  • More about Travel and Tourism in the Age of Overtourism


The term "overtourism" and "tourismphobia" have emerged as a result of the rapid growth of unsustainable mass tourism practices, leading to discussions on the detrimental impacts of tourism on urban, rural, and coastal spaces. Travel and Tourism in the Age of Overtourism contributes to the ongoing debate by offering critical reflections on the contemporary evolution of tourism development and its implications for people, places, and spaces.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Over the past decade, while many scholars have continued to engage with the classical debate surrounding the impacts of tourism, some have ventured into new conceptualizations, while others have converged towards critical narratives advocated by various social movements, and have actively participated in subsequent discussions on 'overtourism' and 'tourismphobia.' The terms 'overtourism' and 'tourismphobia' emerged as a response to the rapid proliferation of unsustainable mass tourism practices and the corresponding reactions from academics, practitioners, social movements, and grassroots organizations concerned with the detrimental utilization of urban, rural, and coastal spaces, among others, for tourism purposes. The renewed interest in studying the adverse effects of tourism, as encapsulated in the term 'overtourism,' is rooted in a multitude of well-established factors.

Travel and Tourism in the Age of Overtourism: Expanding Perspectives builds upon existing knowledge and offers a theoretical and practical contribution to the ongoing overtourism debate and the underlying system dynamics. This collection provides insights into ways to address this issue from a tourism and planning perspective. It offers critical reflections on the contemporary evolution of tourism development and its implications for individuals, places, and spaces.

The chapters included in this book were originally published as a Special Issue of the journal "Tourism Planning & Development."
