dc.descriptionThis document provides methodological guidance for assessing tourism carrying capacity in Mediterranean coastal areas within integrated coastal area management. It defines carrying capacity as the maximum visitation that avoids environmental, economic, and socio-cultural harm and declines in visitor satisfaction, and structures the work into four phases: documentation and mapping, analysis, development options, and formulation, followed by application and monitoring. It groups assessment parameters into physical-ecological, socio-demographic, and political-economic domains, links them to alternative development scenarios, and embeds results in sustainable tourism planning. It details data needs, GIS-supported mapping, standards, and community participation, and situates the approach within UNEP’s Mediterranean Action Plan via the Priority Actions Programme Regional Activity Centre. Case studies from Vis and Rhodes demonstrate scenario appraisal, capacity calculation, and integration into planning tools.en
