| Description | With the increasing number of tourists in destinations, not only positive influences, but also increasingly negative impacts of tourism, which can be classified into environmental, economic, social and cultural areas, appear. In extreme cases, overtourism or tourism-phobia may occur in the destination. The impact of tourism on the inhabitants of the destination and its evaluation and understanding are key inputs for its sustainable development. This paper focuses on the perception of the impact of tourism on the socio-economic environment of Malta with a target group of younger than 26 for a questionnaire survey carried out during July 2018. The data processed from 93 questionnaires mainly shows a negative impact on the environmental and economic and positive impact on the social and cultural group and point to Malta's dependence on tourism. |
