Título: Overtourism: the Impact of tourism on Madeira’s social and economic environment
Autor: Majdak, Piotr; Mosz, Jakub; Almeida, António Manuel Martins de
Resumo: The main goal of the analyses presented in the article is to identify the phenomena
and consequences concomitant with the phenomenon of overtourism in the economic (with
particular emphasis on energy) and social dimensions, regarding the Portuguese island of
Madeira. The starting point for considerations includes a review of the issues that define the
theoretical framework of “excessive tourism”, as well as a discussion of the most important
determinants of the socio-economic development of Madeira. Then, the results of own
research are presented, including the original analysis of existing data on electricity
production, population growth and the number of overnight stays, as well as the results of
a survey conducted in April 20211
, among both permanent residents and tourists visiting the
island. The obtained results indicate, among others, that for each increase in the number of
overnight stays by 1%, the production of electricity increases by 0.597%; and for every 1%
increase in the number of inhabitants, there is a 5.617% increase in electricity production. At
the same time, the data on the number of inhabitants indicates a population growth rate close
to zero, and thus a higher level of consumption will come from the tourist sector. Based on
the results of the survey, key problem areas have been identified (including, for example,
issues related to the sense of local identity, security or relations between tourists and
residents). The volume of tourist traffic has also been assessed, and a number of reflections
and recommendations have been formulated to limit the negative effects of “excessive
tourism”.
