology and economics. The contributions are also beneficial to destination management agencies and government departments who are involved in tourism development and management.
