Degrowth, understood as both social theory and social movement, has emerged within the context of this global crisis. However, thus far the vibrant degrowth discussion has yet to engage systematically with the tourism industry in particular, while, by the same token, tourism research has largely neglected explicit discussion of degrowth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings the two discussions together to interrogate their complementarity. Identifying a growth imperative in the basic structure of the capitalist economy, the contributors contend that mounting critique of overtourism can be understood as a structural response to the ravages of capitalist development more broadly. Debate concerning overtourism thus offers a valuable opportunity to re-politicise discussion of tourism development generally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring of the potential for degrowth to facilitate a truly sustainable tourism, \u003cem\u003eTourism and Degrowth\u003c\/em\u003e will be of great interest to scholars of tourism, environmental sustainability and development.
