Abstract

This chapter gives an insight into the issues of overtourism confronted by countries that can be mitigated through the use of Information and Community Technology (ICT) mechanisms to sustain the tourism industry. The fundamental proposition is that the adverse impacts of the influx of excessive tourism in destinations can be tackled through technology-led ambidextrous management policy such as smart technology, use of mobile apps to detect the tourists’ data, analytics for crowd management, censoring tools to observe the behavior of the tourists, tourist cards, eco-friendly apps to conserve bio-diversity, and beach monitoring systems for good governance as well as for restoring peace and harmony of the host country. A model is conceptualized to establish the nature of the association between overtourism and the diffusion of technological innovation as well as diverse aspects of the economy. Our conceptual model generalizes the significance of technology and its feasible solution in mitigating the problems of overtourism.
