Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bridging (over)tourism geographies: proposing a systems approach in overtourism research

Q: How do you see rural and peripheral areas fitting into this system perspective?

Back notes that rural areas often face distinct drivers and that the literature has overemphasized urban contexts; bridging spatial contexts can reveal common structural drivers and inform more holistic solutions.

Bridging (over)tourism geographies: proposing a systems approach in overtourism research

Q: Why focus on local-level solutions, and how can they be connected to broader scales?

He argues that local issues are where overtourism is felt most directly, but cautions that local fixes may displace problems elsewhere; therefore, a systemic approach linking local actions to national policies is essential for meaningful change.

Bridging (over)tourism geographies: proposing a systems approach in overtourism research

Q: Can you describe your initial motivation for the bibliometric analysis and how you conducted it?
