Over-tourism refers to the phenomenon where a destination experiences an excessive influx of tourists, leading to negative impacts on the local environment, infrastructure, and quality of life for residents. This imbalance disrupts the socio-economic and ecological equilibrium, often resulting in long-term degradation of cultural heritage and natural resources. The term has gained prominence as global travel accessibility has increased, exacerbating pressures on popular destinations.
