"What do Barcelona, the Great Wall of China, Acadia National Park, Thailand's Maya Bay, and Reykjavik, Iceland have in common? They are among the growing number of popular tourist destinations around the world that have reached their saturation or 'tipping' points. Tourism's exponential growth in recent years has led to chronic overcrowding, which is degrading natural and historic sites, impacting the well-being of communities, and compromising the visitor experience. This book examines overtourism in five distinct types of tourism destinations: 1) historic cities; 2) national parks and protected areas; 3) World Heritage Sites; 4) beaches and coastal communities; and 5) national and regional destinations. In addition to critiquing the causes and impacts of overtourism, the book will also assess experiments underway to mitigate overtourism in mature destinations and prevent it in emerging ones"--

"Since 2017, the term 'overtourism' has become the buzzword for destinations suffering the strain of tourism. It is a critical issue for the 21st Century and beyond, and to date has only been examined from a tourism industry perspective. This book takes a different stand by investigating overtourism from a tourism education perspective. The recent global COVID-19 pandemic was expected to halt travel and, arguably, overtourism. However, industry experts and researchers share the opinion that instead of declining, overtourism is simply experiencing a shift, with a swarm of 'second home' and domestic travel that is likely to engulf many tourism destinations. Against this backdrop, the issue of overtourism remains relevant and studies on ways to cultivate responsible consumer mindsets to deal with overtourism and other sustainability issues in the tourism industry are called for. This book focuses on education as a transformative and strategic tool to tackle overtourism and related negative impacts. It presents original research on the topics of overtourism, education and sustainability, and puts forward a range of practical and transformative tourism education strategies to mitigate overtourism and to promote the sustainable development of destinations. This book will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in tourism, development studies, cultural studies and sustainability, as well as professionals in the field of tourism management"--
