In collaboration with Edward Elgar Publishing, A Research Agenda for Overtourism is the latest addition to my library from their catalogue.
It’s also interesting, as the last title from their publishing house that I received is Ordinary Cities, Extraordinary Geographies: People, Place and Space (Cities series). Read more on that here: https://pedestrianspace.org/book-ordinary-cities-extraordinary-geographies/
The topic of ‘ordinary urbanism’ is one at the core of urban research interests as well as, on a personal level, something that ‘calls to me’.
Overtourism is easily one of the key threats or challenges in some cities for a functional and thriving ‘everyday urbanism’, so it’s timely to receive and read on the heels of studying ‘Ordinary Cities, Extraordinary Geographies’.
Book: A Research Agenda for Overtourism: Origins, Problems, Resolutions

Contributing authors put forward novel analytical frameworks and approaches to combat the issue of overtourism, laying a path for future research on the topic.
A Research Agenda for Overtourism is an essential read for students and academics in tourism management and related fields such as development studies, human geography, sociology and economics.
