This thesis provides an in-depth examination of the theoretical foundations of overtourism, one of the key factors affecting the sustainable development of tourist destinations, its underlying causes, and its economic, social, and environmental consequences. An increase in the number of visitors to tourist areas can stimulate economic activity, create employment opportunities, and promote the development of the service sector. However, it can also intensify pressure on natural resources, accelerate the deterioration of historical and cultural sites, increase traffic congestion, and worsen local residents’ living conditions. In this context, the thesis analyzes organizational and economic mechanisms for reducing overtourism, the rational use of tourism resources, the allocation of tourism revenues to regional development, the strengthening of public-private partnerships, and the protection of local communities’ interests. It also puts forward proposals aimed at ensuring the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of tourist destinations.
