“…Pforr et al [78], without using the word "overtourism", investigate the organizational transformation of regional tourism in Western Australia in order to make it fit for the future, while Gonzalez et al [21] assess the value of impact perceptions as an indicator of social carrying capacity in the heritage town of Besalú in Spain.…”

Overtourism is an emerging concept facing the world’s main tourist destinations. The growth that tourism has undergone in recent decades is of two different types. On the one hand, the development of new technologies and the creation of low-cost airline carriers have increased tourism levels, leading to growth even in emerging economies. On the other hand, uncontrolled demand alongside a concentration of tourism in particular destinations impact negatively both territories and local communities. The problems caused in some destinations by the increasing, ongoing growth in tourism have created the issue of “overtourism,” which is assuming an increasing significance in the literature. This paper contributes to the literature by providing an exploratory study with which to better understand the origins of overtourism, its implications, and predicted future perspectives in respect to the issue. Examination of the new evidence presented here contributes to the expanding knowledge of particular problems of tourism development.

“…SNA is used to investigate the relationship between tourism stakeholders. South Carolina (Ying et al , 2014), Cameroon (Kimbu and Ngoasong, 2013), Western Australia (Pforr et al , 2014), Queensland (Schaffer and Lawley, 2012), Calgary (Alberta, Canada), Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) and San Francisco (Ti̇mur and Getz, 2008) are taken as examples for the research. SNA along with organizational risk analysis software is employed to analyze the distribution channels of tourism services (Tran et al , 2016).…”

PurposeThis paper gathers tourism digital footprint from online travel platforms, choosing social network analysis method to learn the structure of destination networks and to probe into the features of tourist flow network structure and flow characteristics in Guilin of China.Design/methodology/approachThe digital footprint of tourists can be applied to study the behaviors and laws of digital footprint. This research contributes to improving the understanding of demand-driven network relationships among tourist attractions in a destination.Findings(1) Yulong River, Yangshuo West Street, Longji Terraced Fields, Silver Rock and Four Lakes are the divergent and agglomerative centers of tourist flow, which are the top tourist attractions for transiting tourists. (2) The core-periphery structure of the network is clearly stratified. More specifically, the core nodes in the network are prominent and the core area of the network has weak interaction with the peripheral area. (3) There are eight cohesive subgroups in the network structure, which contains certain differences in the radiation effects.Originality/valueThis research aims at exploring the spatial network structure characteristics of tourism flows in Guilin by analyzing the online footprints of tourists. It takes a good try to analyze the application of network footprint with the research of tourism flow characteristics, and also provides a theoretical reference for the design of tourist routes and the cooperative marketing among various attractions.

“…When a disaster occurs, these movements are disrupted. A firm's capacity to adapt their movements may determine the firm's survival and resilience to disruption (Pforr et al 2014; Pin et al 2008; Wedawatta and Ingirige 2012). Both Hurricane Irma and the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the proposed relationship between mobility, motility, adaptation, and resilience.…”

Over 5 years, multiple hurricanes and a pandemic impacted small businesses in Charleston, South Carolina. In order to better understand the impacts of disasters on public-facing small businesses, we conducted a case study of customer, labor, location, and supply chain mobility. Although the disaster contexts of multiple hurricanes and the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic vary considerably, comparing the experiences of small business operators furthers our understanding of local disruptions and the potential for adaptive capacity. Drawing on 2 years of survey data, we focus on the importance of mobility to public-facing (e.g. service and recreation) small business recovery and adaptation. We then consider the relationship between multiple forms of mobility and resilience to two different disaster types. We conclude by identifying additional areas of small business adaptation and resilience inquiry informed by both hurricane and pandemic experiences. In contrast to previous global or regional mobility studies, this case study explores hyper-local small business mobility disruptions.
