This study employs longitudinal process tracing to examine overtourism in Barcelona (1986–2025), tracing its trajectory from an industrial port to global tourism hub. Drawing on 45 evidentiary units, Bayesian updating, and Collier’s (2011) diagnostic tests, we validate seven causal mechanisms: infrastructure lock-in, regulatory gaps, digital amplification, cultural commodification, resident resistance, governance fragmentation, and biopolitical e…

This paper aims to review past research concerning how distance might influence tourists’ decision-making by presenting a qualitative thematic review and conceptual framework. We analysed indexed academic articles (n = 66) in peer-reviewed journals to organise and critically assess the grow…

Visitors and Residents in El Raval Neighborhood of Barcelona. New Opportunities for Creative Tourism

The research took place in Barcelona, a city that has become, during the last three decades (1990-2020), a renowned international urban destination. El Raval, a central and multicultural neighbourhood, is the most serious example of a neighbourhood in the city that has experienced rapid tourism growth and pressure. Given the city’s wholesale adoption of…
