"What factors do you think contribute to the emergence of overtourism?" Cities are experiencing a surge in tourist traffic, but the question is whether they are prepared to meet the demand or not. In fact, it appears that many of us have misunderstood the concept of tourism. Tourism sector in cities and especially in mountain regions is growing so quickly that there isn't enough time for nature to make the needed adjustments. A destination should develop organically. Increasing bed capacity to accommodate more tourists is not the answer. It will eventually overcrowd areas of the city that were not designed to accommodate the tourist influx. The relationship between tourism and culture is interdependent, with each relying on the other for various reasons. I believe overtourism often stems from cultural tourism as a primary catalyst, leading to a number of factors that attract tourists.

The hospitality sector is underrated, for example tourism, the tourism industry is not given enough credit and recognition for its value.  When many people think about the tourism industry, they visualize only the front-line workers, the Holidays Representatives, the waiters etc. But in reality, the tourism industry stretches much further than that. The tourism industry is closely interconnected with a number of global industries and sectors ranging from trade to ecological conservation.  Tourism is important in many different ways, it generates foreign exchange currencies, which contributes to the host economy. Tourism contributes government revenues, it generates employment, it leads to the commercialization of art forms and hand crafts and it brings in wealth, exposure, growth and employment to name a few

What is tourism Tourism is more than just visiting new places or taking a temporary break from everyday life. It’s about learning about different cultures, immersing you in local traditions, and gaining a deeper understanding of the world around us. In a fast-paced, globalized world, tourism acts as a bridge that connects people across borders, promoting mutual respect and appreciation for different ways of life.
