Further, Jeju Island has suffered from overtourism in recent years due to overflow of both domestic and foreign travelers [51]. Through a screening question, it was confirmed that all the survey respondents had visited Jeju Island in person at least once.…”

As overtourism has become a serious threat to the tourism industry in recent years, this study attempts to extend the theoretical framework of organization-public relationship (OPR) developed in the public relations scholarship to the context of overtourism. To that end, the concept of place–visitor relationship (PVR) is theoretically suggested and empirically tested in a structural equation model. Also, statistical reliability and validity of PVR are put under investigation. The findings helped confirm the roles and functions of PVR as a potential solution to overtourism in the social media era. As an antecedent, visitors’ affective tour experiences stemming from exposure to social media information significantly influenced PVR. PVR, on the other hand, significantly affected attitudes toward a place and, further, behavioral intentions toward measures against overtourism. In addition, the findings revealed that PVR consists of two sub-factors: Loyalty and relational attachment. Relationship strategies as a solution to the issue of overtourism are discussed in light of PVR.

“…This study classified factors of overtourism into economic, social, cultural, and environmental factors, and derived them by reviewing related prior studies in order to grasp the effects of factors on the quality of life and overtourism perception of local residents (Liu, Sheldon, & Var, 1987;Martín et al, 2018;Muler Gonzalez et al, 2018;Choi et al, 2019;Jordan et al, 2019;Kuščer & Mihalič, 2019). The selected factors are shown in Table 1.…”

“…The social and environmental factors that resulted in insignificance among the factors have been criticized as overtourism problems in Jeju Island (Choi et al, 2019). In addition, the environmental seriousness from plastic waste on the coastal area of Jeju beaches is often reported, debating who brought them into the island or who caused the problem (Chang et al, 2020).…”

“…Issues caused by overtourism include sociocultural problems such as deterioration of the quality of life of local residents and destruction of cultural heritage sites, environmental issues threatened by sustainability of natural ecosystems, and limited economic benefits to local residents. Jeju, Korea's representative island tourist destination, is gradually showing those obstacle associated overtourism (Choi, Kim, Chang, & Koo, 2019). Island tourism destinations have a spatial limitation that is closely related to the concept of carrying capacity due to the uniqueness of islands, and the ecological environment may be easily damaged (Hall, 2012;Azzopardi, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the problems caused by overtourism affect the quality of life of Jeju residents and their perceptions of the overtourism phenomenon by exploring related factors for future policy implications. In the research model, each independent factor related to tourists affects the quality of life of residents, and the mediation variable (QoL) ultimately agrees with overtourism. This study uses Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), which is less influenced by the sample size. The research is based on 360 questionnaires. The test results showed that cultural factors affected the QoL statistically at 1% significance level, and economic factors were significant at 5%. The quality of life variable affects the agreement of overtourism (p-value 1% significance level). An indirect effect analysis on whether each independent factor affects the overtourism factor through the parameter of the QoL of the residents showed that the cultural factor at 5% level statistically affected it, and economic factors were significant at 10%. In conclusion, we recommend implementing both economic and cultural factors to reduce the negative perception of overtourism for the policy planning. Further research in multiple aspects should be continued to overcome the vulnerability of the Island destination tourism.
