A tool for the sustainable management of tourism in Barcelona.

Researchers José Antonio Donaire, Nuria Galí and Lluís Cormoina have carried out a study entitled “Evaluating tourism scenarios within the limit of acceptable change framework in Barcelona.” The paper presents an expanded model of the Limit of Acceptable Change, which improves the traditional approach by incorporating various tourism scenarios and a wider range of indicators.

The research introduces an extended version of the traditional model, incorporating a greater diversity of tourism scenarios and indicators. To carry out the study, twenty key indicators and six different scenarios were chosen, from here the research indicates that changes in tourism patterns are required to achieve significant variations in the indicators. 

The article reveals that changes in tourism patterns are required to impact these indicators. Considering tourist numbers and their typologies in sustainable tourism management will provide destination planners with a valuable tool for strategic decision-making and long-term planning.

The research by Donaire, Galí and Coromina offers a detailed guide to improving the sustainability of tourism in Barcelona. It not only provides an innovative perspective, but can also serve as a model for other cities seeking sustainable and economic development.
