Abstract

The survey of relevant professional literature reveals the increasing scholarly attention paid to the phenomenon of overtourism while singling out Budapest as one of the most affected urban areas. One potential explanation is that such situation developed due to the decreasing ability of central districts to absorb the growing visitor load along with the decline of seasonal distribution of tourism. The current situation could have also emerged because the respective negative consequences were not counteracted by the inclusion of local residents. The residential segments and inhabitants were not provided a share of the tourism-related income and despite the steady growth of visitor numbers they were not consulted either. With the overtourism phenomenon on the destination life-cycle (Butler 2008) the consolidation phase is in an over developed state, but not stepping into stagnation. The increase in the number of tourists causes the irritation of locals (Doxy 1975), it gives the connotation of a city that is crowded, and unable to be lived in, in the case of Budapest though, it doesn’t turn into a phase of antagonism. According to previous tourism researches, an indecipherable situation has arisen in the Capital City. In their opinion the only way to overcome the problem is the completely of the traffic system and introducing the congestion charge
