Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Tourism – Miscellaneous, grade: 1, 0, University of Derby, language: English, abstract: This research paper is a critical analysis of visitor pressure in amusement parks. Overtourism and visitor pressure are growing themes in the tourism industry and in destination management. Different, big cities are affected. The phenomenon will be supported with a case study of an amusement park as an artificial destination – Europa Park in Germany.
The development towards overtourism and stakeholder relations are analysed in view of facing issues for the park itself and the main stakeholders on the micro level: the residents, the employees and the visitors. The transition from a day attraction towards a short-trip destination is used to show the process of growing visitor numbers.
Afterwards, critical issues like pollution, through traffic, and further developments are analysed considering the different stakeholders. Finally, recommendations are given to deal with problems of visitor pressure in amusement parks.
