“…Some destinations have taken this further and introduced restrictions on the number of tourists who can travel there at any time, and we are seeing more and more examples of this around the world. For example, the island of Borocay in the Philippines has been closed to tourists for two years in order to recover from the negative environmental effects of tourism in recent years (Canoy et al, 2020). A famous art festival Burning Man held in the magnificent Black Rock desert in Nevada, United States also limits the number of attendees (Strielkowski, 2018) since it introduced a lottery system to obtain the tickets for the event (Fig.…”

Sustainable tourism in the digital age: Institutional and economic implications

The term "sustainable tourism" has been in the core of the tourism industry since the last decades of the 20th century due to the globalization and digitalization of the world economy that have also led to many institutional changes. Sustainable development is now a part of tourism strategies and visions, especially when it comes to the possible links between tourism and its impact on sustainable development. In addition, the ubiquitous digitalization has also made a significant impact on both. In this paper, we analyze the role of the sustainable tourism in the digital age using the example of the Burning Man festival, an annual event held in Nevada desert each year around Labour Day weekend with nearly sixty thousand people gathering to build a temporary city full of art, music, and interactivity. Our study is based on a unique own survey questionnaire administered at Burning Man festival in 2017. We use the travel cost method for computing the non-market valuation of demand from visiting Burning Man and show how digitalization helped the event to survive amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, this paper outlines the impact that the relationship between tourism, digitalization, and sustainable development can have on the economic growth and the institutional change. We argue that sustainable tourism can meet the needs of the current tourism industry (both domestic and international), while protecting the environment, promoting future opportunities, as well as taking into account the long-term impact of tourism on local communities and the local and international economy.

“…As a consequence, in destinations such as Venice (Seraphin et al, 2018) and Barcelona, antitourism protesters are active, damaging cities' reputation and its economy (Milano et al, 2019a). In other cases, uncontrolled growth of tourism leads to complete closure of destinations, such as Boracay (Canoy et al, 2020;Reyes et al, 2018). Somers Cocks (2017) reports that despite UNESCO's threat to put Venice on its 'sites in danger' list, the Comune (town council) of Venice has been actively marketing to tourists from China, as with its presentation at Expo 2010 Shanghai and enticing Chinese investment in tourism and other sectors of the economy, through trade agreements with Chinese officials in 2016.…”

Various disciplines have called upon further exploration of stupidity. The issue is pertinent to tourism as well. Stupidity in tourism may occur due to the lack of sound judgment by those involved in tourism, and it can negatively impact tourists themselves, other people, animals, organisations, or destinations. We conceptualise various manifestations of stupidity in tourism by adapting Sternberg's Balanced Theory of Wisdom (2003) and Greenspan's Explanatory Model of Human Foolishness to an Imbalanced Theory of Stupidity (2019). We then view stupid behaviour through a framework developed by Cipolla in the book The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity. The framework places all people on two axes: losses/benefits to themselves and losses/benefits to others, thus resulting in four quadrants. This paper provides a basis for further investigation of the irrational behaviour of tourists and the impacts of circumstances on stupid behaviour.
