Resumo(s)
Sustainable development of tourist destinations, of any scale, such as countries, regions or
municipalities, is hampered by the challenges that sustainability measurement faces.
Although progress is being made in the measurement of tourism standards, such as IRTS
2008, by the UN and UNWTO, measurement of tourism at the subnational level still lacks
international standards. In addition, measuring tourism sustainability means even more
difficulties for tourism destinations, since standards have not yet been internationally
agreed and resources and skills to develop them are scarce. To avoid or mitigate the excess
of tourists, destinations that seek sustainable tourism development often include measures
of tourism carrying capacity as part of their management processes. The methodology for
measuring tourism carrying capacity of tourism resources, when seeking to obtain a
maximum number of visitors that a destination can accept, is abundant. This is the case
of those resources with clear entry and exit points. However, when an inhabited tourism
destination wishes to avoid or mitigate the problems of tourism carrying capacity excess
for the entire destination and not just of a tourism resource, from a management
perspective and without pointing to a single figure, the literature on methodologies in
this regard is scarce. This gap is addressed in this paper, as it proposes a methodology to
measure tourism carrying capacity in inhabited tourism destinations through alerts that
could help destination managers to act.
