Content:
With the main idea of 'Overtourism':
a) Choose a destination (tourism region, -city,
-site, -attraction) in your own country which you would define as a ‘striking example’ in terms of the existence
of
overtourism. Describe the situation and challenges that occur
for the destination and its related stakeholders (people and
organizations). Give examples of media coverage of
overtourism for this destination.
b) In what way(s) does this destination deal with these challenges
of
overtourism? In other words: What information can be found on
policy/strategy this destination
has in order to cope with
overtourism?
Marketing:
c) How is this destination promoted in general?
And: Find out how far these promotional marketing-activities that are communicated by this destination to the different
stakeholders take the challenges of
overtourism into account. Illustrate the above
with examples.
d) Give an insight into the destination's other
marketing decisions (price, place) which are used to market this destination in general (so not
specifically
overtourism-related).
Goal:
Benchmarking the different countries’ existence and ways of dealing with the challenges of 'overtourism' and marketing-efforts made.
