The Touristification of Italian Historic City Centres: The Lesson for Central Europe about the Airbnb Eruption
Abstrakt
The unparalleled scale of the recent growth in tourism – the rise of the number of temporary visitors – could not have emerged without the impact on other socio‑economic aspects, namely, a change on the part of the destinations. Especially historic city centres are vulnerable to such an impact that could be manifested through diverse transformations of public space usage, housing market economics, availability of services, employment market, cultural heritage management, and everyday life of ordinary residents. Those processes may be indicated as the so‑called “touristification” – the kind of gentrification caused by the uncontrollable growth of the tourism economy. Therefore, together with the latest eruption of the short‑term rental market, identified with the foundation of the peer‑to‑peer Airbnb platform, those processes seem to accelerate and lead to the state of saturation known as “overtourism.” And as such, the ongoing touristification should be positioned in the very centre of urban tourism studies – the intersection of tourism studies and wider understand urban studies – becoming a fundamental issue for the future of the globe.
