Education as a Way To Tackle Overtourism: the Application of the Principles of Responsible Management Education (prme)

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to discuss whether the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) can potentially be an integral part of strategies addressing the issue of overtourism. The chapter demonstrates that the PRME can be used as a supporting tool as its principles potentially constitute and underscore the significance of a responsible and sustainable world. As such, they can play a crucial role in drawing the attention of higher education institutions and industry practitioners towards achieving the SDGs, while dealing with the issue of overtourism through education. The chapter also shows that as the measures and targets of the PRME are also in alignment with the SDGs, they can be considered as a highly effective tool in helping overcome the problem of overtourism. © The Author(s) 2020.
