Overtourism: Impact and Possible Policy Responses STUDY Requested by the TRAN committee Research for TRAN Committee - Overtourism: impact and possible policy responses Policy Department for Structural and Cohesion Policies Directorate-General for Internal Policies EN PE 629.184 - October 2018 Research for TRAN Committee - Overtourism: impact and possible policy responses Abstract This study addresses the complex phenomenon of overtourism in the EU. By focusing on a set of case studies, the study reports on overtourism indicators, discusses management approaches implemented within different destinations and assesses policy responses. It concludes that a common set of indicators cannot be defined because of the complex causes and effects of overtourism. Avoiding overtourism requires custom-made policies in cooperation between destinations' stakeholders and policymakers. This document was requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN).

  • Develop Sustainable Ecotourism for Alger County, Michigan
    OUR PROJECT: DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE ECOTOURISM FOR ALGER COUNTY, MICHIGAN Dr. Scott Jordan ([email protected]) & David Kronk ([email protected]) Northern Michigan University WHAT IS OVERTOURISM? • "Overtourism"- Tourism that has moved beyond the limits of acceptable change in a destination due to quantity of visitors, resulting in degradation of the environment and infrastructure, diminished travel experience, wear and tear on built heritage, and/or negative impacts on residents. WHAT IS ECOTOURISM? • Ecotourism is defined as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education”. PRINCIPLES OF ECOTOURISM The travel experience should: 1. Support the conservation of natural areas and wildlife 2. Minimize air and water pollution as well as tourist waste 3. Offer safe and enriching or educational visitor experiences 4. Respect the cultural tradition of the host destination 5. Maintain and enhance the landscape so as to avoid physical or environmental degradation 6. Efficiently use scarce or non-renewable resources, and 7. Maximize opportunities for local prosperity for the host destination in the form of long-term economic viability for tourism, local management control, quality employment, local retention of visitor spending, and fair distribution of economic and social benefits. WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE ECOTOURISM? Sustainable: capable of being maintained at a steady level without damage to existing community, natural resources or economy. Ecotourism:

  • Pilgrims to Thule
    MARBURG JOURNAL OF RELIGION, Vol. 22, No. 1 (2020) 1 Pilgrims to Thule: Religion and the Supernatural in Travel Literature about Iceland Matthias Egeler Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Abstract The depiction of religion, spirituality, and/or the ‘supernatural’ in travel writing, and more generally interconnections between religion and tourism, form a broad and growing field of research in the study of religions. This contribution presents the first study in this field that tackles tourism in and travel writing about Iceland. Using three contrasting pairs of German and English travelogues from the 1890s, the 1930s, and the 2010s, it illustrates a number of shared trends in the treatment of religion, religious history, and the supernatural in German and English travel writing about Iceland, as well as a shift that happened in recent decades, where the interests of travel writers seem to have undergone a marked change and Iceland appears to have turned from a land of ancient Northern mythology into a country ‘where people still believe in elves’. The article tentatively correlates this shift with a change in the Icelandic self-representation, highlights a number of questions arising from both this shift and its seeming correlation with Icelandic strategies of tourism marketing, and notes a number of perspectives in which Iceland can be a highly relevant topic for the research field of religion and tourism. Introduction England and Germany have long shared a deep fascination with Iceland. In spite of Iceland’s location far out in the North Atlantic and the comparative inaccessibility that this entailed, travellers wealthy enough to afford the long overseas passage started flocking to the country even in the first half of the nineteenth century.
