Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main goal of this Special Issue is to provide an up-to-date report on the state of the art of all aspects related to the management of tourist activity in coastal metropolitan areas (typology of tourism; environmental, territorial, and social impact of tourism in metropolitan areas; smart tourism management tools; tourism planning and management; etc.).
Tourism is a development factor in many coastal metropolitan areas. It is a cause of strong territorial and social transformations in these spaces. The complexity of tourism planning and management in coastal urban areas makes it necessary to design tools that help create sustainable management models that avoid the negative impacts produced by tourism. The study of these phenomena requires a multi-disciplinary approach and the implementation of monitoring techniques at different spatial and temporal scales.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome in this Special Issue. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: planning and management of tourism in coastal metropolitan areas; characteristics and analysis of blue tourism; evaluation tools for tourism in urban areas; the environmental, economic and social impact of tourism in these areas; the effects of climate change on tourism in coastal areas; territorial transformations caused by tourism in metropolitan areas; the use of coastal heritage for tourism; and overtourism, among other topics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
