Tourism Theories and Practices Assessment 3 Write an essay in which you first explain why the phenomenon of ‘overtourism’ (also referred to as ‘anti-tourism’) has emerged to become a significant issue for certain tourism destinations pre-COVID19, and, second, suggest ways by which relevant tourism stakeholder organisations (at global, national and local levels), could help to prevent this issue from re-occurring post- COVID19. Overtourism or anti-tourism refers to an organised ‘social protest movement’ that emerges due to increasingly hostile reactions by local citizens towards tourists and tourism development and activity (see https://theconversation.com/overtourism-a-growing-global- problem-100029). It has been particularly obvious over the past few years in popular destinations such as Barcelona, Venice, Amsterdam, Berlin and other significant tourist destinations. There are also indications that at many other destinations such as Bali and Byron Bay, local residents are becoming less tolerant of tourists and the impacts that they bring. The extreme downturn in tourism during COVID19 has highlighted the importantance of tourism to destinations worldwide and its important and positive contributions to global and local economies and communities. COVID19 has brought about an opportunity for tourism practitioners to learn and reflect on how restarted tourism economies should be changed and managed effectively and fairly to avoid a return to overtourism/anti-tourism by addressing its root causes. Your essay will need to define what overtourism is; provide examples of where it was occurring and what its effects were; discuss the effects of COVID19 on tourism and tourism destinations and identify ways by which relevant stakeholders within the whole tourism system could maximise the benefits of tourism in a post-COVID19 world to avoid a return to overtourism. You will need to use the relevant literature to develop your ideas and arguments. Again, the text book is expected to be frequently referenced as there are numerous theories and concepts that can be discussed in relation to overtourism, just like in Assessment 2. These may include the sustainability concept and its indicators, mass tourism, including sociocultural and environmental management approaches, tourist attraction theory and economic benefits and costs, tourist typology and tourism marketing approaches, for example. Other important resources will be the WTO site and other tourism and destination management organisations, as well as credible discussion sites such as the Conversation.

Tourism can be found on a range of industries. To enhance and better understand this sector we will be using the Leiper's entire tourism system (WTS), which describes a tourist's trip from the point of origin to the end of the destination (Badal, 2019). Over-tourism is a phrase used to characterise destinations that have reached their maximum capacity and have begun to negatively influence the quality of life of local inhabitants (Milano, Cheer & Novelli, 2019). Instead of being confined to large cities, where tourists will come and go at set times and leave waste and pollution behind, over-tourism has become a concern in some nations (Hafsa, 2019). In an effort to escape perceived social shame, the anti-tourist is believed to live in every tourist hidden underneath their normal behaviour. This characteristics in a person surfaces when they wish to show which stands against the normal and random qualities that any average tourist would possess (Mihalic, 2022).    Comment by Gareth Eldridge: Remove irrelevant areas and join this information together.
Covid-19 and Over-tourism
Indeed, foreign tourism has increased steadily over the previous decade, but it has grown enormously in certain areas. There is over-tourism when there is an immediate increase in the number of tourists arriving at tourist locations. Overpopulation and violent demonstrations among local people, known as anti-tourism, result from this unregulated and unplanned urban overcrowding. An in-depth analysis of the repercussions of over-tourism and its influence on sustainable tourism has been studied by many researchers (Ide, 2021). Also, the host community, residents, suppliers, government, and non-government groups came up with feasible ideas to assure the future sustainability of tourism in their respective areas of interest (NGOs).
After ten years of fast expansion and changes in travel habits among tourists and locals alike, it has become increasingly difficult for inhabitants of cities and nations to maintain a sense of familiarity. In Leiper's World Tourism Survey (WTS), the tourist-generating region is the starting point for many reasons for over-tourism (TGR). Many factors contribute to over-tourism, such as marketing and tourism success, issues with sustainability, and respect for the inhabitants and culture. Due to travel limitations, the problem of over-tourism will come to an abrupt end in 2020 (Newsome, 2020). What will happen when we get out of this crisis? Will "regular" tourism life return, including the over-tourism problem? Maybe they'll go to places that are not as well-known as others.    Comment by Gareth Eldridge: I have attached a template for this assignment. Follow the advice given there for the body paragraphs.    Comment by Gareth Eldridge: A body paragraph should use the following ‘burger’ structure:1. TOPIC SENTENCE: State your point directly and make sure it links directly to the question and the heading if there is one. Do not use citation. Useful phrases might be “One major problem is…”, “Another significant cause of… is…”, “One reason that…”.2. SUPPORTING SENTENCES: This is the information that comes from your research and you use it to prove your topic sentence. Add clarification and extra details. Give examples and reasons. Answer questions such as “How?”, “Why?”, “Which?” etc.All the ideas must link together LOGICALLY and not jump around (this is called ‘unity’ or ‘coherence’). Join all the ideas together clearly using linking phrases “Moreover, Additionally, Hence” etc. (this is called cohesion).EVERY supporting sentence needs in-text citation (author surname + year) or a continuation phrase “He adds that”, “They further state that” etc. Do not repeat the same citation concurrently – use a continuation phrase instead.3. CONCLUDING COMMENT: Paraphrase the topic sentence and then extend it with your own deduction based on your reading. What did you learn? Why is your topic sentence true? Do not use citation here as this is your chance to add your own voice.
Under-tourism has been coined as well. Increasingly, less-frequented places employ under-tourism as a marketing strategy. Because we're not as congested as our neighbours, they say, come here. To avoid the crowds, tourists will increasingly seek out nature and outdoor locations "off-the-beaten-path". Beach locations (38.2%) and small towns/rural regions (30%) were the most popular choices among US travellers (Holden, 2017). As a result of these objectives,...
