Abstract

The externalities of tourism have become increasingly visible over the last decade, manifesting themselves in anti-tourism demonstrations in popular destinations such as: Venice, Dubrovnik, Santorini, Barcelona and Amsterdam. These reactions, in conjunction with the corresponding press attention, have led to a variety of proposed measures by tourism stakeholders and decision-makers, aimed at controlling tourism development and restricting incoming tourism. This paper aims at: exploring the root causes of the over-tourism phenomenon, critically assessing the mainstream theories behind it, and questioning the effectiveness of the current measures proposed.
