Abstract: Abstract The presence of special attractions motivates potential tourists especially to visit these areas. This situation increases the density of tourists’ excessive numbers in popular destinations. Overtourism, which causes many negative economic, social, cultural and physical effects, puts pressure on local people living in the region and affects their daily lives. Therefore, it is important for sustainability to manage the carrying capacity and to find out and solve the reasons in order to minimize or eliminate these negative effects that cause negative perceptions on tourists. In this context, technological innovations should be used as one of the most helpful areas to combat overtourism as well as movements that increase overtourism. This chapter of the book discusses the uses of technological applications on overtourism in Turkey. Finally, in the context of technological applications, it is presented facilitating solutions and suggestions for both the tourists coming to the region and the local people living in the region.
