Matching conflicting approaches, a question of conflict management? An explanatory approach...

Dear Colleagues,

"overtourism", defined by the UNWTO as "“the impact of tourism on a destination, or parts thereof, that excessively influences perceived quality of life of citizens and/or quality of visitors experiences in a negative way” (https://www.e-unwto.org/doi/pdf/10.18111/9789284420070), obviously creates a profound conflict between different stakeholders in tourism such as locals, entrepreneurs, visitors and others. In consequence, in order to "cultivate" overtourism to make it sustainable again, existing conflicts have to be.... managed?

But what is conflict management exactly in the context of sustainable tourism?

Therefore, I may offer an explanatory article about conflict management.

Thanks, bye, Harry

(Incidentally, I think that global warming must be defeated)
