Rural overtourism: A typology of negative effects

Original language description

For many rural areas, tourism is an opportunity to improve local people‘s quality of life and prevent their migration to central regions. However, tourism also brings some negative effects to rural areas, which can cause some hostility among locals and visitors. These negative effects can arise for various reasons: It can be the ruthlessness of visitors, the ambiguity of local rules, the state of the tourist infrastructure, but also too many visitors-in which case we call this the negative effect of overtourism. In this article, we tried to document various negative effects of mass tourism in rural areas of northern and eastern Bohemia. We distinguished the reason for this situation: Whether the excessive number of tourists, which the site is no longer able to absorb, or whether the reasons are different. The research methods were interviewing local residents. We tried to find out their opinions on tourists, and field observations, where we verified whether the information obtained corresponds to the actual situation. From the obtained results, we created a typology that can help municipalities feel affected by overtourism. Our survey results show that in many cases, it is not possible to talk about overtourism, but that targeted actions of destination management would improve the situation. On the other hand, in some localities, these adverse effects are caused by an excessive number of tourists, and the solution to this situation is more complicated.
