Summary
Overtourism manifests unevenly in space and time, necessitating precise identification of affected areas to apply targeted mitigation measures. This study defines the relevant tourist area for overtourism analysis at UNESCO World Heritage Sites Karlštejn and Kladruby nad Labem using a demand-oriented approach. By graphically delineating these zones in ArcGIS Pro and numerically via the Dissolve function, researchers calculated tourism pressure indicators, revealing significant overtourism impacts at Karlštejn compared to other affected destinations. The findings underscore the importance of spatially explicit analysis for effective management strategies.
