Overtourism

Abstract

The United Nations defined sustainability as any development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. Three areas are concerned by this dogma: people, the planet and profit margins. To take care of all three areas, there is an urge to reduce, reuse and recycle in every industry and/or sector (Séraphin and Nolan 2019).
