Abstract
We live in a highly mobile world, in which the movement of people is part of everyday life. This becomes especially evident in the field of tourism as tourist numbers are increasing yearly worldwide. As a result, famous tourist destinations struggle with high tourist numbers and the issues connected to overtourism. Cruise tourism is often addressed in this context. By the temporal and spatial concentration of cruise tourists and ships, cruise tourism causes pressure on a destination and its technical net-worked infrastructure. This research examines the impact of cruise tourism on a destination’s infrastructure systems using Dubrovnik, Croatia, as a case study. By focusing on social and infrastructural aspects, it contributes to a better understanding of the phenomenon of overtourism.
