Abstract

This thesis seeks to partake in the discussion on overtourism by displaying the perspective of young travellers. The focus is on critical encounters with anti-tourism protests and how it influences the travel behaviour of young travellers. Negative emotions towards the anti-tourism protests keep the overtone in this study. However, they do not always lead to behavioural changes. New dimensions of behavioural responses are presented in this thesis which gives an overview of the travel behaviour and attitude towards the publicly presented frustration of local communities in European cities. Through a closer interpretation on the young travellers’ view on overtourism, it is presented that the core of the local communities frustration is not evident for the young travellers. This results in having limited knowledge about how tourist should behave to minimize disturbance to the life of locals.
