Overtourism emphasizes that
an excessive number of tourists in a particular destination can have negative
effects on society. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effects of over tourism
on the two touristic islands in Çanakkale, Bozcaada and Gökçeada, from the eyes
of the local people.In line with this purpose, the perception of the local
people about the effects of tourism, problems caused by tourists and their
attitudes towards tourists were evaluated with 260 data using the survey
method. According to the research findings, although there is a positive
perception towards tourism in the islands, there are also problems caused by
tourism. In addition, the local people of Bozcaada have a more negative
perception of tourism effects, problems caused by tourists and their attitudes
towards tourists compared to the local people of Gökçeada. At the end of the
study, the reasons for this were discussed and various suggestions were
presented.
