Abstract: Abstract Tourism growth and its peculiar features are source of multiple phenomena having both negative and positive impacts on the territory and the economy. It can be a cause of excessive congestion and at same time instrument of rapid recovery after a shock, because of its resilient nature. This chapter provides analytical tools to understand and measure the phenomenon of overtourism together with a theoretical description of the broad concept of economic resilience and its application to the tourism sector. The aim is to provide a framework to understand the trade-offs between the ability to contribute to recovery and growth on one side and the congestion of the territory on the other side due to the tourism sector expansion.
