"The debate of overtourism has become increasingly about the unbalance between tourists’ and inhabitants'\r\nneeds on the one hand and the natural and social impacts on the other. Spreading tourism over place and \r\ntime can result in more sustainable destinations. Based on the theoretical background and empirical \r\nanalysis, it is expected that alternative destinations are likely to attract more tourists if online platforms are \r\nused in the right way. Questionnaire data collected from tourists is analyzed to determine the potentials \r\nof digital platforms and COVID-19 in changing tourists’ behavior and therefore decreasing overtourism. A \r\nrelationship between the online accessibility of destinations and overtourism is found. As online platforms \r\nand especially social media will make alternative destinations more accessible, the number of alternative \r\ntourists is expected to increase, and overtourism will decrease. Tourists are restricted in their destination \r\nchoices because of COVID-19. It is likely that once tourists can travel again, they will try to minimize the risk \r\nof traveling by avoiding crowded destinations and make more use of innovative solutions such as time-\r\nregulated ticketing.\r\nBy giving the smaller destinations a bigger online platform, their competitive position will be better, which\r\nwill lead to a better spreading of tourists, less overcrowded spaces in overtouristic places, and better-\r\nbalanced tourism industry. Innovative solutions to spread tourism will be embraced. COVID-19 is expected \r\nto be an amplifier of this process. Future research should focus on making the transition to a sustainable \r\ntourism industry economically sustainable for established tourism workers."^^ . "2021" . . . . . . . "Kaj ten"^^ .
