Abstract

Is overtourism a new issue in tourism development, or just a new term for an existing phenomenon? The problems caused in some destinations by the increasing growth in tourism have resulted in the recent introduction of the term ‘overtourism’, recalling issues discussed in the literature since the early ‘70s. This paper aims to answer the question of whether overtourism is a novel issue through an initial exploratory study.
