Sustainable Destination, Overtourism, Global tourism industryAbstract
This report briefly reviews and sorts out the proposal of sustainable development theory and clarifies the definition of the term "overtourism". Through a series of cases of famous tourist destinations around the world, the issues and impacts of overtourism are revealed, and some solutions adopted by governments and organizations in various places are reviewed critically. Overtourism has become a global problem for a long time, and the development of sustainable destinations is an inevitable path for the global tourism industry. But it does not have a unified solution. To solve this problem requires the joint efforts of all stakeholders.
