“…1995). Ayrıca turist tipleri, yerel halk ile turistlerin buluştukları nokta ve zamanlar, turist davranışları ve beklentileri, turistlerin ve yerel halkın memnuniyet durumu, yerel halka sağlanan istihdam oranları ve suç oranları taşıma kapasitesi açısından önem taşımaktadır (Joshi ve Dahal, 2019;Mccool ve Lime, 2001).

“…Th e concept of long-term (destination) sustainability is closely related to the determination of the maximum acceptable level of tourist load within an area, a notion which is commonly known as a destination's carrying capacity (Carić & Klarić, 2011;Liu & Borthwick, 2011;Wei et al, 2015;Joshi & Dahal, 2019). Th e carrying capacity of a tourist destination is usually defi ned as "the maximum number of people who can simultaneously visit a certain place without the adverse eff ect on the physical, economic and social environment, and without an unacceptable decline in visitor satisfaction" (UNWTO, 1981;McIntyre, 1993).…”

“…As a result of gradual changes in the understanding of the complexities in a destination's carrying capacity assessment, all of the aforementioned indicator groups are nowadays being addressed with almost equal relevance. In other words, the primary orientation on the physical-ecological indicators has gradually been expanded so as to allow for the increasing awareness of the relevance of the socio-demographic, as well as the political-economic indicators (Carić & Klarić, 2011;Sharma, 2016;Joshi & Dahal, 2019;Ye et al, 2020).…”

“…The concept of carrying capacity, originally derived from defining the maximum populations of specific regions in agriculture, ecosystems, and biology, has been widely used in tourism since the 1960s, and it has been mentioned in relation to the growing debate on sustainability, most concerned with overtourism (Faulkner & Tideswell, 1997;Ballester, 2018;Coccossis & Mexa, 2017;UNWTO, 2018;Benner, 2019;Capocchi et al, 2019). UNWTO defines the carrying capacity of the tourist destination as "the maximum number of people that may visit a tourist destination at the same time, without causing destruction of the physical, economic and socio-cultural environment and an unacceptable decrease in the quality of visitors' satisfaction" (Koens, Postma, & Papp, 2018;Joshi & Dahal, 2019). It is also frequently used as an approach to the negative effects of tourism (Butler, 1999;Saarinen, 2006;Muler Gonzalez, Coromina, & Gali, 2018;Capocchi et al, 2019).…”
