“…In this direction, the establishment of the tourist load capacity, which ensures the environmental quality of the lived experience, has been a subject of scientific interest [20][21][22][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Some researchers oriented their research on tourism carrying capacity towards the relationship between tourism market dynamics and demand behaviour [30,[33][34][35], while other researchers focused on the study of carrying capacity from the perspective of perception [17][18][19][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46], especially due to "the growing impact that tourism has generated in terms of the concentration of flows on several main tourist destinations all around the world and issues related to the governance of the tourism phenomenon" [47] (p. 6).…”

Exploring the social dimension of sandy beaches through predictive modelling

“…Other topics of attention have been socio-economic concerns including accessibility (Dixon et al, 2012;Oh et al, 2008), quality rating systems (Nelson et al, 2000;Cagilaba and Rennie, 2005), littering (Santos et al, 2005), beach nourishment (AECOM, 2010;Peterson and Bishop, 2005), beach erosion (Dahm, 2003;Keqi et al, 2001;Mendoza and Jim enez, 2006) and management frameworks (Sard a et al, 2015;Gore, 2007;Micallef and Williams, 2002;James, 2000b). In Latin America and the Caribbean research has analysed carrying capacity (Amador Soriano et al, 2013), perception of ecosystem services and local threats (Guerra-Vargas and Mancera-Pineda, 2015) and user preferences (Williams and Barugh, 2014;Botero et al, 2013).…”
