Tiivistelmä
Tourism is one of the main sources of income for countries around the world and has some positive effects in tourist destinations: creation of job opportunities, increase in Gross Domestic Product, accelerated growth in supply and demand, export of tourism services, inbound tourism revenues per visitor, the use of the natural assets of the tourist destinations, cultural and creative resources, etc. (Dupeyras and MacCallum, 2013). However, due to the lack of awareness and the relentless and unconcerned increase of touristic activities a few decades ago, tourism has had also negative consequences not only for the environment, but also for society with the appearance of overtourism. The project MOTION: froM OverTourIsm to innOvating sustainable solutions in the EU (MOTION hereafter) is an initiative co-funded by the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union to cope with the overtourism problems.
