Abstract: : Overtourism occurs when the number of tourists within a destination surpasses its carrying capacity. It has justly become an extremely pressing global concern, notably affecting places such as Venice, Barcelona, and the Maldives. This tourist inflow, in the face of low-cost travel, its subsequent demand driven by social media, and greatly improved worldwide mobility, has become strong drivers of essential negative impacts on the environment, local communities, and cultural heritage. Such are environmental, pertaining to pollution and habitat destruction, social, related to the displacing of residents and cultural dilution, and economic, in that tourism revenues are very unevenly distributed. In fact, this will call for multilevel control of overtourism, which shall involve enhancing sustainable tourism practices, improving infrastructure, and stakeholder involvement in strategic planning. Solutions have to aim at preserving natural and cultural integrity at destinations while keeping economic viability. Effective management strategies balance tourism benefits against destination protection through diversification, visitor management, and community involvement.
