Abstract: This paper explores how visitor management can be operationalized to support sustainable development of peripheral mountainous communities facing tourism pressures. It argues for anchoring visitor management into municipal planning to align tourism and second home development with local community needs and goals. Building on results co-produced through interdisciplinary and collaborative case-study research, the paper presents six methods to attend to the needs of locals and visitors, while shielding natural areas and wildlife. Moreover, it illustrates how planners can deploy these methods to incorporate relevant knowledge into planning, while reflecting on the research-practitioner collaboration for future research and planning practice.
