Abstract: The increase in the influx of tourists to heritage sites as well as the responsibility of preserving them has made it essential to clearly understand the carrying capacity thresholds. Even though it is a simple concept which has been widely discussed in scientific literature, there are many definitions of tourist carrying capacity. This makes it difficult to find a methodology which can be applied to the specific characteristics of each case. In tourist areas of historical heritage there have been only a scarce few studies conducted on carrying capacity, however those responsible for their management have a constantly increasing need to better understand it. Therefore, this article develops a variety of methodological reflections and it also examines how they can be applied to tourist areas of this nature, analyzing the carrying capacity of the Carmona (Seville, Spain) Archeological Sites.
