过度旅游已成为一个常见概念，用于描述大量游客可能对目的地造成的负面影响。冰岛是与过度旅游概念最相关的目的地之一。 2010年至2019年，冰岛旅游业快速增长，远高于大多数其他国家，在人均游客比例最高的国家名单中，冰岛排名高达第13位。游客数量的增加对冰岛的经济、社会和环境产生了多方面的影响。本文概述了过度旅游在冰岛国家层面的不同表现形式。所谓的过度旅游的影响被证明是复杂的，管理层的反应因其相对关注点而受到限制。
Overtourism has emerged as a common concept to describe the perceived negative impacts that large numbers of tourists can have on destinations. Iceland is one of the destinations which has been most associated with the concept of overtourism. Tourism in Iceland grew rapidly from 2010 to 2019, much higher than in most other countries, with Iceland reaching a ranking as high as thirteenth on a list of countries with the highest ratio of tourists per inhabitant. The increase in visitors to the country has had various impacts on Iceland’s economy, society and environment. This paper provides an overview of the different ways in which overtourism has revealed itself at a national level in Iceland. The implications of supposed overtourism are shown to be complex, with management responses limited by their relative focus.
