Abstract: Abstract Overtourism is emerging as a persistent predicament for cities across the world. It (overtourism) is a complex phenomenon that is constituted by several diverse and interlinked factors that affect particular areas of the city. Considered to be one of the threats to the sustainability goal, the problem of overtourism is being addressed by several effective responses such as structural initiatives at the policy level and through the usage of technology. In the recent past, the concept of the smart city is also addressing the overtourism problem in many European cities. However, such examples are rare when it comes to Asian cities which are often touted as the playground for technological innovations. Designed as a descriptive study, this paper attempts to discuss the various facets of technological interventions that are and have the potential to solve the overtourism issues in Asian cities.
